India Faces Structural Challenges in Reviving Private Sector Investment

India's government has implemented various measures, including tax cuts, bank clean-ups, and increased infrastructure spending, to revive private sector investment. Despite rising corporate profits and improved financial health of companies, private capital expenditure remains low. Experts attribute this to structural issues such as business uncertainty, unpredictable policies, and regulatory concerns, which deter investment despite strong economic growth and consumer demand. Both domestic and foreign investors exhibit caution amid these challenges.
