Private investment is still she as capacities are still below optimal. Big announcements are great for optics but can we also detail the funding plan? INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY cover story tackles it. Also, read our special feature on Port Infrastructure and Airport. Read on....

COVER STORY:
Rs. 4 TRILLION PORT OF OPPORTUNITIES:
The year 2018 has been a significant one for the logistic and shipping sector in India. Bolstered by progressive policy interventions like amendment of Model Concession Agreement (MCA), revision of tariff guidelines, and the various steps taken towards facilitating ease of doing business, the major ports kept up their impressive performance of the past four years in terms of
capacity addition and improvement of efficiency parameters.

INTERACTION:
We have identified projects worth Rs.1.45 trillion
Kailash Agarwal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Shipping, India

JNPT continued to upscale its growth trajectory and closed the financial year ending Mar 2019 handling 5.13 million TEUs, which is a 6.20 per cent growth as compared to the last financial year. Another
feather in the cap is that the port has risen to 28th rank among the top 100 container ports globally, as per the latest Lloyds Report and is the only Indian port to feature among the global top-30

Haldia Dock: The Gateway to East:
HDC’s key priorities are installation of one container handling crane (RMQC), mechanisation of Berth No 3 in PPP mode, and creation of liquid cargo handling facilities at Shalukali through PPP,and a goal to handle 65 MMTPA of cargo by 2021–22.

PERSPECTIVE - TECHNOLOGY:
Logistics Future Powered By Technology

“Sustainable infrastructure is the priority in funding any project” 
Najeeb Haider, Principal Strategy Officer, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)

A greenfield smart city is a clean-slate approach towards urban growth, something that helps prepare for a new future. Two main issues that need to be addressed today – a coming-of-age population that needs employment, and a place for them to live while they work. INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY digs in more to understand why India need more greenfield cities than 100 brownfield smart cities, as envisaged by the Modi-led government. 

That apart, India is expected to have the second largest number of project management jobs in the world after China. Phenomenal growth in project management opportunities will largely be driven by economic expansion and infrastructure projects. But, is the country geared up to meet the demand for skilled personnel in the area? INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY spoke to a cross-section of the industry to assess the situation.

Mission Execution!

INFRASTRUCTURE TODAY, through this story, examines the route that India’s Smart Cities Mission is taking the country in terms of execution.  
Also read an exclusive interview with PP Chaudhary, Minister of State, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India and Zheng Bin, CEO, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd and Chairman, MCEA. 

What's more, the current issue has in-depth articles on Water and Wastewater and PSUs. 

Housing Checks Into Infra

​After years of industry lobbying, this year's Budget has finally granted infra status to the affordable housing industry, giving the segment a big boost. But infra financing models, like the ​much-touted ​Hybrid Annuity Model​,​ ha​ve
 not really taken off. So what lies ahead for infra finance?


The budgetary support for the infrastructure industry to the tune of Rs 4 lakh crore was announced by Union finance minister Arun Jaitley on Feb 1, 2017.

Infrastructure Today made an honest effort to seek expectations from the budget that infra industry leaders had from the Union budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal. Post budget, the same stakeholders were asked to assess whether their expectations had been met or not.

A news feature on future proofed airports in India, including an interview with the Airports Authority of India chairperson, Guruprasad Mohapatra as well as a news focus on the coal and mining sector were also suitably addressed in the Feb issue of IT.

The new year - 2017 - has ushered in a mixed bag of hopes and worries for the infrastructure sector. Demonetisation held up cash based operations of toll projects that came to a grinding a halt. PM Modi is pushing capital and bonds markets to provide long term finance for infra projects. The tax rates applicable for these financial markets are likely to be revised upwards to generate infra financing. The recent pulls and pushes on the Indian economy has the potential to be a game-changer for the infra segment. 
ends.

The impact of the proposed uniform Goods and Services Tax (GST) across India will result in the warehousing and logistics industry re-calibrating and literally needing to transform to a mega-warehousing culture. Currently, Indian companies are compelled to maintain warehouses in as many states as they do business in, to avoid paying variable rates of taxes as prevalent in individual states.

The IT issue also takes a look at the imperatives of turning to renewable energy sources so India meets the challenge of 100 per cent electricity for all.

Another segment, showcases industry leaders address the need for major sports infrastructure, if India has to scale the heights of sporting glory at international athletics meets like Olympics.

A slew of policy decisions by the Narendra Modi led government to inject private investment impetus to road, port, airport and railway infrastructure projects is aimed at making infrastructure projects a 'bankable' proposition for EPC contractors and developers, but, ...land acquisition issues, judicial interjection that curtails profits of infrastructure concessionaires using the definition of 'reasonable profits' threatens to hold back infra development..

GST… What’s in it for infra?

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been a long time coming. India Infrastructure Incorporated (read developers and contractors), especially infra services providers, are now gearing up to know the incremental (or negative) impact the proposed GST regime will unleash upon their respective businesses.

Service industry CEOs want to get their act together well before the April 1, 2017 deadline, when the uniform tax regime for India is set to be implemented across the board, to bring all Indian businesses under a single tax blanket.

Is the industry ready to meet the April 1, 2017 deadline? We do a status check…
