Crisil Projects 45-50% Growth in India's Infrastructure Investments Amid West Asia Conflict

Crisil Ratings projects a 45-50% growth in India's infrastructure investments over the current and next two fiscal years, reaching Rs 23-24 lakh crore. Key sectors include renewables, roads, real estate, data centres, and emerging areas like green hydrogen, supported by strong domestic demand and policy initiatives. While these sectors are largely insulated from direct effects of the West Asia conflict, they may face indirect inflationary pressures if it persists. Challenges such as delays in renewable energy offtake, road project slowdowns, and rising housing inventory remain.
