Our Assessment

high

Public capital expenditure has continued to rise sharply, which the government links to large-scale employment: per the Economic Survey, government capex grew from Rs 3.07 lakh crore (FY19) to Rs 11.21 lakh crore (FY26 BE), with estimated growth multipliers of 2.5-3.5x, supported by PM GatiShakti and the National Logistics Policy. The pledge to continue infrastructure investment for employment growth is clearly being acted on; precise attributable job numbers are harder to isolate. Partial (ongoing).
