Private sector investment is witnessing steady and sustained growth, driven by the government's continued capital expenditure push, Economic Affairs Secretary Anuradha Thakur said on Friday. Quoting a recent analysis, she said it shows that private sector investment, which the CII 2023 survey had indicated green shoots were emerging, now exhibits that private investment is moving at a "steady and stable pace upwards".
