The Union Budget 2026 signals a strong long-term push for green mobility and clean energy, focusing on manufacturing, critical minerals, and supply chains rather than direct consumer incentives. While there were no major sops for car and bike buyers, the budget outlines key measures such as phased blending of compressed biogas in CNG and PNG, tax relief for EV battery manufacturing, and customs duty exemptions on critical minerals-steps aimed at reshaping India's auto and EV ecosystem.
