By Mr. Sudhanshu Vats, MD, Pidilite Industries Limited.

“The Union Budget 2026 – 27 reinforces strong confidence in India’s growth trajectory, anchored in manufacturing, infrastructure and consumption. The continued focus on domestic manufacturing across chemicals, electronics and capital goods strengthens supply-chain resilience and supports India’s ambition to be a globally competitive production hub. With public capex at ₹12.2 lakh crore, demand across housing, construction and infrastructure-linked industries will remain robust, directly benefiting the building materials and adhesives ecosystem. The emphasis on digital infrastructure, Automation & AI-led Customs reforms and trade facilitation will enhance ease of doing business and global integration. Overall, the Budget provides the confidence to invest, innovate and scale alongside India’s long-term economic vision. Onwards to a Viksit Bharat 2047.”
