India is poised to witness a massive infrastructure investment surge, with a projected ₹17.5 trillion set to flow into the renewable energy, roads, and real estate sectors over the next two years, according to a recent report by Crisil.
The credit rating agency attributes this growth to strong policy support, sustained demand, and continued public and private sector participation. These sectors, considered vital for economic expansion and sustainable development, are expected to drive India’s infrastructure momentum through FY26. The renewable energy segment is likely to see the highest traction, driven by the government’s ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Crisil estimates over ₹6.5 trillion in investments will be directed toward solar, wind, and hybrid power projects, supported by production-linked incentives, faster project clearances, and greater private sector involvement.
The road infrastructure sector is projected to attract around ₹6 trillion in the next two years, with the government prioritizing highway development through flagship schemes like Bharatmala and the GatiShakti Master Plan. Robust awarding and execution pipelines, especially in expressways and logistics corridors, are expected to maintain momentum.
Meanwhile, the real estate sector is anticipated to receive over ₹5 trillion in investments, with strong housing demand in urban centers and increasing interest in commercial real estate, warehousing, and data centers. Crisil highlights the sector’s improving regulatory environment and rising interest from institutional investors as key enablers.Overall, this investment wave underscores India’s growing focus on sustainable, connected, and future-ready infrastructure, paving the way for job creation, economic growth, and climate resilience.
