From converting opportunities into outcomes to scaling capabilities with purpose, FY25–26 reaffirmed the Companys agility, execution strength and ability to deliver consistent, sustainable growth in a dynamic business environment.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
FY25–26 unfolded against a global economic backdrop that was more stable than the preceding years, yet remained characterised by persistent uncertainty and structural transformation. Global growth moderated to around 3.1%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as geopolitical tensions, trade fragmentation, supply-chain diversification and climate-related disruptions continued to influence investment and policy decisions. While inflationary pressures eased across several economies, downside risks persisted, prompting governments to prioritise resilient infrastructure, energy transition, digital connectivity and logistics modernisation as critical drivers of long-term competitiveness.
The Asia-Pacific region continued to outperform many other parts of the world, although softer external demand and heightened trade uncertainties reinforced the need for domestic investment-led growth. Consequently, public infrastructure spending remained central to economic policy, creating sustained opportunities across rail transport, urban mobility, multimodal logistics and integrated infrastructure planning.
India continued to distinguish itself as one of the worlds fastest growing major economies. According to the Economic Survey 2025–26, real GDP growth is estimated at 7.4% for FY25–26, underpinned by resilient domestic demand, robust public investment and strengthening private consumption. The countrys macroeconomic resilience has been further supported by stable inflation, healthy banking and corporate balance sheets and sustained progress in structural reforms.
Infrastructure remains the cornerstone of Indias long-term development strategy. The Union Government maintained a strong capital expenditure programme with a Budget allocation of C11.21 lakh crore for FY26, representing nearly a fourfold increase over FY18 levels. Including grants to states, effective capital expenditure is estimated at C15.48 lakh crore, underscoring the Governments continued emphasis on creating high-quality infrastructure assets. Fiscal consolidation also remained on track, with the fiscal deficit budgeted at 4.4% of GDP, while the Centres debt-to-GDP ratio declined to 55.7% in FY25, reflecting a calibrated approach to sustaining growth alongside macroeconomic stability.
For the transport infrastructure ecosystem, these structural trends translate into sustained demand for engineering consultancy, project management, design, supervision and integrated execution services. Increasing emphasis on digital engineering, lifecycle asset management, sustainability and technology-enabled delivery is also redefining client expectations and expanding the scope for value-added infrastructure solutions.
India-specific Outlook
India continues to reinforce its position as one of the worlds fastest growing major economies, underpinned by resilient domestic demand, sustained public investment, a stable macroeconomic environment and an ongoing programme of structural reforms. The country closed FY26 with a solid 7.7% GDP growth, and the Economic Survey 2025–26 projected real GDP growth of 6.8%–7.2% for FY2026–27, reflecting confidence in the countrys strong economic fundamentals and its ability to sustain growth amid an evolving global environment.
Infrastructure remains at the core of Indias development agenda, with the Government continuing to prioritise capital expenditure as a key driver of economic expansion. Flagship initiatives such as PM Gati Shakti, the National Logistics Policy, Dedicated Freight Corridors, Bharatmala, Sagarmala and railway modernisation programmes are accelerating the creation of integrated, multimodal transport networks while improving logistics efficiency, regional connectivity and ease of doing business. At the same time, increasing investments in urban infrastructure, industrial corridors, renewable energy and digital public infrastructure are strengthening the foundation for long-term, inclusive growth.
The policy focus on asset monetisation, public-private partnerships and technology-enabled project monitoring is expected to further enhance execution efficiency and mobilise private capital into infrastructure development. Continued investments across railways, metro systems, highways, ports, airports and logistics infrastructure are likely to support employment generation, improve supply chain resilience and enhance Indias global competitiveness. Backed by prudent fiscal management, an expanding manufacturing base and sustained reforms aimed at improving productivity and investment, India remains well positioned to maintain its growth momentum and emerge as a leading global infrastructure and economic powerhouse.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The global transport infrastructure sector continued to strengthen its strategic importance during FY25–26 as governments increasingly viewed infrastructure as a catalyst for economic growth, trade competitiveness, climate resilience and long-term sustainable development. Amid evolving geopolitical dynamics, supply chain diversification and rapid technological advancements, investment priorities shifted towards creating integrated, resilient and future-ready transport networks capable of supporting expanding economies and changing mobility patterns.
According to the Global Infrastructure Outlook, global infrastructure investment requirements are projected to exceed US$94 trillion by 2040, underscoring the scale of investment needed to sustain economic growth and improve connectivity across developed and emerging economies. Transport infrastructure is expected to account for a significant share of this investment as countries continue to modernise existing assets while expanding capacity to meet growing passenger and freight demand.
Across the Asia-Pacific region, transport infrastructure remained central to national development strategies. Governments continued to invest in railways, metro systems, highways, ports, airports and multimodal logistics infrastructure to support urbanisation, industrialisation and regional trade. Increasing emphasis was also placed on integrated infrastructure planning, digital project management, intelligent transport systems and sustainable mobility solutions to improve efficiency and optimise long-term asset performance.
Africa continued to advance its infrastructure agenda through regional integration initiatives under the African Unions Agenda 2063 and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Major programmes, including the Trans-African Highway Network, the LAPSSET Corridor (Lamu Port–South Sudan–Ethiopia Transport Corridor) and the proposed Continental High-Speed Rail Network, continue to strengthen regional connectivity, facilitate cross-border trade and support long-term economic integration across the continent. Apart from the trans African connectivity, many of the African nations are also independently working towards expanding their transportation network either through rail, road and ship to ship-out the extracted vast metal and mineral resources.
In Latin America, governments maintained their focus on upgrading transport infrastructure to improve logistics efficiency, urban mobility and international trade competitiveness. Investments in freight rail, urban transit systems, ports and airports continued across several economies, supported by policy reforms and increasing participation of the private sector in infrastructure development.
Sustainability and digital transformation continued to reshape the global transport infrastructure landscape. Governments and infrastructure agencies increasingly incorporated low-carbon mobility solutions, electrified transport systems, climate-resilient infrastructure, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data-driven asset management into infrastructure planning and execution. These technologies are improving project planning, operational efficiency and lifecycle management while supporting environmental objectives.
Indias transport infrastructure sector maintained strong momentum during FY25–26, driven by sustained public capital expenditure and continued policy support for integrated infrastructure development. The Union Budget 2026–27 allocated C2.65 lakh crore towards capital expenditure for Indian Railways, reinforcing the Governments commitment to network expansion, capacity augmentation, safety enhancement and modernisation. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways received an allocation of C2.87 lakh crore, supporting continued expansion of the national highway network and improved road connectivity across the country.
Flagship programmes such as PM Gati Shakti, the National Logistics Policy, Bharatmala Pariyojana, Sagarmala Programme, Dedicated Freight Corridors and the continued expansion of metro rail systems are strengthening multimodal connectivity and improving logistics efficiency across the country. Complemented by investments in airports, ports, inland waterways, industrial corridors and multimodal logistics parks, these initiatives are laying the foundation for a more integrated and efficient transport ecosystem.
Looking ahead, the transport infrastructure sector is expected to remain a key pillar of global economic development. Growing urbanisation, expanding trade, increasing demand for sustainable mobility, digital transformation and the need for resilient infrastructure are expected to continue shaping investment priorities across regions. As governments accelerate the creation of integrated transport networks and modern logistics systems, the sector is poised to play an increasingly important role in enabling economic growth, enhancing connectivity and supporting sustainable development.
