Infrastructure Development: India's Biggest Challenge
For the moment, Indian economy is shining and everything seems to be going on India's way. Not everything however is rosy. Yes, Indian economy is growing at a rate of 8% but keeping this high growth rate intact is a big challenge for any country. For India, it is even a bigger challenge as the country does not have good infrastructures. The Confederation of Indian Industry thinks that infrastructure development can become a major concern for India in the coming days. I am quoting from a report published in Houston Chronicle:
"The Confederation of Indian Industry said a study carried out by the group showed India needs to increase its spending on infrastructure projects to 8 percent of its gross domestic product from 4.6 percent now.
That means investments in infrastructure must total $331 billion over the next five years, it said in a statement.
India currently spends much less on infrastructure than China and other developing countries in the Asian region, and experts have often warned that its booming economy could falter because of inadequate ports, roads and power supplies."
Well, if you go to India then you will understand the problem better. Yes, some of the Indian cities are developed just like other modern cities. However, except the few big cities, the rest of India is still far behind in terms of infrastructure development. Hopefully, Indian government will take notice of this reality and do something substantial.
What do you think?
