Traders and jewellers have expressed mixed reactions following the presentation of the Union Budget 2026-27 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Parliament on Sunday. While some found the budget satisfactory, others believe a clear opinion can only be formed after a thorough review. A few feel the budget is not bad but lacks significant relief measures for the business community.
Neeraj Maheshwari, owner of an electronics shop in Sector 18, shared his views on the budget. He acknowledged some positive points, particularly the government’s approach towards controlling the rising prices of medicines, calling it a good step that could provide relief to the common people if implemented properly.
However, Neeraj also pointed out that the budget does not offer any special benefits for traders. He explained that price fluctuations impact business margins directly—higher prices affect sales adversely, and lower prices reduce profit margins. Despite this, he described the budget as reasonable at first glance and emphasized the need to study it in detail before drawing final conclusions.
Atul Mehra, owner of ARM Jewellers, described the budget as good under the leadership of the Modi government. He noted that although there were no major announcements related to gold and silver, market prices for these metals have declined following the budget. This, he said, is welcome news for customers.
According to Atul, those who have been waiting to purchase gold and silver for a long time can now consider buying these metals comfortably, whether for children’s weddings or investment purposes.
