MUMBAI - Jagannarayan Padmanabhan, senior director & global head, consulting, Crisil Intelligence, said the following on the Union Budget for 2026-27 (Apr-Mar), presented in the Lok Sabha by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday:
The finance minister's announcement of seven high-speed transport corridors is critical not just for capacity creation, but for enabling technology adoption through advanced signalling, traffic management and higher-spec rolling stock. These corridors will significantly reduce inter-city travel time and support seamless multimodal people movement by integrating rail, road, metro, bus and aviation networks. Given their long gestation, success will hinge on access to long-term financing and appropriately structured moratoriums. End
