Budget 2025: Massive Boost for Manufacturing Industry & Logistics Sector? Key Announcements You Can’t Miss!

Big Boost for Manufacturing, Warehousing & Supply Chains – Key Changes Unveiled!

The Union Budget 2025 introduced key measures to strengthen India’s industrial and logistics sectors, focusing on improving manufacturing, warehousing, and supply chain networks. Initiatives like PM Gati Shakti and Bharat Trade Net aim to enhance infrastructure, attract investments, and reduce logistics costs, supporting programs such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat.

A major highlight was the continued push for Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and the logistics sector. The integration of digital infrastructure through PM Gati Shakti is expected to improve efficiency and increase private sector involvement. Experts predict a rise in industrial leasing, with demand for warehouses and storage facilities potentially reaching 30-40 million sq. ft. across key markets.

The toy and EV industries are among the biggest beneficiaries of the budget. Reduced import dependence and incentives for domestic manufacturing will help position India as a major player in the toy market. Meanwhile, EV manufacturers and battery producers will benefit from increased demand for warehouse and logistics infrastructure to support clean-tech production.

A significant reform in logistics is the transformation of India Post into a large-scale public logistics organization. The integration of 1.5 lakh rural post offices with India Post Payments Bank and a vast network of daak sevaks will improve services for entrepreneurs, MSMEs, and self-help groups, boosting rural economic activity.

Additionally, the government will support the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) to expand lending operations, strengthening the cooperative sector. These measures align with the government’s broader vision of enhancing manufacturing, logistics, and rural connectivity to drive economic growth.
