India's Private Capital Expenditure Declines After FY23 Peak, Growth Remains Subdued
Private capital expenditure in India peaked at ₹260 crore per enterprise in FY23 but declined to ₹160 crore in FY26, with no expected improvement in FY27, according to Systematix Institutional Equities. Despite government efforts including infrastructure spending, production-linked incentives, and FDI liberalisation, private investment remains subdued. Sectors like agriculture and retail show stagnant capex, while non-conventional energy and automation exhibit growth. The post-pandemic private investment surge is viewed as a cyclical rebound rather than a sustained upcycle.
