February 2025: “The Union Budget 2025-26 underscores the government’s commitment to sustainability, infrastructure development, and inclusive growth. The extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission until 2028, with an enhanced outlay, is a welcome move that will accelerate universal access to clean and safe drinking water. This is also a critical step towards enhancing water security and sustainable water management in rural India. The introduction of urban sector reforms and the Urban Challenge Fund further reinforces the focus on water and sanitation, which will be instrumental in strengthening urban resilience. These initiatives align with our vision of a circular economy, where water efficiency, reuse, and resource optimization are key. Additionally, as India continues its journey towards energy transition and a greener economy, we believe that investments in innovation-led growth will play a pivotal role in driving sustainable solutions. At Grundfos, we remain committed to supporting India’s water and energy infrastructure with cutting-edge, energy-efficient pumping solutions and smart water management technologies. By fostering public-private collaboration and prioritizing sustainable development, this Budget lays a strong foundation for a more resilient, resource-efficient, and water-secure future for India.”
