The detailed district-wise data from the official budget documents reveals that Pune, Mumbai Suburbs, Nagpur, Nashik, and Thane are among the districts with significant allocations for the 2026-27 fiscal year. Other districts like Ahilyanagar, Solapur, Jalgaon, and Amravati also received substantial allocations under the DAP.
Chief Minister Fadnavis presented a Budget of Rs 7,69,467 crore for the 2026-27 fiscal year, with revenue and fiscal deficits noted.
