MUMBAI — Over the past five years, New Delhi has doubled its public investment to construct key infrastructure, including semiconductor plants, highways, and high-speed rail networks.

This rapid acceleration in public works spending is aimed at meeting surging national demand. Alongside robust personal consumption, these government expenditures are actively propelling the real economy forward, contributing to a rapid 7.7% growth rate projected for fiscal 2025. Visual evidence of this development can be seen in Mumbai, where a new high-speed rail station is currently under construction, as recently documented in photographs by Takanori Okabe.
