Infrastructure - The Investment Opportunities And Potential

After sixty five years of Indian independence, India is still often referred to as a developing country and its long term growth seems to stagnate at 8%. A direct consequence of this arrested growth in the Indian economy, has been the increase in the inequality between modern, urban India and backward, rural India. If India could capitalize on its vast resources, including an integration of its rural, urban and coastal areas, India would be well placed to increase its economic growth by leaps and bounds. The reality remains that any such integration will only be possible if Indian infrastructure improves. There is a crying need for improved rail, road, port, electricity and telecommunication links.
