Infrastructure development is vital for the sustainable economic growth and competitiveness of a country. Population growth and rapid urbanisation are increasing the demands on infrastructure in India, be it for roads, rail, waste management, water supply or energy. The importance of infrastructure development cannot be over emphasised as it contributes to both the demand and supply side of the economy, giving rise to significant multiplier effects. Infrastructure development not only links the country’s many geographic regions and markets, but it also generates employment, provides clean water and energy, boosts living standards, makes health and education available to all and encourages inward investment. India is swiftly developing in a world where economic growth has slowed, and it offers enormous opportunity for investment and development.
