THE CENTRAL Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and other central agencies, notably the railways and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), demonstrated a significant uptick in capital expenditure during the first half of 2025-26, with September itself recording a remarkable 60% growth.
Total capex for September 2025 reached %1.13 lakh crore, up from 70,726 crore in the year-ago period, reflecting a robust push towards infrastructure development. This growth contrasts with earlier months’ volatility, including a 23% dip in July, highlighting a strong recovery and strategic focus on project execution in September 2025 (see chart).
