“Union Budget 2026–27 clearly reinforces the Government’s long-term commitment to strengthening India’s manufacturing-led growth model, with Atmanirbharta firmly positioned as the guiding North Star of economic policy. The focused push to scale manufacturing across seven strategic and frontier sectors, combined with sustained investments in industrial corridors, logistics efficiency, and workforce upskilling, will deepen domestic value creation and enhance productivity across the industrial ecosystem.
As India advances towards Viksit Bharat, the Budget takes a decisive step in promoting design-led, technology-driven and value-added manufacturing, while pragmatically acknowledging the need for deep integration with global supply chains. For manufacturing-intensive sectors such as bath and lighting, where precision, quality, sustainability and scale are critical, the focus on technology adoption and the development of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as integrated manufacturing hubs will unlock fresh demand, create skilled employment, and drive regional industrialisation,”
