In the recently released Doing Business Report (DBR, 2020) by the World Bank, India has recorded a jump of 14 positions against its rank of 77 in 2019 and is currently placed at 63rd rank among 190 countries assessed by the World Bank. This sharp rise in the rankings could help to lure multinational companies and push the wheels of growth of the country’s economy. In the year 2019 and earlier, a number of infrastructure development projects initiated or accelerated in different segments.
The year 2019 also saw an increase in the total national highways length increased to 132,500 kms from 92,851 kms in FY14 at a pace of about 30 kms a day during the fiscal. Under the Sagarmala Programme, more than 574 projects costing about INR 6,000 billion have been identified for implementation for the port modernization & new port development, port connectivity enhancement, port-linked industrialization and coastal community development. A total of 121 projects costing INR 302.28 billion have been completed and 201 projects costing to INR 3,090 billion are under implementation as of September 2019.
The Government of India has realized the importance of infrastructure towards the economic and social growth and it has become the biggest focus area with an allocation of INR 4,417 billion for infrastructure development in the 2019-20 Union budgets. It is also estimated that an investment of INR 5,000 billion will be needed for railways infrastructure between the 2018-30 periods. And in order to push the growth buttons, efforts are being made all across to make infrastructure the flag bearer for making the country achieve momentous growth.
