What is the future of Indian Infrastructure?

Infrastructure planning is high on the political agenda, with the
Committee on Infrastructure being chaired by the prime minister.
Infrastructure has always been an important part of India’s FYPs
(since independence in 1947 nearly half of the total outlays of the
FYPs have been allocated to infrastructure13) and the current 11th FYP includes several significant national infrastructure programmes. Some national programmes are already underway,
like the National Highway Development Programme (NHDP)
thanks partly to private participation, while the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) programme, which aims to connect 1000+ habitations with all-weather roads by 2008/2009, follows the public route and is lagging behind its planned targets.14 Despite these national infrastructure development programmes,India does not have one overall infrastructure plan. This has resulted in a wide variety of formats, bidding processes and agreements, and
this delays the urgent developments. India’s national government is concerned that some states are less efficient and active in developing their necessary infrastructure and is starting to put pressure on the state authorities. India’s road network, for example, is the
responsibility of the states, but given the urgency of expanding the
network, the national government stepped in and introduced the NHDP to connect India’s major cities.
