Below the Quote on Budget 2026 by Mr. NS Venkatesh, CEO, Bharat InvITs Association

"We welcome the Union Budget 2026 and the government's sustained focus for growth through infrastructure. The planned growth in public capital spending to ?12.2 lakh crore in FY27, with the focus on funding urban infrastructure through tools like InvITs and REITs and organizations like NIIF and NaBFID, shows that the government has strong long-term policy goals. The focus on cities with populations above five lakh, including tier-2 and tier-3 cities, will help deepen the pipeline of mature, revenue-generating infrastructure assets. For investors, this translates into better-quality assets, enhanced cash flow visibility, and a more predictable long-term investment offer through InvITs. Such policy continuity is essential for sustaining long-term capital participation in India’s infrastructure ecosystem. The path towards fiscal deficit management and keeping the Government borrowings within the manageable level will ensure non crowding out of the private sector from the borrowing space. This will in turn enable the private sector to borrow and invest in long term infrastructure assets"
