In a spirited address to the media in Gandhinagar on Thursday, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel described the upcoming Union Budget 2026-27 as a boon for the state. Crafted under PM Narendra Modi’s leadership, it prioritizes rapid economic advancement, world-class infrastructure, and equitable growth for all.
‘Delivered India is no longer a dream but a roadmap,’ Patel asserted, breaking down the budget’s pillars: sustainable growth, empowering citizens through skill development for national wealth, and inclusive progress in every domain.
Spotlighting innovation, the Rs 10,000 crore Bio-Pharma Strength Program will catapult India—and Gujarat—into the global spotlight for bio-pharmaceutical production. Gujarat’s pharmaceutical prowess positions it perfectly to leverage these funds.
Textiles get a fresh impetus via six targeted schemes, set to supercharge the industry’s momentum. Patel reserved special praise for the MSME sector, Gujarat’s economic powerhouse boasting more than 42 lakh enterprises. The new Rs 10,000 crore fund for ‘Champion MSMEs’ ensures better funding access and liquidity.
Infrastructure takes center stage with Gujarat’s four semiconductor facilities poised for growth under Semiconductor Mission 2.0. The PM Gati-Shakti push, featuring the Dankuni-Surat freight corridor, will revolutionize logistics, cutting costs and boosting efficiency for manufacturers.
Overall, this budget equips Gujarat to lead India’s economic surge, balancing tradition with cutting-edge opportunities.
