This year's central road and infrastructure cess is expected to top Rs. 4.5l crore.

The Agri infra development cess will collect 50k crore.

We are taxing the present very heavily to invest for the future.

1/n
From 2018-19 to now, this allocation to Central road and infra fund has more than quadrupled. It was 90k cr in 2018-19.

#Cess has been the major National capex funder for our country.
2/n
The fuel cess was raised significantly in 2020 by reducing excise duty. This was one of our economic responses to the Covid crisis. Money was moved from divisible central pool to the infra fund.

This was aimed at force-spending on infra. Rapid Asset creation was the goal.
