Vinay Jaising says: Capex investments have grown 5.6x in the last decade and now account for 3.3% of the GDP (not including PSU spend or state spend). In absolute terms, we expect over 30% growth YoY in capex expenditure by the government. Rural investments, which were a bit lower in the last two years, should get a fillip as well in both the budgets of at least 10% YoY.
