💨 Abstract

The Union government's capital expenditure (capex) for the April-November 2024-25 period is 12% lower than the same period in 2023-24, falling short of the targeted growth. The decline is primarily due to a slowdown in infrastructure sectors like roads and defense, while revenue expenditure has been rising. The government will need to address these issues to meet the capex target for the year.
