Why India ?

The economic liberalisation initiated in 1991 and subsequent proactive reforms set the foundation for India's growth on a higher trajectory.
While rapid economic growth in the past five years has put significant pressure on the existing infrastructure in the country, scaling up of infrastructure is the need of the hour to sustain such growth levels. The government has assigned a priority sector to infrastructure. The 11th five year plan envisaged a planned outlay of $500bn into the infrastructure sector between 2007 and 2012. The significant focus areas for infrastructure in the 11th plan are as follows:

More than 30% of the planned outlays are expected to come from private participation. Governments' Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative coupled with opening of key sectors to private investment will act as drivers for increased private participation. The need for quality infrastructure in India cannot be under-stated. A growing economy largely supported by domestic consumption will translate into sustained demand for core infrastructure. Given that existing infrastructure is insufficient to sustain current economic growth, it is only logical that demand for infrastructure is headed north.
