India is seeing a strategic shift in state government budgets toward capital expenditure to foster long-term economic growth. For FY27, capital outlay across 19 states is projected to grow by 16.4 per cent, outpacing revenue expenditure growth. This investment focuses on infrastructure such as power, irrigation, and transport networks to support business expansion.

In the Delhi-NCR region, infrastructure development is transforming major corridors like the Dwarka and Yamuna Expressways into economic ecosystems, supported by the upcoming Noida International Airport and the rise of Global Capability Centres. 

Specific urban projects in Delhi include the construction of a new 11-storey headquarters for the Delhi Transport Corporation at the IP Estate Bus Depot, estimated to cost approximately Rs 128.23 crore. Additionally, the Centre has approved a Rs 1,789.52 crore Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS). This system will utilize adaptive technology across 42 corridors to manage congestion, prioritize emergency vehicles, and automate traffic violation enforcement.
