Government's Current-Year Priorities
- Vision: The State Government is pursuing its vision of a Viksit Odisha, with the objective of transforming Odisha into a USD 500 billion economy by 2036 and contributing meaningfully to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
- Priorities for 2026-27: Inclusive and sustainable economic growth, creation of quality employment and livelihood opportunities, strengthening rural and urban infrastructure, and improving access to education, healthcare, and basic services.
- Economic Outlook: The Indian economy registered a strong GDP growth of 7.8% in Q1 of FY 2026-27, supported by domestic demand, investment, and sustained public capital expenditure.

Odisha's economy is expected to maintain its growth momentum with continued emphasis on fiscal prudence alongside infrastructure-led growth.
- Fiscal Deficit: The fiscal deficit was projected at 3.5% of GSDP for financing the Budget.
Key Principles of the Supplementary Exercise
- Re-prioritization: The Supplementary Statement of Expenditure, 2026-27 is proposed to be an exercise for re-prioritization of the Budget, in which Administrative Departments would be allowed to augment provision in one unit only by locating equivalent savings in some other unit of expenditure beyond the scope of re-appropriation.
- High Impact Projects: High impact new Capital projects, announcements made by the Government from time-to-time, and proposals for enhancing livelihood activities shall be fully funded.
- Actual Need & Spending Capacity: Supplementary proposals should not be prepared in a routine manner; they should receive personal attention of the Estimating and Controlling Officer concerned, and be based on actual need and commensurate with actual spending capacity.
- C&AG Comments: Large-scale surrender of Supplementary Provision is being adversely commented upon by the C&AG of India year after year.
