Commenting on the Union Budget 2026–27, Mr. Navneet Munot, MD & CEO, HDFC AMC, explains: “Amidst heightened geopolitical volatility, the Union Budget offers a reassuring sense of direction, continuity and policy credibility. The glide path towards a lower debt-to-GDP ratio, alongside sustained emphasis on infrastructure creation—digital, physical and social—augur well for preserving India’s growth momentum over the medium to long term.
With the event now behind us, market attention will shift to incremental macroeconomic cues, corporate earnings and flow dynamics. From a long-term investor perspective, policy consistency, prudence in numbers and persistence in reforms remain the important anchors for value creation.”
