1. Major Infrastructure Investment: Building for the Future*
One of the standout features of the Union Budget 2025 is the substantial push for infrastructure development. A whopping *₹10 lakh crore* has been allocated to improve roads, railways, ports, and digital infrastructure. This isn’t just about building more physical structures—it’s about creating a modern foundation that can support India’s long-term growth. This budget aims to make India a more connected, trade-friendly economy, which will not only improve mobility but also stimulate job creation across the country.
This is a massive step in transforming India’s infrastructure into one that can compete globally and drive future economic growth,” said Sitharaman.
