“The Union Budget 2026–27 presents a forward-looking roadmap that balances growth, fiscal discipline, and long-term sustainability. The government’s decision to sustain public capital expenditure at around ₹12.2 lakh crore, accounting for approximately 3.4% of GDP, reinforces infrastructure-led growth as a key economic driver. This continued focus on large-scale infrastructure creation and manufacturing-led development sends a strong signal of policy stability and long-term confidence to industry. The focus on energy security, modern infrastructure, and environmentally sustainable systems is particularly significant at a time when grid resilience, electrification, and clean mobility are becoming central to national competitiveness. Investments in power infrastructure, logistics, urban development, and technology-led governance will help create a more efficient and future-ready ecosystem for industries and utilities alike. Measures aimed at reducing compliance burdens, enhancing ease of doing business, and improving liquidity for enterprises will further enable manufacturers to scale responsibly and innovate with confidence.
Equally encouraging is the Budget’s emphasis on indigenisation, technology adoption, and skill development, which together strengthen India’s position as a global manufacturing and innovation hub. By combining a strong push for ‘Make in India’ with prudent fiscal management and long-term planning, the Budget lays the groundwork for sustainable growth while supporting India’s transition toward smarter grids, cleaner energy systems, and resilient infrastructure. Overall, the Budget provides industry with the clarity, continuity, and confidence needed to invest in future-ready solutions that align economic growth with environmental responsibility.”
