JSW Infrastructure Welcomes Union Budget 2026–27, Highlights Push for Port-Led Logistics and Maritime Growth
Bhubaneswar: Mr Rinkesh Roy, Joint Managing Director and CEO, JSW Infrastructure Ltd, highlighted the company’s perspective on the Union Budget 2026–27, with a focus on port modernisation, inland waterways, coastal shipping, logistics corridors, and sustainability-led maritime development.
He said, “We congratulate the Honourable Finance Minister and the Government of India on a decisive and forward-looking Budget that firmly positions infrastructure as the foundation of India’s growth. The thought-through push towards port modernisation, inland waterways, coastal shipping, and logistics corridors will make India competitive and marks a structural change.
The additional focus on expanding national waterways, strengthening east coast connectivity, container manufacturing, and digitalisation of ports aligns closely with our vision of building integrated, port-led logistics ecosystems. Creating seamless linkages between ports, evacuation infrastructure, and industrial clusters is a must to achieve uninterrupted growth.
Equally encouraging is the emphasis on green ports, sustainability-linked financing, ship repair, and smart-port technologies, which will enhance India’s maritime competitiveness while supporting long-term, sustainable growth. Overall, Budget 2026–27 reinforces India’s ambition to emerge as a global maritime and logistics hub and provides strong momentum to port-led industrial development.”
