** Citi Research expects India's federal budget for fiscal year 2027 to offer limited support for consumption and to stay anchored on targeted priorities such as affordable housing and health insurance

** Sees the government maintaining a strong tilt toward public capital expenditure, with spending budgeted above nominal GDP growth and led by defence outlays

** Citi adds that fiscal consolidation must continue even as options to raise tax revenues narrow after major cuts to corporate tax, personal income tax, and the GST regime

** Ahead of the February 1 budget, it flags defence as a preferred theme, naming Bharat Electronics BAJE.NS as a top pick

** Also favours affordable housing plays such as Aavas Financiers AVAS.NS and Aadhar Housing AADA.NS

** Citi says domestic manufacturing competitiveness could improve if the government overhauls the customs duty architecture

** Adds that any tweaks to buyback or dividend taxation, or to the STT and capital gains regime, would directly move capital markets and remain key monitorables
