Centre to Review Capex Strategy, Explore New Sectors
The government has a lot of money to spend on projects, called capital expenditure.
They're looking at how they're spending it to make sure it's used well and helps the economy grow.
They might start focusing on new areas like building ships and improving cities.
Some people are worried that spending might slow down a bit, so the government wants to keep investing to keep the economy going strong.
They also hope that private companies will start spending more money soon.
The Centre plans to review its capital expenditure (capex) strategy.
The government aims to ensure optimal fund spending and boost domestic growth.
Focus may expand to sectors like shipbuilding, ports, and urban infrastructure.
Concerns exist about a potential slowdown in public capex after a strong start.
The Centre will continue capital investments to maintain economic growth.
