The country’s economic resilience can be attributed to the government’s sharp focus on capital expenditure, relying on the assumption that higher public investment in infrastructure projects will unleash significant economic benefits. This, coupled with the spending power of Indian households, is expected to play a pivotal role in steering not only India but also the global economy through the current challenging times.
