The realty sector has broadly welcomed the Union Budget 2026 for its strong emphasis on infrastructure and connectivity, viewing it as a supportive framework for the sector’s long-term growth. With public capital expenditure pegged at Rs. 12.2 lakh crore, the introduction of an Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund and announcements around high-speed rail corridors and urban connectivity, industry players say the Budget reinforces the government’s focus on strengthening the backbone that underpins real estate development across markets.
