Indian Firms Grow Post-Pandemic Amid Declining Investment Share and Execution Challenges
Recent analyses show that the median Indian firm has grown in size across key financial metrics since the Covid-19 pandemic, with increases in capital employed, revenue, profit, and assets from FY2020-21 to FY2023-24. Despite this growth, corporate investment as a share of GDP has declined since 2016, influenced by factors such as expected profitability, investment confidence, and credit costs. Meanwhile, India Inc is experiencing a resurgence in capital expenditure announcements, though project execution faces challenges like land acquisition, approvals, and skilled labor shortages.
