Analyst are focusing fiscal deficit with focus on any tax reforms. According to a Bloomberg survey government will widen the budget deficit target to 3.5% of GDP at upcoming budget, up from a February estimate of 3.4%.

Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting her maiden budget at a time when the economy is showing signs of slowing down amid tepid tax collection. Consumer demand which has been the only engine so far driving the economy also looks vulnerable now.

Earlier on Thursday, chief economic adviser said the government will keep its fiscal deficit under control as it sees a rebound in economic growth from a five-year low. The Finance Ministry said growth will probably reach 7% in the current fiscal year that began on April 1. The government will seek to avoid undermining private investment by widening the fiscal deficit, Krishnamurthy Subramanian, author of the Economic Survey report and chief economic adviser, told reporters Thursday.
