W Asia conflict to end in 2 mths, India capex to push growth: Sajjan Jindal

The impact of the Middle East conflict will not last more than two months, and India's growth story will continue with a lot of capital expenditure by industries, chairman of JSW Group Sajjan Jindal said on Saturday. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of IIM Nagpur's tenth convocation, where he was the chief guest, he said industries focus on long-term plans. He responded to questions about his expectations for capex in 2026-27, and whether he sees sufficient demand that will encourage companies to invest due to the ongoing war involving the US, Israel and Iran. The Middle East conflict is little of a setback for India's industrial growth, he said. "However, everybody understands that this is temporary. It can get over in a week's time or a month's time, or in two months at the most," he said. The business leader said industries plan for the very long term, spanning 20, 25 or even 50 years. "So, India's growth journey will continue. A lot of capital expenditure is being made by

Govt to continue with budgeted capex due to global uncertainties: Official

The government is committed to the budgeted Rs 12.22 lakh crore capital expenditure in the current fiscal despite the fiscal stress arising from the ongoing West Asia crisis, a senior official said on Friday. Expenditure Secretary V Vualnam said the upcoming few months, the next quarter and the year ahead would be very difficult to envisage with lots of possible stress points. " So the fiscal stress is indeed very much a reality, but at the same time the priority sectors... the CAPEX would really be a priority item which we would like to preserve and ensure that it continues at the budgeted level," Vualnam said at the ICPP Growth Conference organised by the Ashoka University. He said highways, railways, shipping, ports, and urban development sectors would be the focus areas for FY'27 capex.
