The budget proposal to set up five new university townships near major industrial corridors could be the golden ticket for foreign institutions looking to establish campuses in India.

Yet, according to sector experts, more clarity is needed on land and other approvals.

The government will support states in creating these university townships, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in her budget speech on Sunday, adding that these academic zones will host multiple universities, colleges, research institutions, skill centres and residential complexes.
