Budget 2026: Check what gets cheaper in Union Budget this year

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget for 2026-27 on Sunday. One of the key highlights of the Budget is the list of items that become cheaper following changes in taxes, customs duties and policy measures.

Each year, the government tweaks customs and excise duties to support domestic manufacturing, manage imports and boost demand. When duties are reduced or exemptions are announced, input costs fall, often translating into lower prices for consumers.
