“Budget 2026 sets a decisive direction for India’s manufacturing sector by reinforcing the ambition of Viksit Bharat through technology-led, sustainable growth. The emphasis on advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and green initiatives reflects a clear intent to build globally competitive yet responsible enterprises. Digital transformation, driven by IIoT, enables plants to operate with precision and foresight. Integrated plant dashboards, supported by real-time data analytics and continuous monitoring, empower leadership with actionable insights; improving productivity, energy efficiency, and operational resilience. Such capabilities are no longer optional; they are fundamental to achieving scale with consistency and compliance. Sustainability, when combined with data-driven decision-making, ensures long-term value creation for industry, society, and the economy. Budget 2026’s focus on innovation, skilling, and smart manufacturing provides industry leaders the confidence to invest in future-ready plants that are intelligent, transparent, and aligned with India’s journey toward inclusive and enduring industrial progress.”
