Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) anticipate a 10-12% increase in their capital expenditure budget for FY 2026, driven by government plans to reduce stakes. Oil PSUs, including ONGC, HPCL, and BPCL, aim to utilize ₹30,000 cr for LNG distribution and have achieved 54% of their ₹1.32 lakh cr capex target in just seven months. This growth aligns with the Make in India initiative and is expected to enhance dividend payouts significantly.
