Capital Outlay Surges In Top-15 States

Mumbai: The capital outlay of the country’s top-15 States for FY26 is projected to rebound by 18 per cent (year-on-year) to Rs7.2 lakh crore, driven by a post-election boost in capital spending, execution of infrastructure projects and continued allocation of Rs1.50 lakh crore to States through interest-free capex loans in the Union Budget 2025-26, according to a report released on Wednesday.
