The summit evaluated various threats, challenges, and opportunities in the sector and also the potential gains from the opening up of international corridors.
The 5th edition of The Economic Times Infra Focus Summit organised by ET Edge brought the luminaries and policymakers of the Infrastructure sector together to discuss and formulate holistic solutions for key infrastructural challenges across Asia. The event was held at the Taj Mahal hotel in Delhi. Centred on the theme, ‘Building Business Beyond Boundaries’, the event garnered interesting viewpoints that could contribute to the growth story for infrastructural projects across Asia.
Suresh Prabhu, Commerce and Industry Minister, congratulated The Economic Times for its role as a change agent and said, “With the rise in infrastructure investments in the country, this should be at least 10 per cent of the GDP. Every year we should invest US $ 250 billion, but for promoting that we need different ideas and policies that we can implement. I appeal to all of you participating in the summit to give ideas so that we can work on the ground.”
