Budget Reaction Quote from Ms. Deepali DeV, COO of ECOS (India) Mobility and Hospitality Limited
“The Union Budget 2026–27 presents a balanced and forward-looking roadmap for strengthening India’s infrastructure-led growth while boosting mobility, tourism potential and service-sector employment. The continued emphasis on public capital investment, with effective capex rising to ₹17.14 lakh crore, alongside improved transport networks and last-mile connectivity, will enhance the efficiency and reliability of travel and mobility ecosystems nationwide.
The Budget’s focus on logistics improvements, multimodal transport integration and urban infrastructure aligns well with the evolving needs of India’s corporate mobility and hospitality sectors. Enhanced allocations for transport, urban renewal and centrally supported schemes will support smoother movement of people and goods, reduce congestion and promote more sustainable mobility outcomes.
Equally important are measures to simplify compliance, encourage formalization and strengthen MSMEs, fostering a more trust-based regulatory environment that enables service-oriented enterprises to scale with confidence. Overall, the Budget reinforces India’s journey towards a globally competitive, service-driven economy and opens new avenues for organized mobility and hospitality providers.” – Ms. Deepali DeV, Chief Operating Officer of ECOS (India) Mobility & Hospitality Limited.
