“The government’s push for Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure, including a 3-year pipeline of state projects and ₹1.5 lakh crore for 50-year interest-free loans, creates strong opportunities for urban development, better infrastructure, and mobility innovations. The further push in EV manufacturing will accelerate growth in multimodal transport, clean energy, and digital infrastructure, helping to accelerate the shift to cleaner, more efficient transport networks. At Chartered Speed, we see significant potential to scale EV adoption and multimodal transport solutions through PPPs and sustainable transit initiatives. Additionally, the proposed no-income-tax slab for earnings up to ₹12 lakh will boost consumption and overall liquidity in the economy, boasting travel spends.”
