“The Union Budget 2026 reinforces the government’s focus on building a strong technology and innovation ecosystem. The expansion of the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 and the Biopharma SHAKTI programme highlight the role of innovation-led manufacturing and digital self-reliance.

Continued support for AI, data centres, cloud infrastructure, and MSME digital transformation provides long-term clarity and strengthens India’s position as a global digital hub.”
