CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The Union Budget 2025, presented today by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, has received widespread appreciation from industry leaders, including philanthropist and business leader Sudha Reddy. She hailed the budget as a game- changer for India’s economy, emphasizing its focus on infrastructure, clean energy, industrial expansion, and MSME growth.
The budget has allocated Rs. 1.5 lakh crore in loans for state governments to accelerate capital expenditure. This is expected to drive massive growth in roads, water supply, and energy projects, areas where Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has played a significant role. The extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission until 2028 further reinforces the government’s commitment to water supply projects.
“This budget reflects a strong push toward infrastructure-led economic growth. The increased capital allocation will unlock new opportunities for industries, creating jobs and enhancing the nation’s development,” said Sudha Reddy.
A major highlight of the budget is the Nuclear Energy Mission, which aims to generate 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047, marking a significant leap in India’s clean energy transition. Additionally, the government has introduced policy support for solar, wind, and EV battery production, ensuring a stronger push for sustainable manufacturing.
“The emphasis on clean energy is a testament to India’s commitment to a greener future. Incentives for clean technology manufacturing will drive innovation, attract investments, and contribute to a sustainable economy,” Sudha Reddy stated.
