Union Budget 2025: Infrastructure must be engine of sustainable growth

Hindustan Times  

As the Union Budget 2025 approaches, there is palpable anticipation regarding the government’s policy direction to reinforce India’s economic growth. Ground-breaking initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline and the PM Gati Shakti plan have not only modernised India’s physical framework but also spurred economic growth. These initiatives reflect the government’s commitment to sustainable growth while addressing industrialisation, urbanisation challenges and environmental concerns and the upcoming budget must continue to address sustainable and inclusive infrastructure growth, especially in the following areas: · Sustainable water management and sewage treatment: India’s rapid urbanisation has increased pressure on water supply and usage with a corresponding need for robust water and wastewater management systems. While programmes like the Jal Jeevan Mission have laid the groundwork, the upcoming budget must enhance funding for sewage treatment plants, especially those utilising energy-efficient technologies and circular water management practices.
