The Union Budget 2026 provides long-term clarity on how India’s cities will grow. Its emphasis on infrastructure-led development, stronger regional economic clusters and improved intercity connectivity creates a stable foundation for large-scale real estate planning across commercial, mixed-use and residential formats. The focus on GCCs in emerging cities and sustained support for digital infrastructure, including data centres, strengthens demand for high-quality office ecosystems beyond traditional metros. At the same time, better-funded urban infrastructure and city-level financing mechanisms improve the overall livability and resilience of growing cities. At Sattva Group, we see this Budget as reinforcing the importance of integrated development that is thoughtfully planned, digitally ready and built for long-term relevance.”

The focus on infrastructure spending has a real ripple effect. Better connectivity improves ease of travel, enables more efficient sharing of resources, and leads to stronger utilisation across manufacturing and infrastructure. This helps accelerate consumption and creates a more balanced economy.

The scale of the capex push reflects fiscal prudence and a long-term, structural approach to growth. The push to strengthen the service economy through supportive tax structures for data centres and Global Capability Centres will build growth momentum, accelerate value creation, and reinforce India’s position as a preferred destination for global enterprises.”

“The Union Budget 2026–27 adopts a structural approach to real estate by prioritising urban infrastructure and capital formation over short-term demand incentives. In the absence of incremental buyer incentives, the emphasis naturally shifts to execution quality, cost discipline, and timely delivery. For residential developers, this underscores the importance of strong governance, predictable project execution, and pricing aligned with project fundamentals, delivery timelines, and long-term operating efficiency.”
