The Budget 2026 reveals a significant slowdown in capital expenditure (capex) growth, dropping to just 0.9% from 36% in FY23. Despite this, total government spending on capex has increased from ₹4.12 lakh crore in 2020-21 to ₹11.21 lakh crore in 2025-26. Experts urge a 7% growth for FY27 to sustain infrastructure development, particularly in roads and railways.
