SECTOR ANALYSIS
The Indian government's capex spending has grown steadily at a CAGR of 54.2% between FY21 and FY24. This increase in capex spending has resulted in a higher number of orders for capital goods companies involved in government contracts. As of H1 FY25, the central government had utilized only 37% of its annual capex target. Consequently, a significant portion of capex spending is expected to occur in H2 FY25, indicating strong growth and revenue prospects for ABB India. Additionally, the consistent year-on-year increase in capex spending suggests a promising outlook for companies like ABB India, with potential growth in orders in the future.
