Government Infrastructure Investments to Boost Growth into FY 2026

The Union government’s increased investments in infrastructure across key sectors such as railways, defence, power, and data centres are poised to drive economic growth into FY 2026 and beyond, according to a recent report by financial services firm Prabhudas Lilladher (PL). The government’s accelerated capital expenditure (capex) initiatives are expected to play a significant role in spurring economic revival and sustaining growth momentum.

The report highlights that the total capital expenditure for FY25 was budgeted at Rs 11.1 trillion, indicating the government’s commitment to infrastructure development. As these projects begin to take shape, the report suggests that sectors such as railways, defence, power, and data centres are already seeing increased order activity, signalling a potential for faster project execution. This surge in infrastructure investments is seen as a catalyst for broader economic recovery, which is expected to gain traction in FY 2026 and beyond. With food inflation having peaked at 10.9% in October 2024, the government’s push to accelerate infrastructure spending is seen as a positive step towards stabilising the economy. “We are already witnessing an uptick in ordering momentum in railways, defence, power, and data centres. The execution of these projects will significantly contribute to growth in FY26 and beyond,” the report states.

The upcoming Union Budget is expected to play a pivotal role in supporting this recovery, with a focus on growth-driven measures aimed at boosting middle-class spending while maintaining fiscal discipline. Although revenue collection may fall short of targets, the government’s efforts to stimulate demand through infrastructure investments are likely to provide the necessary push for long-term growth. The report also notes that the evolving economic landscape offers promising opportunities for investors, particularly in sectors benefiting from India’s capital expenditure boom. Key growth areas include capital goods, infrastructure, emerging technologies, healthcare, tourism, discretionary consumption, and financialization.

According to PL, some of the most attractive long-term investment themes include:

  1. India Capex Story: Capital goods, infrastructure, ports, emerging energy sectors, data centres, railways, and defence.
  2. Healthcare: Hospitals and pharmaceuticals.
  3. Tourism: Aviation, hotels, and travel accessories.
  4. Discretionary Consumption: E-commerce, jewellery, food services, and retail.
  5. Financialization: Capital market entities and digital public infrastructure.

As the government continues to ramp up its infrastructure spending, these sectors are expected to play a significant role in India’s recovery and long-term growth trajectory. By prioritising infrastructure development, the government is not only addressing immediate economic needs but also setting the stage for sustained economic prosperity in the years to come.
