Ahmedabad: Union minister of state at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), Jitendra Singh, said in Ahmedabad on Friday that the Union Budget 2025-26 was a reflection of PM Narendra Modi’s forward-looking vision for India. He was speaking at a press conference at the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI).
Describing the budget as a roadmap for a technologically advanced and self-reliant nation, the minister said a focus on technological innovation and energy independence would not only help achieve energy self-sufficiency but also propel India toward global leadership in advanced nuclear technology by 2047.
Commenting on opening the space sector to private players, Singh expressed confidence that similar reforms in the nuclear sector will accelerate growth and innovation. He noted that the nuclear industry operated under stringent regulations for decades, but recent policy shifts aim to foster greater openness and collaboration.
