Below the Post Budget Quote on Manufacturing Sector and Mining Sector by Sanjay Choudhari, SBL Energy

"The Union Budget 2026-2027 points to a clear strategic response to the growing global trade tensions and supply-chain vulnerabilities. By establishing dedicated rare earth corridors across mineral-rich states and supporting downstream processing, research, and manufacturing, the government is addressing one of India’s most critical dependencies – access to strategic materials dominated by global monopolies. This initiative not only strengthens domestic capabilities but also provides a significant boost to the mining sector, incentivising exploration, commercial-scale extraction, and integration with downstream industries. 

Apart from this, the parallel push to strengthen manufacturing across priority sectors, including the creation of dedicated chemical parks, reflects a shift from fragmented capacity to integrated industrial ecosystems. To sum it all up, these measures reduce import dependence, build supply-chain resilience, and position India as a more reliable and competitive player in global manufacturing networks."
