Quote from Dr. Sanjeev Srivastava, Head of Industrial Automation, Delta Electronics India
What this Budget makes very clear is that the focus is no longer only on adding capacity, but on improving how manufacturing actually performs on the ground. Initiatives like the Semiconductor Mission and the plan to rejuvenate 200 legacy industrial clusters show a clear intent to raise quality, precision, and reliability across factories. The proposed ₹10,000 crore MSME growth fund is also an important step, as stronger and more capable MSMEs directly strengthen the manufacturing ecosystem as a whole. As manufacturing becomes more complex and technology-intensive, automation and digital systems will increasingly be at the centre of day-to-day operations—helping plants improve consistency, manage scale, and meet global benchmarks. From a factory perspective, this Budget sets the direction for a more modern, efficient, and performance-driven manufacturing environment in India.
Post-Budget Quote on Union Budget 2026 from Delta Electronics India
Quote | Benjamin Lin, President, Delta Electronics India
This Budget brings together multiple strands of India’s manufacturing and technology growth story in a balanced and forward-looking manner. The ₹40,000 crore allocation for India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 and the enhanced outlay for electronics components manufacturing point to a clear focus on scale, depth, and ecosystem development. When seen alongside targeted support for MSMEs through a ₹10,000 crore growth fund, the policy framework addresses both large-scale manufacturing and the strength of the supplier base. By aligning capital support with capability building and innovation, the Budget creates a solid foundation for sustainable, technology-led growth and reinforces India’s ambition to emerge as a globally competitive electronics manufacturing hub.

What stands out in the Union Budget 2026 is the scale, consistency, and seriousness with which the government is approaching electronics and advanced manufacturing. The launch of India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 with an outlay of ₹40,000 crore, along with the expansion of the electronics components manufacturing scheme to a similar level, clearly signals a long-term commitment to building strong domestic capabilities. Importantly, the focus goes beyond manufacturing capacity to include full-stack design, development of Indian intellectual property, skill creation, and stronger supply-chain resilience. This reflects a practical understanding of how globally competitive technology ecosystems are built. Such clarity and continuity in policy direction give industry the confidence to plan long-term investments, deepen local value addition, and steadily move India up the electronics manufacturing value chain.
