India Ratings doesn’t expect significant improvement in investment demand in FY18 citing weak capacity utilisation of manufacturing sectors and high debt as a constraint in private sector investment . While the government’s investments grew at a CAGR of 11.6% during 2011-¬12 to 2015¬-16 due to a capex push, the setback to investment growth came from the household sector whose investments contracted 2.2% in the period. “It is unlikely that investment will revive…Reviving investment cycle with government capital expenditure alone will not be of help,” Sinha added. Real estate, ownership of dwelling and professional services, and manufacturing together accounted 44.3% of the total investments in the economy.
