Infrastructure Sector: Laying
the foundations of New India
 
 

  Banner  

  In a bid to accomplish the vision of a USD 5 Tn economy by 2025, the Government of India is augmenting infrastructure development in the country. Nearly all of the infrastructure sectors present excellent opportunities, with roads and highways, ports and airports, railways and power standing out as particularly bright spots. All of these activities have had a positive catalytic effect on the economy in terms of growth, employment and investments.  

  The National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) projects will account for infrastructure investment worth INR 111 lakh crore during FY 2020-25. Once implemented, NIP is likely to provide a major thrust to economic activity in India.  

  Infrastructure development in India provides a plethora of opportunities for global investors. As countries across the world slowly resume economic activity and inch towards normalcy, it becomes imperative to focus revival efforts on sectors  such as infrastructure that provide greater job creation opportunity in the country. Improved transparency, streamlined auction systems for allocation of licensing for public resources, the existence of multiple private players and other market mechanisms such as the creation of funding platforms for infrastructure have led to enhanced ease of doing business in the sector.
