By Mr. Ajitesh Korupolu, Founder & CEO, ASBL, for your consideration.

“As a new‑age infrastructure and real‑estate developer, we expect Budget 2026 to keep its focus firmly on connectivity, liveability and sustainability. Continued investment in city‑level infrastructure—roads, metro corridors, civic assets and water management that directly shapes the quality of life in our micro‑markets and supports integrated township development.

A predictable policy environment, especially around land approvals, taxation and single‑window clearances, will help developers plan long‑term and bring better‑designed, future‑ready communities to market. We also hope for incentives that bridge infrastructure and housing, such as stamp duty relief in smart city zones and support for green building certifications.

Budget 2026 is an opportunity to create synergies between infrastructure spending and real estate demand. By prioritising transit-oriented development and sustainable urban planning, the government can unlock private investment in live-work-play ecosystems that create jobs, drive consumption and build inclusive cities. ASBL is committed to delivering projects that embody these principles.”
