Infrastructure remains as the core determinant of development for any nation. But, to ensure and realise such measures, availability of hassle-free fund flows is a must. With the Indian Government remaining gung ho over its ambitious array of big-ticket and face-lifting projects, the opportunities expected from the construction segment is immense. The evolving infra-constructional development has given an optimistic cheer to the equipment and allied sectors.

Despite these opportunities the industry had to face its fair share of slowdown owing to the market and economic volatilities – in turning limiting the hassle-free flow of funds.
