Capital spending in most ministries remains below 30 percent as fiscal year enters final stretch

Of Rs407.88 billion allocated for development projects in the current fiscal year, only Rs124.61 billion has been spent in ten months, with delays blamed on post-protest budget freezes and structural bottlenecks.

With about a month and a half left in the fiscal year 2025-26, capital expenditure across several ministries remains weak, highlighting persistent delays in development spending.
