India’s private capital expenditure surged 67% year-on-year to Rs 7.7 lakh crore in September 2025, signalling a decisive revival in the investment cycle, industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said, urging companies to step up support measures to help the economy navigate the ongoing West Asia crisis. CII’s analysis of nearly 1,200 companies from the CMIE Prowess database showed private sector investment—measured through annual changes in net fixed assets and capital work in progress—rising sharply from Rs 4.6 lakh crore in September 2024 to Rs 7.7 lakh crore a year later.
