This is a powerful signal. India’s alternative investment industry, with Rs 13.5 lakh crore in committed capital, exists to back the enterprises that will employ this Yuva Shakti. With the &#34;Reform Express&#34; now targeting &#34;Champion MSMEs,&#34; we believe alternatives can reach mutual fund scale—growing from Rs 13.5 lakh crore to Rs 100 lakh crore within the next decade—serving as the primary engine for Viksit Bharat.Alternatives as Catalysts for Nation BuildingPrivate capital provides the patient equity required for long-cycle business building. As India pursues its Second Kartavya—fulfilling aspirations and building capacity—alternatives have emerged as a critical pillar of capital formation alongside banks. Every PE (private equity or venture capital) or VC-backed firm is a node in a vast ecosystem of job creation and technological leapfrogging.Strategic Signals for Private CapitalThe Rs 10,000 crore SME Growth Fund to “create future champions” aligns perfectly with the private equity thesis: identifying potential and providing the equity fuel to scale. Combined with the Rs 2,000 crore top-up to the Self-Reliant India (SRI) Fund, these government-seeded vehicles can catalyze nearly Rs 60,000 crore in total capital through daughter funds.We also appreciate the establishment of the Infrastructure Risk Guarantee Fund, a vital mechanism to cover lenders and bolster developer confidence during high-risk phases.For exit environments, taxing share buybacks as Capital Gains for all shareholders is a significant structural shift, offering a more predictable framework for capital returns.On capital flows, raising individual investment limits for Persons Resident Outside India (PROI) to 10% and the aggregate limit to 24% is a welcome move. With over $100 billion of annual remittances, this creates a pool of &#34;high conviction capital&#34; acting as a counterweight to volatile global inflows.Click Here To Read All Budget NewsThe Expansive Growth ArchitectureThe budget positions the services sector as a core driver, targeting a 10% global share by 2047. The focus on frontier sectors creates a fertile landscape for Alternatives:Deep Tech &amp; Infrastructure: Reaffirmed commitments to the National Quantum Mission and AI Mission, alongside a tax holiday until 2047 for foreign companies providing cloud services via Indian data centers.IT Services: A 15.5% safe harbor margin and an enhanced threshold of Rs 2,000 crore provide much-needed clarity.Creators &amp; Sports: Establishing Content Creator Labs in 15,000 schools and the Khelo India Mission will drive significant employment and innovation.A Shared VisionWith a fiscal deficit target of 4.3% of GDP for 2026-27 and a commitment to reduce debt to 50±1 percent by 2030-31, the government has provided the macroeconomic stability long-term investors require. This budget affirms that public policy and private capital are moving in lockstep. Scaling alternatives to Rs 100 lakh crore is no longer just an industry milestone—it is a fundamental requirement for nation-building toward 2047.Disclaimer: The views and investment tips expressed by experts on Moneycontrol are their own and not those of the website or its management.
