However, at the end of November 2021, less than half of the budgeted amount was spent. As a report from HDFC Securities pointed out, the difference between the budgeted amount and the actual spending this year has been the highest in the last 4 years. The second wave of the pandemic, and the third one that’s underway right now, may have set back some of the spendings. <div type="image" title="budget capex" height="900" width="1200" msid="88852484" hostid="261"></div>Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that the government would make capital investments worth ₹5.5 lakh crore by March 2022 on roads, metro rail network, renewable energy, and in building other such infrastructure. Such spending results in orders for construction companies like Larson &amp; Toubro, Dilip Buildcon, KNR Construction and IRB Infrastructure Developers, as well as equipment providers like Bharat Electronics, ABB and Honeywell. And, therefore, in better economic growth. These are the shortfalls compared to the budget promise across different sectors: <div type="image" title="sector capex" height="900" width="1200" msid="88852502" hostid="261"></div>A recent report by Crisil said that the central <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/indicators/public-capex-turns-the-corner-central-spending-seen-jumping-12-over-pre-pandemic-level-report/articleshow/88048366.cms?from=mdr">government expenditure on capital investments was up 31% compared to the last financial year</a>, which was also the first year of the pandemic. The same number, when compared to 2019, is higher by 13%. In September last year, the Finance Minister <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/business/spends-lagging-finmin-asks-ministries-to-step-up-capex-7538316/">told ministries to increase the pace of spending</a> to meet the targets. However, October and November continued to be lean months, according to a report by Elara Securities. If the government decides to cover some of the slack in the last three months, it could result in some big orders flowing in. That could explain the recent rally in capital goods stocks. “The lag in the spending for capital goods and infrastructure in FY22 was because of COVID-19 and related spending. This time the spending for these sectors started in October 2021. Even historically, the spending is high in the third and fourth quarter only as giving out tenders and finally giving the order to specific companies takes a lot of time,” said Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities, told Business Insider. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td

capital investments will continue in the upcoming budget too. “Budget 2022 is most likely to focus on improving infrastructure. It might include a detailed list of public roads to railways assets, which the government plans to monetise during FY 2022-23. Reports also suggest that it might especially prioritise highways and expressways,” said a <a href="https://www.bajajfinservmarkets.in/markets-insights/budget/budget-2022.html">report </a>by Bajaj Finserv. “We expect major initiatives to be announced to stimulate capital expenditure both on the private and public side. This has been the thrust of the government since COVID hit the country’s growth. We expect schemes for outlay for development of infrastructure including major spending towards roads, irrigation, healthcare and smart cities,” Anshuman Khanna, Director at Value Prolific Consulting Services (ValPro) told Business Insider.
