Corporate houses in the city seem to have lapped up the Union Budget 2025. Harshavardhan Neotia, chairman Ambuja Neotia Group, for instance, said: "The budget proposals of finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has provided the vision of a new India story, with a governance that is light touch and trusting, a regulatory regime that is encouraging for industry and policies that are focused on job creation. The incentives for hotels, travel and tourism are really encouraging as it helps building hotels in key 50 destinations and allows benefits on funding from the infrastructure HML. Overall I see a growth and consumption oriented budget."

Alok Garodia, MD, Jupiter International, said: "Today's Budget reinforces the government's commitment to sustainable growth and clean technology manufacturing, with a decisive push for self-reliance in renewable energy through a new clean tech mission under Make in India. This initiative will be instrumental in building a strong domestic ecosystem for solar manufacturing."
