Capital expenditure (Capex) by the Central Ministries surged nearly 40% during April-September FY26, totaling over ₹5.80 lakh crore. However, the fiscal deficit grew 20%, reaching over 36% of Budget Estimates due to a shortfall in net tax revenue.
This increase in capex, particularly in infrastructure sectors, may support near-term economic growth and investor sentiment.
