We applaud the Finance Ministry and the Indian government’s enduring dedication to economic progress. Their decision to retain the Rs 11.11 lakh crore capex outlay for infrastructure over five years, alongside fiscal support, is warmly welcomed. This commitment, along with attracting private investment through viability gap funding and a market-driven financing framework, promises a bright future for infrastructure. Furthermore, the allocation of 3.4% of GDP to infrastructure, along with Rs 1.5 lakh crore in long-term, interest-free loans to states, empowers the industry to innovate and deliver cutting-edge projects that drive economic growth and job creation. The significant aspect is the emphasis on plug-and-play industrial parks, water, sewage and municipal solid waste treatment, paving way for SDG fulfillment and circular economy.

“Ramky Infrastructure Limited commends the Government of India’s vision for propelling overall economic growth. The Viksit Bharat mission’s nine priorities unveil a wealth of opportunities for both public and private entities through enabling policies and fiscal support.
One of the most important aspects of the infrastructure industry is the government’s unwavering commitment to skill development and the substantial capital expenditure outlay of ₹11.11 lakh crore designated for infrastructure developments. The sanctioning of twelve “plug and play” industrial parks, fully equipped with necessary resources promises to significantly enhance the nation’s manufacturing capabilities and generate a surge in employment opportunities. The roadmap for developing similar parks in 100 cities indicates a decentralised approach to industrial development, one that actively incorporates private-sector partnerships.
Furthermore, we applaud schemes like PM Awas Yojana, which addresses housing needs in both urban and rural areas. The government’s commendable allocation of Rs 2.66 lakh crore for rural development will facilitate the provision of essential infrastructure. In conclusion, Ramky Infrastructure Limited firmly believes the 2024 union budget paves the way for inclusive and sustainable growth across the nation”.
