Hyderabad, Feb 1 (TNT): Welcoming the Union Budget 2026–27, Mr. Sunil Nair, CEO of Ramky Infrastructure Ltd, on Sunday said the Budget reinforces the government’s strong commitment to sustaining India’s infrastructure-led growth momentum while addressing long-standing financing challenges in the sector.
He described the proposed Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund as a forward-looking reform that directly tackles risk perception during the early stages of infrastructure projects.
By providing partial credit guarantees to lenders, the move is expected to ease financing constraints and encourage greater private sector participation in large-scale developments, he said in a statement here.
Mr. Nair also welcomed the government’s push to accelerate asset monetisation through REITs for CPSE-owned real estate, noting that it would unlock idle capital, improve liquidity, and stimulate investments across allied sectors such as logistics, housing, and industrial infrastructure.
Highlighting the Budget’s emphasis on industrial infrastructure, he said initiatives such as Chemical Parks, bulk drug parks, and the ₹10,000-crore Biopharma Shakti scheme would strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities and reduce import dependence, while fostering innovation and regulatory excellence.
With a proposed capital expenditure of ₹12.2 lakh crore for FY 2026-27, Mr. Nair said the Budget positions infrastructure as the backbone of economic growth and creates a balanced, de-risked, and capital-efficient ecosystem for sustainable development.
