Union Budget 2026–27: Post-Budget Reaction by Hilti India
Post-Budget reaction from Mr. Jayant Kumar, Managing Director and General Manager at Hilti India:
"Budget 2026 reinforces India’s infrastructure-led growth with FY27 capital expenditure of ₹12.2 lakh crore and a strong push across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Investments in highways, metros, railways, airports, power, seven high-speed rail corridors, and new National Waterways will significantly accelerate construction activity and project scale."
"The proposed Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund, asset recycling through REITs, and the scheme to boost construction and infrastructure equipment (CIE) manufacturing will further scale up domestic production of advanced machinery and reinforce Make in India, strengthening financing as well as on-ground execution."
"As project scale and complexity increase, the industry will need to build faster while raising the bar on how construction is delivered. Guided by our purpose of making construction better, Hilti India remains committed to being a long-term partner to the infrastructure ecosystem, supporting employment, allied industries, and India’s journey towards a developed economy."
