Overall growth in govt capital spending for FY26 seen at 8%
PRASANTA SAHU

THE CENTRE, STATES, and central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) will likely invest around ₹27.5 lakh crore in 2025-26, a sub-10% growth in public capex for the second consecutive year.

This comes after registering 15-16% growth in such asset-creating spending by the government sector between FY22 and FY24, according to an FE analysis based on information gathered from different sources.

The Centre is unlikely to go for a big increase in its budgetary capital expenditure target for the next fiscal year. It may peg the target at around ₹11 lakh crore for the next fiscal, which is the budget estimate (BE) for the current year.

For 2024-25, the Centre had set a capex target of ₹11.11 lakh crore, a 17% increase over ₹9.5 lakh crore achieved in FY24. Officials, however, reckon that actual spending will be around ₹10.2 lakh crore during the year.
