Key Highlights
The very scope of the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan is oriented towards rolling back to the fundamental growth engines for an economy which is bound to have lasting impacts. This could easily be understood basis upon the models adapted by China and Middle East countries like UAE, Oman & Qatar. When compared to size and scale the challenges and opportunities shall have semblance with China. For long this was required, and India is headed in right direction to embolden the basics which shall transform into sustainable and robust growth.
For any economy to witness fast paced growth, "self-reliance" in all aspects holds the key. To garner the self-reliance in major economic activity roads act as nerves to the heart in human body. The pace of planned NHAI capacity addition is impressive standing at 25,000 km in 2022-23 shall enable access to impressive network
The rising population and growing demand to go "Green" in mobility would see flourishment of special mobility zones with "Zero Fossil" fuel policy. Further, the space constraint shall see a scaling up in battery swapping with an enabler policy bringing inter operability standards to light. This will increase private sector investments through innovative business models to treat battery or energy as service leading enhanced EV ecosystem in India. Apart from this, grid scale battery energy storage shall be attracting eye balls from global investors to have a unified energy mix and promote renewable grid management system with a balanced structure.
Defense R&D to open up for private sector and start ups with 25% of the defense R&D budget earmarked. Private sector shall be allowed to have SPVs formulated in participation with DRDO in order to develop & design equipments as per the nodal body to be set for testing & certification.
Though ambitious in terms of capacity addition planned by 2030 the PLI certainly will be a boom for manufacturing high efficiency modules with priority to fully integrated manufacturing units from polysilicon to solar PV modules. Having said so, ideally some clarification for ALMM to be applied and the rise in CAPEX leading to tariff rise in solar sector was deeply anticipated but missed the budget.
AI, geospatial systems, drones, semiconductors, space economy, geonomics, pharma, green energy and clean mobility systems are the sectors which would garner maximum investments from both private & public entities and shall be forming the base for India's sustainable, clean and affirmative action for climate change by adaptive energy transition.
Taking cues from the very ethos of “success planning” eninrac through its dedicated team of sector consultants and industry specialist would be doing a round up on India Budget 2022-23 with live feeds, structured surveys and quality polls to offer unmatched point of view to all clients
