A country’s physical infrastructure is an important determinant of its economic growth. It contributes
to enhance productivity, and also improves the quality of life for citizens of the nation. The scope of
physical infrastructure (henceforth infrastructure) comprises of roads & highways, railways, air transport
infrastructure, ports, logistics infrastructure, power (conventional & renewable energy), oil & gas and
telecommunication.
In India, the infrastructure sector has witnessed significant increase in investment in recent years. The
government has laid considerable emphasis on investment in infrastructure in its recent budgets in
order to achieve high growth trajectory for the Indian economy. Yet there is a long way to go. Hence at
this backdrop, the chapter seeks to assess the current status of infrastructure in India. It also discusses
the challenges faced by the sector and some policy measures taken by the government to reduce the
infrastructure deficit.
During FY18, the government of India had set itself a target of building 41.09 km of roads & highways
per day. However, it could only manage to build 22.55 km/day during the year. Likewise, it had also set
a target of awarding projects at the rate of 68.5 km per day in FY18, of which it could achieve only 43.7

In FY17, the passenger traffic of the IR stood at 8,116 mn, largely unchanged as compared to the
preceding year. Likewise, the freight traffic stood at 1,106.1 MT, only nominally higher vis-à-vis the
preceding year. The revenue from the freight segment accounted for as much as 63% of the railway’s gross
earnings during the year. Within the passenger segment, almost 82.5% of its revenue was constituted
from express long-distance train service, while suburban services and ordinary short distance traffic
accounted for 5.8% and 11.7% of revenue from passenger segment, respectively.
Moving further, data suggests that the passenger and freight traffic of the Indian Railways has further
increased to 8,287 mn and 1,160 MT, respectively, in FY18.

been the sharp drop in ARPU during FY18 due to the decline in data tariffs which is further reflected in
falling profitability. It has led to consolidation within the industry. In order to give some respite to the
stressed telecom sector, the government unveiled a relief package. The government has relaxed the
spectrum holding limits from 25% to 35% of the available spectrum and has also increased the tenor of
spectrum payment from 10 to 16 years. The easing of holding caps will provide boost to mergers and

t
proportion of the country’s total population are some of the key demand drivers for the infrastructure
e e
sector. As per the Economic Survey report, India will need an infrastructure investment of about
t r
US$ 4.5 trillion in the next 25 years.
r a d s
Increased investment by the government – The recent trend in the infrastructure sector is
characterised by the significant investment push from the government through increased budgetary
B
allocations to the sector. In the Union Budget 2018-19, the government has provided a record
n &
allocation of ` 5.97 trillion for the sector in FY19, an increase of almost a trillion over the previous
u
fiscal. An all-time-high allocation has been provided to rail and road sector which is expected to
D
help in strengthening the transport infrastructure.
FDI inflows in the Indian infrastructure sector – The government has liberalised FDI in the
infrastructure sector with most of the segments being permitted to receive 100% FDI under automatic
route. This has led to the strong inflow of FDI to infrastructure projects with large proportion of
investment being witnessed in telecommunication, power and infrastructure construction sectors.
The FDI received in infrastructure development projects from April 2000 to June 2018 stood at US$
70 bn, accounting for 18% of the total FDI equity inflows during the period.

t
also liberalised the exit policies for concessionaires to free-up equity for re-investment into new
e
projects. The amendment in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 has made dispute resolution
t r e
more cost effective and time-bound, thereby facilitating private investment in the infrastructure
d s
sector.
r a
Development of other avenues of infrastructure financing – In an attempt to raise equity from
B
the market, the government has developed innovative monetising structures like Infrastructure
&
Investment Trust (InvIT) and Toll Operate and Transfer (TOT). Under the TOT model, stretches of
u n
national highway already constructed by the NHAI are bid out to the private sector for operations
D
and maintenance for a fixed period in lieu of an upfront fee. NHAI has taken up 100 highways for
bidding under TOT and out of these 9 highways with an aggregate length of about 680 km have been
monetised under TOT for US$ 1.45 bn. Besides, the government has set up National Infrastructure
Investment Fund to channelize foreign institutional finance into infrastructure sector.
Key challenges
Land acquisition – Several infrastructure projects have been stalled or delayed due to land
acquisition issues, thus making it the major bottleneck in the infrastructure development. The
main reasons behind difficulties being faced in land acquisition are the resistance from farmers
or local communities and lack of well-planned, efficient and demonstrable rehabilitation packages
which led to major disputes and litigations. In view of disputes related to land acquisition, the
NDA government amended the ‘Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition,
Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013’, popularly known as the Land Acquisition Act, 2013.
The amendment provides higher compensation, resettlement and rehabilitation benefits to
landowners. However, this has resulted in steep increase in land acquisition costs for infrastructure
developers. Further the act requires the approval of almost 80% of the land owners in the affected
area, making it difficult for developers to acquire land for infrastructure projects. Further, many
states charge a percentage of the acquisition costs as administrative charges for acquiring the land
t
from private investment as well as other institutional sources dedicated for infrastructure financing.
r e e
Stressed assets in infrastructure sector – A slowdown in domestic economy, lack of long-term
s t
alternative financing options, regulatory delays in clearances and delays due to environmental
a d
issues hampered execution of infrastructure projects in the last few years. Stalled projects at
B r
various stages resulted in overrun of project costs affecting the balance sheet of the infrastructure
&
companies. This in turn resulted into stress in servicing of debt particularly in segments like
n
transportation, power and telecommunication. With existing loans turning into NPAs, banks have
u
become risk-averse and have started showing reluctance in disbursing credit to long-gestation
D
infrastructure projects.
Concluding Remarks
It is expected that in order to meet the growing infrastructure demand, an infrastructure investment
to the tune of ` 50 trillion is required till 2022. The government has shown its commitment towards
infrastructure development by providing substantial budgetary allocations in the last two years. It has
also stepped up reform initiatives in the sector. However, to reduce the current infrastructure deficit,
the government is also required to take concerted efforts to engage private sector to build and manage
infrastructure facilities.

Next-Gen transport & logistic solutions
n
u
India has the second largest road network, third largest rail network and ninth largest civil aviation
D
market in the world. It also has a sea port network of 13 major ports and 205 minor ports. Despite
this, its transportation sector is riddled with various problems like congestion and poor quality of
infrastructure, etc. While the government has reiterated its commitment towards investment in
transport infrastructure segment to keep pace with the growing demand for transport infrastructure,
the use of next-gen technologies will also help in reshaping the sector going forward. The new age
transport technologies can be embedded in traffic lights, car parks, toll-booths, roads, railways and
bridges, to name a few. These collectively will help in easing congestion and reduce logistics costs.
Further, the deployment of next-gen transport infrastructure has some long-term benefits including
improvement in productivity, innovation and creation of job opportunities in directly-related industries.
India is slowly but steadily enforcing next-gen technologies in the transport infrastructure sector. Some
recent new-age transport & logistic infrastructure initiatives are as given below:
Road
Smart Traffic Management System – The NHAI initially launched this surveillance system on 10
national highways. It has a built-in low-latency Internet Protocol (IP) camera, and collates data
on the traffic at toll gates. It gives real-time data on traffic monitoring, traffic signal monitoring
and control, traffic camera monitoring and control, active traffic management and more. Also, the
system works round the clock and is integrated with high-end technologies to function without
t
NHAI. FASTag is affixed on the windscreen of the vehicle and employs RFID technology for making
r e e
toll payments directly from a prepaid or savings account linked to the tag. Since September 1, 2017,
s t
the NHAI has operationalised at least one dedicated FASTag lane at all toll plazas. The government
a d
has also set a mandate that new vehicles being sold w.e.f. October 1, 2017 should be affixed with
B r
active FASTag. This technology enables vehicles to drive through toll plazas without stopping for
&
transactions, thereby saving time and fuel costs. This is also expected to result in better traffic
n
management by reducing congestion .
D u
Railways
Specified Modified Aesthetic Reform Travel coaches – Specified Modified Aesthetic Reform Travel
coaches have been introduced in trains like the Tejas Express. These coaches will have features like
bio-vacuum toilets, modular fittings, sensor-taps, attendant call buttons, reclining seats and can run
at speeds of up to 200 kms per hour. These initiatives have potential to improve passenger comfort.
Passenger information systems – This system provides real time information to passengers through
electronic sign boards at railway platforms and personal mobile devices. This has helped in reducing
the uncertainty about expected time of arrival and has also eased congestion at waiting rooms .
The use of sensor-based On-Board Condition Monitoring System – Indian railways has proposed
to install railway vehicle mounted sensor-based On-Board Condition Monitoring System (OBCMS)
to monitor the health and safety of key components of the coaches, freight cars and locomotives.
The use of OBCMS is expected to result in improved safety & reliability, higher utilisation, increased
up-time and reduced operation costs of the railway assets by enabling predictive maintenance and
reduction in sudden catastrophic failures of these assets . The OBCMS project is still in nascent
stages.

has been developed at the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi, UP. The system
aims to ensure hassle-free movement of travellers from entry to boarding points. Kempegowda
International Airport at Bengaluru has deployed Aadhaar-enabled and biometric e-boarding
systems, which are expected to quicken the process of confirmation and validation of personal
identity for airport passengers.
Automation of airport surveillance and safety – A number of steps have been taken for automation
of airport surveillance and safety, which include CCTV surveillance systems at sensitive airports,
X-ray baggage inspection systems, premier security and surveillance systems and smart cards for
access control to vital installations, etc.
Logistics
Multi-modal logistic parks - The development of multi-modal logistics parks, streamlined economic
corridor routes for efficient freight movement and inter-modal stations to connect various
transportation modes.
Digital technology is also being used to plan optimal utilisation of vehicle fleet. Technologies such as

Skill development – India, being a country with a young population of an average age of 29 years, has
a large workforce. However, when it comes to skilled manpower, the country has lot to improve. It
is estimated that only 2% of the total workforce in India have undergone skill training. Further, with
rise in automation, even the existing workforce would require reskilling in some sectors. As per the
India Skills Report 2018 of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), sectors like IT/BPM,
automotive, textile, BFSI and retail will require reskilling. The new skill sets will be required for roles like
data scientists, 3D printing, digital marketing, cyber security specialist and blockchain architect amongst
many others. These jobs will require skill sets like cognitive abilities such as creativity, logical reasoning
and problem sensitivity, systems skills, complex problem solving, content skills and social skills.
t
Against this backdrop, emphasis has been laid on providing vocational education, with a target being
e
set to provide skill training to 400 mn people by 2022. Further, there has been substantial increase in
t r e
budgetary allocation towards the education sector. These measures are likely to help in creating skilled
d s
labour going forward .
B r a
Slow adoption of new technology – Despite the existence of an advanced IT/ICT industry, there has
&
been slow adoption of digital technologies in the infrastructure sector. This can be attributed to lack
u n
of awareness about the economic benefits of employing technology in the infrastructure segment,
D
insufficient skilled manpower and inadequate technological infrastructure.
In the coming years, India is expected to adopt various new age transportation solutions that will
ensure enhanced mobility, comfort and safety for its users. In order to provide further impetus to next-
gen transport infrastructure, the government is working on National Transport Master Plan (NTMP)
which will be jointly developed by the ministries of Road Transport & Highways, Shipping, Civil Aviation
and Railways. NTMP is expected to include construction of multi-modal transport hubs that will have
railway stations, metro railway stations and bus terminals under one roof. In line with this master plan,
the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has planned the development of ten such hubs across the
country, in partnership with the railways and shipping ministries. Moreover, Green Urban Mobility
Scheme which is expected to be implemented by 2022-23 at an estimated investment of ` 700 bn
comprises initiatives like promotion of alternate fuels, electric mobility and introduction of cashless
payment systems.
The Smart Cities program offer immense potential to improve the quality of life for around 100 mn people
in the country. The initiative will also generate employment, thereby stimulating economic growth. The
deployment of technology in the development of smart cities will generate many new-age job profiles,
especially in the spheres of Information and Communication Technology, data management & analytics
and e-governance. Further, given that a large pool of data will be used in building and management of
smart cities, employment opportunities related to data monitoring and surveillance will also witness
growth.
e t
There is tremendous potential in India to build Next-Gen infrastructure that will create new-age
t r e
employment opportunities and contribute to economic growth through innovation. While the
d s
government has taken a slew of measures to promote next-gen infrastructure, private sector participation
r a
also needs to be increased to realise the true potential of growth in this segment.
