For renewables, the key growth driver is demand for a sustainable energy transition, driven by the government's target of increasing auctions, which has created a strong pipeline. India saw auctions of 35 GW in fiscal 2024, the highest-ever in a single fiscal, resulting in a strong pipeline of 75 GW.
This will primarily drive the implementation of 50 GW of capacity over the next two fiscals. When it comes to the road sector, the need for improved physical connectivity, which helps in efficiency gains for the economy, has driven healthy awarding over the past few fiscals, barring the last one.
Strengthened order books of road developers, at 2.5 times revenue, will support 11% growth in highway construction, which is seen at 12,500 km per year over the next two fiscals. As for real estate, net leasing of commercial office space will see demand growth of 8–10% in this fiscal year and the next. Cumulatively, Rs 2 lakh crore of equity capital has been deployed in these sectors over the past two fiscals, driven by strong investor participation.
