Post Budget reaction from Mr. N S (Satya Narayana) Rao, Group CFO, Ramky Group

New Delhi, February 01, 2025: The Budget 2025 outlines a promising approach to driving sustainable growth, with a particular focus on Infrastructure. Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman’s fiscal consolidation strategy, with a projected fiscal deficit of 4.4% of GDP for FY25-26, sets the stage for a steady transition towards a Viksit Bharat. While the capital expenditure outlay has been reduced, there is a clear shift towards innovative financing mechanisms.

The increased focus on Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) signals a more collaborative approach to infrastructure development, leveraging private sector expertise and investment. Additionally, the emphasis on supporting states with interest-free loans for capital expenditure and incentivizing reforms will help strengthen regional infrastructure. The planned asset monetization strategy is another key development, with the potential to reinvest significant capital into new projects, fueling long-term growth. Collectively, these initiatives reflect a forward-thinking approach that prioritizes sustainable infrastructure development and quality growth.
