CapEx is a unique database on new and ongoing investment activities in India. These are investments into capacities being created by setting up new plant and machinery. It also includes investments into utilities and services such as retail, entertainment, etc. CapEx monitors all such investment projects. A project becomes a part of the CapEx database from the time it is announced and through its commissioning (or abandoning). The CapEx service thus provides a continuous update on the progress in implementation of the various investment projects.

The CapEx database covers investment projects in

• Mining
• Manufacturing
• Electricity
• Infrastructure
• Services Sectors

Generally, CapEx covers over 15,500 projects at any point in time. And, the order of magnitude of the investments envisaged in these projects add up to about Rs.104,77,200 crore. The precise numbers keep changing as new projects get added and the ones that got commissioned get excluded.

The CapEx service is thus, an invaluable source to find prospects for new business. Financial intermediaries, suppliers of capital goods and a host of others have gained enormously from the CapEx service.

CapEx has also created snapshots of the investment situation every quarter since 1995. The resultant time-series provides a useful barometer of the trends in investments in India. This has become a valuable indicator for researchers and policy makers. CapEx highlights the distribution of overall investments by industry, region and ownership.
