by Dr. Anish Shah, Group CEO & MD, Mahindra Group on the Union Budget 2025

“We commend the 2025 Union Budget for its continued support of robust consumption growth through changes in the tax structure, effectively placing more disposable income in the hands of the Indian consumer. This will encourage private sector capex to move in a positive direction.

The theme of “Make in India for the world” remains a key focus in this budget, with efforts to reduce India’s manufacturing costs poised to significantly enhance the country’s global competitiveness. In addition to providing an immediate stimulus for demand and growth, the budget emphasizes long-term growth through substantial infrastructure investments and a strong focus on innovation.

Lastly, the theme of inclusive development, with a strong emphasis on MSMEs, agriculture, and skilling, aims to create a resilient ecosystem that will drive economic growth and help achieve the Viksit Bharat Goals by 2047.”
