India's Capital Expenditure Shows Mixed Growth in First Half of FY27
India's capital expenditure showed mixed trends in the first half of FY27. Central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) achieved 51% of their annual capex target with a 12% year-on-year increase, led by railways and highways. Private sector investment intentions surged 34.7%, driven mainly by IT and power sectors. However, central government capex fell 30% in August but remains ahead year-to-date, requiring 12% growth in the remaining months to meet budget targets. Road and rail spending showed monthly declines but remain higher year-to-date.
