India may need a capital investment of Rs 3,000-3,500 lakh crore to achieve its target of $30 trillion economy by 2047. SBI Chairman CS Setty said how much funding is needed for long term growth. He further said that around Rs 600-650 lakh crore will have to be raised for the 'Developed India' mission alone by 2035. He also emphasized that India's funding needs cannot be met through bank financing alone.

Setti said that household savings are now gradually moving away from bank deposits towards mutual funds, insurance and pension products. He stressed that financing the real economy requires a deeper bond market and greater participation of these sectors. India's corporate bond market is still small compared to developed economies, so deep capital markets are critical for the next phase of growth.

India's public capex

Public capex has increased from around Rs 2 lakh crore in FY2015 to Rs 12.2 lakh crore in Budget FY2027, an increase of more than 600%. It has acted as a major catalyst for private investment. Large-scale public investment has “attracted” private capital by reducing uncertainty and increasing the viability of projects.

He further said that India's infrastructure financing model is evolving through institutions such as the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund and the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development, while InvITs and REITs are emerging as key tools for asset monetization and capital recycling. MSME remains the fastest growing sector for bank loans, with many banks registering a growth of more than 20%. As of December 2025, outstanding MSME loans stood at Rs 67 lakh crore, with year-on-year (YoY) growth of 16-18%, although penetration of formal credit is still less than 50%.
