“The ₹20,000 crore investment in Small Modular Reactors under the Nuclear Energy Mission is a strong step toward energy self-sufficiency and sustainability, strengthening India’s position in green technology and reinforcing our commitment to Atmanirbharta.” Anil G. Verma, Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer, Godrej Enterprises Group
The Union Budget 2025-26 is holistic in its approach and has been well thought out as it addresses all sections of the society – students, farmers, the economically weak and women – which is a must for India to move forward.
The Budget takes significant steps to strengthen India’s manufacturing sector, boost MSMEs, and enhance supply chains, reinforcing the Make in India vision. By supporting domestic industries and easing business regulations, it paves the way for companies like Godrej Enterprises Group to contribute more effectively to the country’s progress through innovation and engineering.
The government’s focus on advanced technology, with funding for deep tech and 10,000 new research fellowships, will drive growth in critical sectors such as clean energy, aerospace, and defence where we continue expanding our expertise. The ₹20,000 crore investment in Small Modular Reactors under the Nuclear Energy Mission is a strong step toward energy self-sufficiency and sustainability, strengthening India’s position in green technology and reinforcing our commitment to Atmanirbharta.
The focus on warehousing infrastructure, particularly for air cargo and high-value perishable products, will improve logistics efficiency and support businesses reliant on fast, secure supply chains. This, along with continued investments in industrial infrastructure, will strengthen India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
Additionally, the simplification of business regulations under the Jan Vishwas Bill 2 will encourage industry growth and investment, allowing companies like ours to focus on expansion rather than navigating complex compliance processes.
On an individual level, it addresses current challenges such as personal consumption by ensuring higher disposable incomes across a large section of the populace through Income tax reliefs. It also aims to generate employment among the youth by continuing to invest in skilling which will further boost incomes and hence consumption.
With a well-balanced approach to business and people, this budget lays a strong foundation for the future. We at Godrej Enterprises Group look forward to supporting these initiatives and strengthening India’s position as a global manufacturing hub.
