“The 2026 Union Budget sends a positive signal for India’s infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. Continued focus on infrastructure development, including in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, will support more balanced and sustainable growth. The proposed ₹20,000-crore allocation for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is a practical step towards decarbonisation, especially for hard-to-abate industries. For manufacturers, these measures create opportunities to adopt cleaner technologies, strengthen competitiveness, and align sustainability goals with long-term business growth.”

“The Union Budget sends a clear signal of India’s intent to strengthen its logistics and supply chain capabilities at a global scale. The focus on infrastructure development, coastal cargo movement, container manufacturing, and last-mile connectivity in tier-2 and tier-3 cities directly addresses the industry’s need for efficiency, resilience, and scalability. The emphasis on reducing import dependence, integrating rail, road, and coastal transport, and encouraging technology-enabled fleet management is particularly encouraging. For vehicle telematics companies, this creates an enabling environment for faster automation, improved fleet visibility, lower logistics costs, and a more tech-driven role for India in global trade.
