Industry Outlook

In FY26, the government announced a capital expenditure outlay of over Rs. 11.2 lakh crore, while highway construction and railway modernization projects continue to create demand for heavy engineering equipment and industrial machinery.
India’s capital goods market is projected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 15 percent over the next five years, supported by private capex recovery and the government’s Vision 2030 manufacturing push. Increased localization, higher industrial output, and infrastructure-led economic growth are expected to create strong opportunities for engineering-focused companies in the coming years.
