India's Power Transmission Expansion and Data Centre Demand to Boost Capital Goods Sector
India's expanding power transmission network and growing data centre demand are expected to drive growth in the engineering and capital goods sector, with High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technology playing a key role. The HVDC capacity is projected to rise from 34.5 GW in FY27 to 55 GW by FY32, with additional pipeline capacity planned. While renewable energy integration and grid modernization support this growth, challenges such as project delays, higher input costs, and uncertainties in AI infrastructure investment may affect progress.
