India's Private Capital Expenditure Outlook Strengthens Amid Changing Project Challenges
India's private-sector capital expenditure outlook is improving, with new project announcements rising from ₹4 trillion in FY14 to ₹35 trillion in FY26. Despite an 18% increase in project loan sanctions, a strong credit growth cycle driven by private capex has yet to materialize. Governance-related project distress has declined, while market conditions and promoter interest now dominate project challenges. The unlisted corporate sector's weaker financial position is also constraining overall corporate investment, despite improvements in the listed sector.
