THE INDUSTRY-STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

Infrastructure Industry in India has been experiencing a rapid growth in its different sectors with the development of urbanization and increasing involvement of foreign investments in this field. The Indian government has taken initiatives to develop the infrastructure sector, with major emphasis on construction, engineering, IT, entertainment, textiles, food, and utility to name some. The construction industry is the second largest industry of the country after agriculture. It makes a significant contribution to the national economy and provides employment to large number of people. The use of various new technologies and deployment of project management strategies has made it possible to undertake projects of mega scale. The Indian construction sector has been growing at more than 12% pa in the last four years i.e. almost 1.5 times the country's overall growth. In its path of advancement, the industry is still faced with some major challenges, including housing, disaster resistant construction, water management and mass transportation. Further relatively higher inflation levels in the country and slowdown in the global economic growth, especially in the US seems to dampen the favorable economic climate.

 

The Indian industry, however, had a higher share of 30% in the annual average growth achieved in GDP during the last 5 years. A notable feature of this growth phase is the significant up trend seen in the manufacturing, construction, transport and communication sectors. It is heartening to note that the foreign direct investment during the fiscal year 2007-2008 increased to USD 25 billion and is expected to scale up with further opening up of core and infrastructure sectors. Inclusive development of the economy supported by a strong infrastructure is a prerequisite for sustaining the growth momentum and improving an all round quality of life. With the government commitment to a faster pace of reform and creating a slew of world class infrastructure, the industrial outlook remains encouraging.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Infrastructure in India generally refers to the elementary supporting factors responsible for the entire frame of India. The infrastructure definition says that anything that forms the core of the functioning of any country is infrastructure. India being the seventh-largest country in the world has maintained an infrastructure management that has enabled India to reach new heights. Over the last increase of basic raw materials costs as cement, steel and labour etc.
