India's Private Capital Expenditure Pipeline Grows 39% with Rising Concentration Risks
India's private capital expenditure pipeline reached Rs 99.7 lakh crore in September 2026, a 39% year-on-year increase and over four times its 2014 level. Manufacturing and electricity sectors dominate the pipeline, accounting for 74%, while services showed the fastest growth. Maharashtra's share rose significantly to 29%, with the top five states holding 68%. Despite growth, risks include sectoral and regional concentration, larger project sizes, and potential execution delays, posing challenges for lenders, according to a Union Bank of India report.
