As of January 5, the central government has disbursed over ₹83,595 crore, representing 56% of the ₹1.50 lakh crore allocated for capital investment loans in FY26. Officials are confident of full utilization before the fiscal year ends, with the Finance Minister personally monitoring progress. The Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) provides 50-year interest-free loans to states, with portions tied to reforms and the rest untied for project flexibility.
