1 Introduction
In this report we examine the key driver of the economy, Infrastructure is the hallmark
of economic development as the mega structure of the nation’s overall wealth hinges
on it. But the fast growth of the Indian economy in recent years have placed stress on
physical infrastructure such as electricity, railways, roads, ports, airports, irrigation,
urban and rural water supply and sanitation, all of which already suffer from a
significant deficit. Infrastructure development will help create a better investment
picture. To develop infrastructure in the country the government is expected to review
issues of budgetary allocation, tariff policy, fiscal incentives, private sector
participation and public private partnerships. There are many issues that need to be
addressed in different infrastructural fields. To begin with, the gap between electricity
and demand is affecting both manufacturing and overall growth. Another concern is
the transport sector while road transport is the backbone of the Indian transport
infrastructure, it is inade!uate in terms of !uality, !uantity and collectivity. "urther
more civil aviation and ports desperately needs moderni#ation. It is expected that the public sector will continue to play vital role in building transport infrastructure.
$owever the resources they need are much larger than what the public sector can
provide.
2 Infrastructure in India
Ade!uate investment in infrastructure development is a prere!uisite for higher
economic growth. %ue to low investment in infrastructure development, India suffers
from a huge infrastructure deficit. The average infrastructure investment in Indiaduring the period &''()(*&* constituted +. per cent of the -ross %omestic roduct
/-%0 as against .1 per cent across countries like 2hina, Indonesia and 3ietnam.
"urther, as per the 4orld 5conomic "orum -lobal 2ompetitiveness 6eport (*&+,
India ranks 78 out of &++ countries in terms of infrastructure !uality with 9inade!uate
supply of infrastructure’ listed as the most difficult factor in doing business.
According to the report, India’s infrastructure rankings vary from 7+ in !uality of
roads to &&& in !uality of electricity supply.

enchanced !uality and !uantity of infrastructure services is ac!uired and provides
value for the tax payer as well as wider benefits to the economy. In India the
pro:ects include urban infrastructure such as airport, ports and railways, roads, health,
water supply and sanitation and have extended their focus on schools also. 6ecently
both the central and the state government have successfully harnessed in roaddevelopment. 2urrently several private partnership initiatives are under implimentaion
across India. The scope of this initiative in healthcare services span from disease
survellience to bulk purchase and distribution of drugs, recruiting specialists for high
risk pregnancies, national disease control panel. ;ocial marketing adoption and
