91 Per Cent of Centre’s FY25 Investments Target Five Core Sectors: BoB Report

About ninety-one per cent of the central government’s Rs 6.8 trillion investment in financial year 2024–25 has been directed towards five key sectors, according to a research report by Bank of Baroda.

The report identifies the top sectors as renewable electricity, road transport, refineries, conventional electricity, and shipping. Renewable power alone accounts for thirty-seven per cent of total investments, with Rs 2.7 trillion allocated to generate 12,555 megawatts of energy.

Refinery projects are set to receive Rs one trillion, targeting 600 megawatts of output, while conventional electricity is expected to attract Rs 993.76 billion. This includes a Rs 800 billion project in Bihar, along with smaller developments in Odisha and Chhattisgarh. In the shipping sector, Gujarat is the primary beneficiary with projects worth Rs 587.5 billion out of a total Rs 621.2 billion. Other states like Assam, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu will also see new port-related infrastructure.

Only nine per cent of investments are directed towards other sectors such as housing, railways, education, healthcare, and chemicals. Chhattisgarh leads state-wise investment with Rs 1.4 trillion, followed by Odisha with Rs 800 billion.
