Telecom, railways, among others, go slow on capex
Departments such as telecom, defence, railways, and highways have experienced lower capital expenditure with telecom spending just 6% of its annual allocation. Total government capex during April-Nov fell to 49% from 59% last year. The slow spending is attributed to milestones tied to funding and recent elections impacting the first quarter.
