NEW PROJECT STARTS saw a disappointing 22.1% year-on-year fall in the December 2024 quarter, reversing the trend in the September quarter when they had recorded a smart 64% y-o-y increase.
Data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) reveals that the total value of new projects announced in the December quarter was ₹6 lakh crore. This is much smaller than the ₹7.7 lakh crore worth of investments announced in the December 2023 quarter and the ₹7.2 lakh crore worth of projects announced in the September 2024 quarter.
Announcements from both the private sector and the government slowed, belying expectations of a meaningful pick-up in capex. While a host of companies are investing, especially in sectors such as renewable energy, capital goods, the quantum of investments taking place was expected to be bigger.
