Dairy companies are likely to witness 11-13 per cent revenue growth this financial year on strong demand, increasing share of value-added products (VAP) and higher milk prices, a report said on Monday. The profitability will improve by 20-30 basis points (bps), aided by better realisations, healthy milk supply keeping procurement prices in check and a favourable shift towards VAP, which fetches higher margins, Crisil Ratings said in a report. The rating agency further stated that to capitalise on the healthy growth momentum, companies will ramp up capital expenditure (capex) by 10 per cent this fiscal. A sizable portion of this capex will be to enhance capacities for VAP, a segment that continues to outpace the traditional liquid milk category, it added. Despite the higher capex, credit profiles of dairy companies are expected to remain stable because of improving cash flows and strong balance sheets, the report said. "The VAP segment is expected to clock a strong 16-18 per cent .

Capital expenditure (capex) of small private airports is expected to rise 50-60 per cent on an average over the next three years on the back of capacity expansion on account of substantial increase in terminal utilisation levels, ratings agency Crisil said on Monday. On the other hand, capex at large private airports will see a decline during the same period as much of the capacity expansion has been completed or is nearing completion, it said. However, the overall capex of private airports will slightly slow down by 10-15 per cent to about Rs 40,000 crore over the next three years, as per the ratings agency. Crisil said its analysis is based on the capex of 11 operating private airports and two soon-to-be-operational private airports, which together account for more than 95 per cent of India's private airport passenger traffic. For this study, small private airports were classified as those with capacity of less than 20 million passengers per annum and located in Ahmedabad, ...

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Tuesday said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave a "tortuous" explanation to his question about capital expenditure and asserted that the numbers "conclusively" proved that there was a "cut" in capex during 2024-25. Chidambaram said this in a statement late this evening while responding to the answers given by Sitharaman in the Rajya Sabha. The former finance minister said Sitharaman has given a "laboured and tortuous" explanation to a simple question on what was the budget estimate for capital expenditure in the 2024-25 budget and what is the estimate at the end of year. "There is a reduction (cut), and I asked in the Rajya Sabha what are the reasons for the cut? FM could have listed the reasons and it is for the people to decide whether the reasons are acceptable or not. "Instead, she has questioned the very comparison of BE and RE. I am astonished that the Hon'ble FM should say that comparison of BE and RE is 'flawed'. If BE and RE ar

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said the capital expenditure has not been cut, but has gone up to Rs 11.21 lakh crore for 2025-26 fiscal, and there has been proportional increase in loans given to states for capital expenditure for the same year. Replying during the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha, Sitharaman said the capital expenditure was at Rs 11.11 lakh crore in 2024-25. "Actually, (in) the budget this year..., it has gone up to Rs 11.21 lakh crore. So, the capital expenditure has not been cut at all," she said. Loans to states under the scheme for interest-free 50-year special assistance for capital expenditure has gone up proportionately. "So, cutting down the capital expenditure is not the case with us," she added. Sitharaman was responding to a question by senior Congress leader and former finance minister P Chidambaram. Chidambaram sought to know the reason for reduction in the capital expenditure for FY25 in the revised budget estimate to Rs 10,18,429 crore
