Jaipur, February 19, 2025.
Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Diya Kumari presented the state budget for 2025-26 on Wednesday, unveiling key initiatives focused on job creation, water supply enhancement, and infrastructure development. According to ANI, Kumari announced significant measures to strengthen the state’s power and agricultural sectors.
The government plans to provide 5 lakh new domestic electricity connections and 5,000 power connections specifically for agricultural use. Additionally, eligible households will receive 150 units of free electricity, and solar panels will be installed in beneficiaries’ homes. These initiatives aim to promote renewable energy adoption and offer greater support to farmers.
The Rajasthan State Budget 2025-26 lays a strong foundation for long-term economic growth by prioritizing infrastructure expansion, energy security, and employment generation. The announcement of nine Greenfield expressways spanning 2,750 km with an investment of ₹60,000 crore is a transformational step that will enhance intra-state and inter-state connectivity, catalyzing industrial and commercial growth. Improved road infrastructure, along with targeted investments in rural roadworks and urban traffic management, will strengthen last-mile connectivity, benefiting logistics, warehousing, and industrial real estate.
The government’s focus on energy security, with surplus power generation and expanded electricity access for households and agriculture, will ensure a reliable supply for industries, manufacturing hubs, and commercial real estate.
Furthermore, initiatives to improve urban infrastructure, such as water supply programs and renewable energy incentives, will make cities more livable and business-friendly. These steps will accelerate Rajasthan’s transformation into a major investment hub, attracting domestic and global investors across key sectors like logistics, manufacturing, and IT-enabled services. The budget’s forward-looking approach will drive long-term economic expansion and position Rajasthan as a critical player in India’s growth story., from Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE
