The government's capital expenditure for the fiscal ending March 31, 2025, has been retained at Rs 11.11 lakh crore, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her budget speech on Tuesday.
That is 3.4% of the GDP.
That compares with a revised target of Rs 9.4 lakh crore, or 3.3% of GDP, in FY24.
