India’s Private Sector Capital Expenditure Increased to ₹7.7 lakh crore in September 2025, compared with ₹4.6 lakh crore in the year-ago period, according to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
The industry body said the 67% increase was based on an assessment of nearly 1,200 companies from the CMIE Prowess database. The calculation included annual changes in net fixed assets and capital work in progress.
Manufacturing accounted for ₹3.8 lakh crore of the overall private investment recorded during the period. Sectors such as metals, automobiles, and chemicals saw higher spending on expansion and ongoing projects.
Services contributed around ₹3.1 lakh crore, or about 40% of total private capex. Trading firms, communication companies, and IT and ITeS businesses were among the larger contributors in the segment.
CII said the latest numbers show continued investment activity across sectors during FY26.
Manufacturing capacity utilisation rose to 75.6% in the third quarter of FY26 from 74.3% in the previous quarter, according to the industry body.
New order books grew 10.3% year-on-year during the same period. Bank credit growth also improved in the second half of the financial year.
CII said lending growth averaged close to 14% in the second half of FY26, compared with around 10% during the first half.
Alongside the investment data, CII released a 5-point agenda linked to global supply concerns and the ongoing situation in West Asia.
The industry body recommended a phased withdrawal of the ₹10 per litre central excise duty reduction on petrol and diesel over 6 to 9 months if crude oil prices stabilise.
CII also suggested that larger companies adopt a voluntary 45-day payment cycle for MSMEs using the TReDS platform and supply-chain financing mechanisms.
Other proposals included reducing fuel and power consumption by 3 to 5% over the next 2 quarters and increasing domestic sourcing of components, capital goods and specialty chemicals to reduce supply disruptions.
CII’s latest data showed higher private investment activity across manufacturing and services during FY26. The industry body also outlined measures related to fuel taxes, MSME payments, and supply-chain amid global uncertainty.
