Private Sector Investments Surge, Government Investments Decline

The private sector in India is making more investment announcements than the government.

In the first quarter of this year, the private sector accounted for 87% of new investment announcements, the highest in many years.

Overall investment went up, but that's partly because last year was slow.

The government is investing less, while the private sector's investments grew significantly, though it's coming off a low point.

More projects were also completed during this time.
