Private sector capex jumps 67% to ₹7.7 lakh crore in September: CII

New Delhi: India’s private sector capital expenditure grew 67% to ₹7.7 lakh crore in September 2025 compared to September 2024, according to data sourced by the Confederation of Indian Industry.

The surge comes even as Finance Ministry officials have publicly lamented that the private sector is not investing enough.

Amid the ongoing West Asia crisis, CII also urged Indian industry to support the economy by cutting fuel usage over the next two quarters, providing MSMEs a payment guarantee, and front-loading their capital investment plans for the current financial year.

The industry body said these steps would help cushion the economy against external shocks.
