I would like to congratulate the Hon’ble Finance Minister for rolling out a pragmatic yet visionary Union Budget, aimed at building a developed and self-reliant India. It sets a roadmap for inclusive, sustainable and accelerated economic growth, with a clear focus on robust infrastructure and connectivity, domestic manufacturing excellence, balanced regional growth and creation of a future ready workforce. The government’s reform agenda marks a decisive shift from improving the ‘ease of doing business’ to accelerating ‘the speed of doing business’, through simplified regulations and technology-enabled approvals.
Targeted customs duty exemptions for lithium-ion cells, battery energy storage systems and key clean-energy manufacturing inputs will help scale domestic capacity and improve project viability. The commitment to carbon capture, utilisation and storage acknowledges the need for credible transition pathways for sectors such as power, steel, cement and refining, while long-term support for nuclear energy creates a stable framework for capital-intensive energy investments.”
