The Capex Conundrum
BW Businessworld
|October 04, 2025
INDIA’S GROWTH STORY has found new legs - some say borrowed from public investment, others say fuelled by a recovering appetite for consumption. Either way, the numbers look juicy.
Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) has bounced back to its pre-pandemic mojo, averaging 6.7 per cent in the period between FY 2023 and FY2025, thanks to rural demand recovery, GST tweaks and inflation behaving less like a villain. Meanwhile, Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF) is flexing at 8.1 per cent, above its pre-pandemic average of 7.4 per cent, largely because the government has been splurging on highways, pipelines, and

ECONOMY'S HIDDEN HAND: STREET IS BOOMING BUT THE BOARDROOM IS NOT
EIGHT-POINT-TWO per cent. India's economy has rarely looked stronger: growth is among the quickest anywhere, quarterly numbers keep beating expectations, and the India-decade narrative grows louder. Yet inside corporate boardrooms, the soundtrack is different. On earnings calls, optimism is muted and demand signals remain uneven. The GDP is sprinting, but the consumer is not, an FMCG chief quipped. The contradiction is stark: national output surges while corporate India clears its throat.

DECODING THE CAPITAL MARKETS
AS WE STEP INTO 2026, the moment seems opportune to pause, reflect and take stock of one of the most animated corners of India's capital markets - the initial public offering (IPO) space. In this issue, we examine the forces shaping the primary markets, the lessons investors are learning the hard way and the questions that will determine how capital is raised. By any measure, 2025 was a blockbuster year for India's primary markets. More than 100 IPOs hit the bourses, together raising over Rs 1.7 lakh crore. From marquee, brand-led mainboard issues to a surge in SME listings, the pipeline barely paused. Strong domestic liquidity, record retail participation and a steady mutual fund bid ensured that most offerings sail through the subscription phase, often with eye-catching demand multiples. On the surface, it appeared to be a golden period for entrepreneurship and raising capital.

Al Ambition to Accountable Execution
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY'S (IT'S) 2026 inflection point in India will be less about chasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) hype and more about proving industrial-scale execution. The conversation has clearly moved beyond pilots to production, forcing companies to confront uncomfortable truths around cost discipline, governance and talent depth. Outcome-based pricing, platformised delivery and deeper hyperscaler partnerships point to a maturing services model, but they also raise the stakes. Vendors can no longer hide behind effort metrics when value is under scrutiny.

Escaping Data Caves
DEEP INSIDE THE underground water systems of Oman's Al Hoota Cave, lives nature's fascinating oddity, the Oman Garra cave fish - a fish that's blind and has no colour. Since their eyes are completely covered with eyelids, they make their way around obstacles in the cave by puckering their mouth and creating short bursts of suction. The Oman Garra cave fish evolved thus to survive in pitch-dark caves with little oxygen.

TEN YEARS AFTER PARIS AGREEMENT: India's Trillion-Dollar Balancing Act
A DECADE AFTER the Paris Agreement was adopted, climate ambition has reached its ‘test decade’. It began in 2015 as an international accord to rein in emissions, has turned into a restructuring of economies. The discourse has changed from temperature goals to just transition plans, from accounting for emissions to allocating capital. India, which was one day making the case for carbon space, is now designing the very architecture of low-carbon growth. Energy transition has become the country’s second economic reform.
