Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to prioritize green mobility, affordable housing, holistic infrastructure development, and a big push to manufacturing, along with boosting consumption demand. The budget is also likely to include a roadmap for making India a developed nation by 2047.
To achieve this goal, the government needs to prioritize and enable a shift from agriculture to manufacturing to provide a pathway for employment. Support for core engineering-led manufacturing, strengthening MSMEs, and creating new clusters like EV, electronics, and aircraft manufacturing is critical.
The paper also highlights the need for a national agriculture infrastructure mission with a focus on improving logistics like cold storage, processing units, and packaging facilities to reduce post-harvest losses and ensure better price realisation for farmers.
Promoting sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture will be a roadmap for de-carbonisation in agriculture for the next 10 years and help India meet its net-zero commitment by 2070.
With the Indian economy expected to increasingly run on green fuel, the directional shift is gathering pace across different levels. The launch of PMAY 2.0, incorporating components like Affordable Housing in Partnership and Beneficiary Led Construction, is expected to tailor housing solutions to financial capabilities of large sections of the population.
