So why are Indian corporate houses that choose to do that?

Weak domestic consumption in urban areas, the muffled consumption of exports and inflows of cheap imports in some sectors were among the factors that have “limited the plans to expand the capacity of Indian corporate houses,” Icra Kvichandran’s chief evaluation officer said.

But beyond the immediate reasons, private impulse investment is low due to “global insecurity and cutting”, the Indian economic research pointed out earlier this year.

The slowdown in private investments have a direct impact on the prospects for growth in India.
