Good Days Are Here…
The first 100 days of the Modi government have been encouraging. Now the Centre is firmly moving to mission mode. There´s much that the infrastructure sector can look forward to in the days to come. Let´s look at the various initiatives that the government plans to unroll.
Racks of investment
At present, India is not yet ready with the concept of third party involvement for building up rail infrastructure for coal linkages. Now with the positivity which the present government has got along, investors are optimistic about fast-track solutions for coal linkage issues.
Mobility solutions
The total investment required in urban transport works out to roughly about Rs.1 lakh crore per year for the next 20 years. It is important to find appropriate ways and means to be able to generate this kind of investment.The next phase of India´s growth is predominantly dependent on planned urbanisation and the key to planned urbanisation is robust.
