  "summary": "The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) study reveals that six states, led by Maharashtra and Gujarat, accounted for 67.1% of the total project cost sanctioned by banks and financial institutions in FY26, as private-sector investment intentions strengthened. Maharashtra emerged as the largest destination for projects sanctioned, accounting for Rs 88,880 crore (20.2%) of the total Rs 4.4 lakh crore sanctioned during FY26, overtaking Gujarat which followed with Rs 78,760 crore (17.9%). The aggregate cost of projects sanctioned by select banks and financial institutions rose to Rs 4.4 lakh crore in 2025-26 from Rs 3.7 lakh crore in 2024-25, reflecting sustained investment intentions in the private corporate sector.",
