Infrastructure, the new growth driver?
New Delhi: Many believe infrastructure could be the next driver of growth, and companies in this sector could grow the same way as software companies like Infosys and Wipro grew for much of the past decade. In fact, the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12) had estimated an investment of $500 billion in infrastructure, with government bringing 70 percent, reports Business Standard.
Issac George, CFO, GVK Power and Infrastructure, has said that infrastructure would continue to post higher growth as the base is low. "We are just scratching the surface; hence, the growth would be high. The sector is about to take off. For a couple of years, the growth will be very high for all serious players," he said.
Nikhil Gandhi, who developed a greenfield (entirely new) port (Pipavav), said after reforms, "What we have achieved in infrastructure as a country vis-a-vis what is required is merely 10 percent. There's room for 90 percent, which will be achieved in 20 years. Things will speed up from here," said Gandhi, CEO, Sea King Infrastructure.
According to Business Standard, the private sector is increasingly playing a major role. Jayesh Desai, Managing Director, Enam Holdings, said that the private sector is already playing a bigger role, and the ratio was more like 50:50 today.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is widening 54,000 km of highways, of which 12,000 km is done. Of the remaining 36,000 km, 90 percent would be done by private companies, while 10 percent of the work could be done by NHAI. Today, 83 percent of power-generating capacity is with public sector units. Going forward, the private sector will add over 50 percent of new capacities.
"All big business groups (Tatas, Jindals, Essar, Adanis), with the exception of Birlas, are looking at infrastructure. If you follow them, you can't go wrong. If infrastructure doesn't work, India won't grow. And for infrastructure to happen, private companies have to come to the party, and generate returns for investors," said Desai.

4: Infrstructure will drive 90% of employment
and would make people expert in various field
and ideas i think govenrment should
concentrate time bound infrastruture
development so that more will get jobs
becuase of the time constriant i beleive for
making another 36,000 km of roads would lead
to at least 2 millions jobs which would lead
to income and more money to government rest
all things will fall automatically as per the
development and growth seen in the United
Arab Emirates. since 1982

6: Recently I was in India, what I observed is
surprising. Most of development in India is
very basic, still its looks good because we
was left so backword in world. Also notice,
mostly uneducated get rich from real estate,
construction, stock market gambling just
based on random risk. More over it seems like
India blindly following what happen 10 yrs
ago and now in USA, so its soon going to
crumble. In reality there is no meaningful
advanced development.

8: For every development and the investment to
happen we need good infrastructure as this is
the main reason why India is still lagging
behind in some areas of development.
Kind req. to PM, President of India and other Cabinet ministers plz develop infrastructure gradually for better development of India and also avoid any kind of corruption and bureaucracy.
