The Nashik Municipal Corporation Commissioner has presented a budget estimate of INR 3,099.85 crore for the financial year 2026-27, prepared under Section 95 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act. The budget, which follows a revised estimate of INR 3,629.48 crore for 2025-26 under the Commissioner's office, allocates INR 736.96 crore towards capital expenditure, with the largest share nearly half earmarked for construction, electrical, garden, and other capital works. The remaining capital outlay covers town planning, government scheme contributions, corporator development funds, and water supply and sewerage projects.
The Nashik Municipal Corporation has released its Commissioner-level budget estimate for the financial year 2026-27, pegging the civic body's total income and expenditure projections at INR 3,099.85 crore, as per the document prepared under Section 95 of the Maharashtra Municipal Corporation Act.
The budget document outlines income and expenditure across three administrative segments designated as Part "A", Part "C", and Part "P" in the civic body's accounting structure, alongside dedicated sections for capital works, reserve funds, and district, state, and centrally sponsored schemes including the AMRUT mission. The overall budget framework reflects a continued upward trend in the corporation's financial outlay, building on a revised estimate of INR 3,629.48 crore approved at the Commissioner's level for the ongoing 2025-26 financial year, which itself had been raised from an original budgetary estimate of INR 3,054.00 crore for that year.
On revenue expenditure, the civic body's outlay has shown a steady climb over recent years, rising from INR 2,353.04 crore in 2023-24 to INR 2,432.03 crore in 2024-25, before being projected upward sharply to INR 3,432.03 crore in the revised 2025-26 estimate. For 2026-27, revenue expenditure has been pegged at INR 2,263.04 crore under the Commissioner's budgetary estimate.
Capital expenditure for 2026-27 has been estimated at INR 736.96 crore, marking a moderation compared to the revised capital outlay of INR 1,503.96 crore projected for 2025-26. Within this capital expenditure allocation, the largest single component accounting for 49.53 per cent of the total, or approximately INR 365.09 crore has been set aside for construction, electrical works, gardens, and other miscellaneous capital projects. Town planning has been allocated INR 100 crore, representing 13.57 per cent of the capital budget, while contributions towards state government schemes account for a further 13.53 per cent, at INR 99.74 crore.
Reserve budget heads under capital expenditure, spanning both Part "A" and Part "P" classifications, have been allocated INR 58.04 crore, or 7.33 per cent of the capital outlay. Corporator discretionary funds and ward development funds together account for INR 50.86 crore, or 6.81 per cent. Capital expenditure under Part "C" covering water supply, sewerage, and drainage works — has been allocated INR 64.31 crore, amounting to 8.73 per cent of the total capital budget, while Part "P" capital expenditure stands at a comparatively modest INR 3.65 crore, or 0.50 per cent.
The budget document also includes detailed schedules of capital works across categories labelled A through E, spanning more than a hundred pages, along with a dedicated tree authority budget resolution and sections covering reserve funds and district, state, and central government scheme allocations, including provisions under the AMRUT urban infrastructure mission.
The figures presented form part of the Commissioner's budgetary estimate, which functions as a preliminary financial document subject to further review and approval by the Standing Committee and the General Body of the corporation before being finalised for implementation in the 2026-27 financial year.
