Building the Blocks
The importance of quality infrastructure and the development of an economy have an umbilical cord binding them and can never be seen in isolation. Broadly, infrastructure is the network of power, telecom, ports, airports, roads, civil aviation, railways, and transportation in a country and is the lifeline of the economy of a country.
5/25 scheme may benefit projects with stable cash flows
We must understand project finance in the traditional sense. Project finance works only when all material approvals for a particular project are in place and the same is then handed over to a successful bidder like the bidding for UMPP was done in India.

Remove bottlenecks | budget 2013-14
Given the backdrop of a modest 5.5 per cent GDP growth expected in FY13 and uncertainties on a global economic recovery, Union Budget 2013-14 assumes immense importance. It is imperative to stimulate domestic demand, that too through infrastructure creation because of its huge multiplier impact in terms of creating new jobs, enhancing productive capacity of economy and promoting inclusive growth.
Investing in risk assessment
Over the last two months, HDFC Bank recruited heads for four verticals, including infrastructure finance, to grow its investment banking business. Recently, several banks have been hiring up infrastructure experts, and as innocuous as the news may seem, it reflects a longer term goal to get specialised.
