Commenting on the Union Budget 2026, Mr. Gaurav Pandey, Co-Chairman, FICCI Committee on Urban Development and Real Estate, and Managing Director & CEO of Godrej Properties, said the budget continues a strong focus on infrastructure-led growth, marked by a record capital expenditure of INR 12.2 lakh crore.
He noted that the sustained emphasis on urban development, connectivity, and city-led growth reflects the government’s long-term vision for economic expansion. Measures such as the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund, expansion of transport corridors, and support for city economic regions are expected to have a positive impact on real estate demand over the medium term.
Mr. Pandey further stated that the government’s commitment to fiscal discipline and long-term growth creates a stable macroeconomic foundation, strengthening confidence across sectors and supporting sustained economic expansion.
