Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday emphasised that state governments must channel their borrowed funds into long-term capital expenditure, such as schools and hospitals, rather than relying heavily on revenue expenditure like cash distributions when financial resources are tight.
Addressing the media, Sitharaman underscored that taking loans to create public infrastructure yields a positive economic impact and generates employment for the next 50 to 60 years.
"Borrowing is not the issue, but what you do with the borrowed money matters. Are you creating assets? Is it bringing education, industries, or increasing employment? That should be the focus," she said, noting that states are permitted to borrow up to three per cent of their Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP).

The Pentagon has told senators it needs roughly USD 80 billion, mostly to cover the cost of the US war against Iran, adding to what is already a sizable military spending boost being sought by President Donald Trump.
The White House Office of Management and Budget has yet to make a formal request to Congress. But Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, including Monday evening.
A top deputy defence secretary told senators about the Iran funding request last week, according to two people familiar with the situation but not authorised to discuss it publicly.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on the developments.

Two Republican senators flagged histories of Qatar and Pakistan of "harbouring terrorists" against the backdrop of US Vice President J D Vance's remarks professing "love" for Islamabad.
"It should be clear to everybody by now who our friends really are. Qatar and Pakistan have long histories of harbouring terrorists, and right now they seem far more invested in propping up Iran's decades-long terror campaign than achieving a meaningful peace," Senator Rick Scott said in a post on X on Monday.
The Florida senator's remarks came against the backdrop of Vance's "we love Pakistan" remark in Switzerland, where he, along with leaders from Pakistan and Qatar, were negotiating technical details of a peace deal with Iran.
"There is still room for a workable agreement that benefits everyone. HOWEVER, what everybody needs to get through their heads here is that there is ZERO chance Iran comes out of this able to build a nuclear weapon," Scott said.
Senator Tim Sheehy from Montana, in an ...
