FY27 Capex Set To Rise: Govt Eyes Bigger Infra Push Beyond Roads, Railways

The Centre is likely to scale up its capital expenditure in FY27, with spending expected to rise by 10–12%, according to sources. While roads and railways will remain key beneficiaries, higher allocations are also seen for urban infrastructure, ports and renewable energy. Government capex is expected to continue driving economic growth, with a pickup in private investment as consumption improves.
