India's Infrastructure Spending Surges Fivefold Since 2014

The Indian government has significantly increased its spending on infrastructure since 2014.

The total spending from 2014 to 2026 is nearly ₹91 trillion, which is more than five times the amount spent from 2004 to 2014.

This includes both direct spending by the central government and grants given to states for projects like building schools and houses.

The government believes this spending helps the economy grow by improving roads, railways, and other infrastructure, which creates jobs and makes it easier for businesses to operate.

However, some experts say that while the spending is good, the government needs to make sure the projects are completed efficiently to get the best results.

The government plans to continue this focus on infrastructure spending in the future.
