BAJAJ BROKING
The Union Budget 2025 introduced key reforms impacting various sectors. It emphasized fiscal prudence, infrastructure, taxation, and industry-specific incentives. Major allocations include ₹1.5 lakh crore in 50-year interest-free loans to states, ₹100 billion for urban development, and Jal Jeevan Mission extension until 2028. The nil tax slab increase to ₹12 lakh per annum is expected to boost consumption, benefiting FMCG and auto sectors. The budget also raised the insurance FDI cap to 100%, supporting sectoral growth.
Stock markets saw mixed reactions, with insurance, consumer, real estate, and green energy stocks rallying, while infrastructure, defense, and railway stocks declined. Auto and tourism stocks benefited from policy support, impacting Maruti, Indigo, and IRCTC. Medical tourism got a boost with visa rule relaxations, positively affecting Apollo and Fortis.
Infrastructure and power sectors saw ₹25,000 crore allocated for shipbuilding and ₹100 billion for urban development. The clean energy focus led to 15% gains in green energy stocks, while the nuclear roadmap targets 100 GW by 2047. Despite broad economic support, defense and railway stocks declined due to lower-than-expected allocations. The budget’s long-term reforms signal sustained growth opportunities across multiple industries.
