This growth is driven by rising revenues and profits, with S&P projecting India's corporate capital spending to reach approximately $800 billion from fiscal 2026 to fiscal 2030, largely driven by infrastructure investments.
An additional $1 trillion investment is expected from fiscal 2031 to 2035 for advanced research and development, the report noted.
