A government survey projects a 25% decrease in private sector capital expenditure to Rs 4.88 lakh crore in FY26 from Rs 6.56 lakh crore in FY25. The survey, however, notes an overall increase of 23.9% from 2021-22 to 2025-26. The data reflects a cautious approach by enterprises in reporting their capital expenditure plans, suggesting the figures should be interpreted with caution.
