Book excerpt: The availability of adequate, efficient, and affordable infrastructural facilities - both economic and social - constitutes the core of development strategy and efforts. In the absence of infrastructure services, enterprises are forced to seek higher-cost alternatives which impact profits and production levels adversely. In India, the demand for infrastructural services has increased rapidly since industrial liberalization of the economy. Unfortunately, infrastructural bottlenecks remain the biggest stumbling block of industrial progress in the country. By their very nature, infrastructure projects involve huge initial investments, long gestation periods, and high risk. This book examines the problems and inadequacies of various sectors of economic and social infrastructure in India. Changes in infrastructure policy and new institutional arrangements for infrastructure development are also discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stellar performance of the Indian economy, being widely publicized as the success of the democratic setup of the country, has drawn admirable attention from the rest of the world. But vis-à-vis this tinsel growth story, its democratic deficit also makes itself manifest in the rising number of the underclass who have not benefited from this growth. Even with 11 Five Year Plans, India is still to ensure food, drinking water, basic education and healthcare for all. On the other hand, despite a near double-digit growth, the Indian economy is on the throes of infrastructural deficits, posing serious threat to its growth potential. Sustained economic growth requires investments in critical infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and even swanky malls and hotels for its super rich. Which way should India go? This paper explores the contradiction of India's economic growth which has failed to touch the lives of its poor and suggests that much of its policy dilemma can be resolved in the light of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) -- the widely accepted benchmark for acceptable level of poverty, hunger, child mortality and other parameters of human well being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Availability of adequate, efficient and affordable infrastructural facilities -- power, transport, communications, irrigation and others -- constitutes the core of development strategy and efforts. Unfortunately, infrastructural bottlenecks remain the biggest stumbling block of industrial progress in India. By their very nature, infrastructure projects involve huge initial investments, long gestation periods and high risk. Various initiatives have been taken for the development of infrastructure in India after the initiation of economic reforms in the early 1990s. India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) was incorporated on January 5, 2006 to lend funds, of longer term maturity, directly to the eligible projects to supplement other loans from banks and financial institutions. Broad guidelines were issued on September 23, 2011 for setting up Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDFs) to facilitate flow of funds into infrastructure projects. Electricity Act, 2003 recognises trading of power as a distinct activity and permits State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to allow open access in distribution of electricity in phases that would ultimately encourage efficiency and competition. Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) was launched by the Prime Minister on April 4, 2005. This scheme is for rural electricity infrastructure and household electrification. The National Highways Development Project (NHDP)the largest highway project ever undertaken by the countryis being implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). National Telecom Policy, 2011 seeks to maximize public good by making available affordable, reliable and secure telecommunication and broadband services across the entire country. Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 seeks to promote value addition component in exports, generate employment and mobilise foreign exchange. Planning Commission, Government of India, in its Approach Paper released in October 2011 has projected an investment in infrastructure of over ` 45 lakh crore (about US$ 1 trillion) during the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17). It is projected that at least 50 percent of this investment will come from the private sector as against the 36 percent anticipated in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12).

Download or read book Infrastructure and Development in India written by Rajarshi Majumder and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of infrastructure is paramount in the development process as shortages of infrastructure act as a limiting factor in fostering economic growth. Its importance is enhanced in labor-surplus developing economies like India. Large numbers of people can be gainfully employed in the creation of infrastructural facilities, which can thereafter fuel economic growth. Surprisingly, studies on this important issue have been sparse in India, and most of them have been done at the national or state level, or have focused on select facility. This book fills the gap by examining the infrastructure-development interlinkage in India up to the district level, preceded by a national overview of developments over the last 35 years, using a multi-variable approach. Another distinctive feature is an exercise in infrastructure demand projection consistent with India's Vision 2020 targets and cost estimation for reaching those goals. An extensive discussion on relevant policy issues facing the infrastructural planners today - both at sectoral and aggregate levels - completes the study.
