“As India advances toward becoming a global digital leader, the upcoming Union Budget is expected to play a decisive role in shaping the country’s technology and AI trajectory. Beyond digital services, the focus must now shift to deep-tech innovation, AI-led transformation, and indigenous technology development. Enhanced incentives for AI research, innovation funding, and industry–academia collaboration will be crucial to accelerate adoption across sectors such as healthcare, urban infrastructure, manufacturing, and public safety.
Equally important is strengthening domestic electronics and semiconductor ecosystems by rationalising duties on critical components while encouraging local manufacturing. Skilling and reskilling initiatives in AI, data science, and cybersecurity will be key to building a future-ready workforce.”
