Capital expenditure in Sudurpaschim Province has dropped significantly, reaching only Rs 430.1 million in the first five months of fiscal year 2025/26. This represents just 2 percent of the province’s Rs 19.83 billion capital budget, down from 7 percent during the same period last year. Spending delays followed damage to ministry offices and documents during the Gen Z protests, which disrupted budget approvals. Although infrastructure tenders are now underway, total provincial expenditure stands at only Rs 2.536 billion.
