India's tremendous success at the Tokyo Olympics seems to have influenced the sports budget as the central government on Tuesday (February 1) allocated Rs 3062.60 crore for the financial year 2022-23 — an increase of Rs 305.58 crore, compared to the last year’s amount. In the last financial year, the government had allocated Rs 2596.14 crore for sports, which was later revised to Rs 2757.02 crore.
