Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday allocated Rs 4,342.55 crore to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in the interim Budget for 2024-25, a slight decrease from the revised estimates of Rs 4,449.79 in the previous fiscal.
According to the Budget document presented by Sitharaman, a large portion of the allocation — Rs 2,959.94 crore — has been made to broadcasting, while Rs 1,088.16 crore has been earmarked under the head of Information and Publicity, which is marginally higher than the revised estimates of the previous fiscal, PTI reported.
