New Delhi, March 28, 2025 — The Indian government’s capital expenditure (capex) priorities are shifting from roads to sectors like water, sanitation, and digital infrastructure, according to a report by Elara Capital. The move aims to enhance urban and rural development, improve public health, and boost digital connectivity across the country.
The report highlights increased budget allocations for water supply projects, sewage treatment, and high-speed internet expansion. Analysts suggest this shift will drive long-term economic growth by addressing critical infrastructure needs beyond traditional transportation projects.
