Budget 2025 may see a 15-20% increase in capital expenditure (capex) allocation for Indian Railways, aimed at enhancing infrastructure and improving passenger and freight services. Compared to the current fiscal’s ₹2.65 lakh crore allocation, the upcoming financial year could witness allocations exceeding ₹3 lakh crore.
This substantial increase is significant as the current fiscal’s budget is expected to be fully utilized on time. The additional funds will accelerate projects like modern technology adoption, high-speed train initiatives, and logistics network expansion.
Experts believe this increased investment will boost the country’s transport capacity and provide a major economic stimulus.
