Capital goods shine selectively

The S&P BSE Capital Goods index gained 21% in the previous six months on the back of some key developments.

- Ashish Agrawal

Among those-the Union government's capital expenditure spending rose 43% to ₹4.3 trillion in the first five months of 2025-26 (April-August), and defence ministry has outlined 15-year sectoral needs, targeting annual spending of $25-30 billion (₹2.2-2.6 trillion).

Also, strong execution of record-high order books is expected to translate to decent second-quarter (July-September) earnings for some capital goods companies. Improving execution is seen offsetting the adverse impact of lower exports and deferment of new orders due to US tariff-related uncertainties.

Nomura Global Markets Research expects capital goods firms to report 15% year-on-year (yo-y) revenue and Ebitda growth for the second quarter. However, higher prices of some commodities and lower exports could put margins under pressure (exports typically fetch higher margins).

A threadfin stew, and the idea of home

Cynics would say I am rootless. I'd say I am rooted in many places. I've lived in Bengaluru for 26 years, Delhi for 17. Bengaluru is the place I consider home, I speak Kannada passably, and I am deeply attached to the people and the city. Yet, I can't say I truly belong. I never really took to Delhi and its culture, although I speak Hindi decently. Mumbai is always exciting and feels like home for about a week, after which I'd rather go home. My Marathi is good enough to fool the locals for a while, and I like hearing my mother's tales of her life there—it gives me some feeling of closeness.
