Budget 2025: Capex misses the mark, tax relief comes as an offset

Live Mint  

The Centre has been the bulwark of investments over the past five fiscals, building out infrastructure to stoke and sustain long-term economic growth. Two, direct interventions such as the production linked incentive schemes and the National Semiconductor Mission have generated strong investment interest, fostering domestic production, attracting foreign investment, and promoting a more competitive manufacturing landscape. As India undergoes a manufacturing renaissance, shifting from traditional sectors to high-technology ones such as solar photovoltaic, lithium-ion batteries and semiconductors, emerging sectors will drive capex growth. The continuation of last fiscal’s duty cuts, renewed focus on sectors such as solar, battery storage, wind and high-voltage transmission will support backward integration efforts. The results of such policies are becoming increasingly evident, reflecting the government's efforts to stimulate the manufacturing sector, although the fast-evolving global, technological and commodity dynamics will require close monitoring.
