The presentation of the Budget, the first by the new Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) government, will begin at 9 a.m. Satheesan, who handles the Finance portfolio, is set to become the third Congress Chief Minister in Kerala—after R.
Shankar and Oommen Chandy—to present the State Budget. The previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government had presented its 2026-27 State Budget on January 29 this year. The Budget, presented by then Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal, had envisioned ₹1,82,972.10 crore as revenue receipts and ₹2,17,558.76 crore as revenue expenditure.
The Revised Budget is also being presented against the backdrop of the debate sparked by a White Paper tabled by the government in the Assembly
which painted a bleak picture of State finances. Among other things, it had also called for a revamp of the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB).
