Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel expressed optimism about the Union Budget 2026-27’s impact on the state, speaking at a Gandhinagar press meet on Thursday. He portrayed it as a strategic blueprint under PM Modi’s guidance, targeting accelerated growth, superior infrastructure, and broad-based development.
The budget revolves around three imperatives: promoting enduring economic vitality, mobilizing public involvement in prosperity via capacity enhancement, and driving inclusivity across regions and sectors.
Patel drew attention to the ambitious Rs 10,000 crore Bio-Pharma initiative, designed to make India a bio-manufacturing powerhouse—a move that resonates deeply with Gujarat’s pharma dominance.
Support for textiles arrives through six innovative schemes, promising to revitalize the sector. The CM underscored the pivotal role of over 42 lakh MSMEs in sustaining Gujarat’s economy, welcoming the Rs 10,000 crore ‘Champion MSME’ fund for enhanced liquidity and direct aid.
Gujarat’s semiconductor ambitions, backed by four plants, align seamlessly with the India Semiconductor Mission 2.0. Enhancements in PM Gati-Shakti, notably the Dankuni-Surat dedicated corridor, will optimize freight movement, benefiting industries statewide.
This comprehensive budget not only addresses immediate needs but charts a course for long-term prosperity, positioning Gujarat at the forefront of national progress.
