With GDP growth slipping, the government has ramped up public spending. In order to further boost it, it has asked public sector majors such as NTPC, Indian Oil, NHPC and ONGC to aggressively push their growth plans in the remaining two quarters of the fiscal.
As per official figures, petroleum and natural gas (P&NG) major ONGC has a capex plan of Rs 32,921 crore for FY20. Its capex till August 2019 was Rs 8,777 crore which was 26.66 per cent of the total planned capex.
Indian Oil Corporation has a capex plan of Rs 25,083 crore of which Rs 8,173 crore (32 per cent) has been spent. Power PSU NTPC has made a capex of Rs 8,490 crore (42 per cent) out of a plan of Rs 20,000 crore.
In their meeting with Finance Minister Sitharaman, the CPSEs had projected their investment at about Rs 50,000 crore in the next quarter.
