Quote
“The link between infrastructure and economic development is not a one time and for all affair. It is a continuous process; and progress in a development has to be preceded, accompanied, and followed by progress in infrastructure, if we are to fulfil our declared objectives of generating a self-accelerating process of economic development.”
Dr. V. K. R.V. Rao [noted Indian economist, early 1980]
Our Answer
•IS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT A PREREQUISITE FOR INDIAN ECONOMY?
YES
Introduction
• The total investment in infrastructure in 2006–07 was estimated to be around 5% of GDP.
• According to XI th Plan, the total investment in infrastructure required is 9% and 11% in the ending years.
• According to the budgeted plan, the total investment in infrastructure required is 7.5%
• GDP growth averaging 9% per year can be achieved only by – overcoming infrastructure deficit – adequate investment takes
• An investment of USD 515.05 billion is suggested in Eleventh Five Year Plan.
• Achieved through a combination of public investment, public-private-partnerships (PPPs) and exclusive private investments

Why so much focus on infrastructure
• Critical pre-requisite for a sustainable growth of the economy
• Affects international competitiveness and flow of direct international investments
• Influences the living standards
• Realizing their full growth potential

Infrastructure Development in China and India
Saving rates
•In the 1980, China saved 35% of GDP whereas India’s savings rate was less than half at 15.5%.•Combined with higher fiscal deficits in India, it was not always possible to invest in infrastructure.

Infrastructure Sector Performance Indicators
We may conclude
• Links between infrastructure and economic growth and poverty reduction is neither certain nor automatic
• results in improvements in productivity and in overall quality of life
• facilitates economic growth• provides connections to the global economy that
are crucial for export competitiveness and manufacturing
• increased inequality and great regional disparity
Sector Analysis
Roads
•Road transport accounted for around 87 per cent of passenger movement
• 60 per cent of freight movement in 2005-06
•Road network consists of national highways (NHs), statehighways, major district roads, other district roadsand village roads.
[Source: www.morth.nic.in]
Roads
• One of the largest highway and road networks; second to the road network of US
• Total length of roads exceeds 3.34 million millionkilometers (source: Economic Survey 2008-09)

Roads
• The Government has laid down ambitious plans for development and upgradation of the domestic road network.
• Private sector participation through PPPs is being actively encouraged to achieve greater efficiencies in development, operation and maintenance.
• Private projects witnessed a 17 percent slippage in time targets as opposed to a 65 percent slippage in projects funded by the NHAI.

Problems
[Source: Economic Survey 2009-10]
•Close to 66% of India’s power generation capacity is coal based, consuming 74% of domestic production. •Large-scale investments are needed to expand mine capacity and to improve the quality of domestic coal. •SEBs are unable to raise and collect sufficient revenue to cover costs•Around 400 million Indians still have no access to electricity.• Just 44 percent of rural households have access to electricity.•Power Theft
Suggestions
• Allow the entry of the private sector in distribution
• A separate policy specific to hydroelectric power
• A nuclear power policy to explore the possibility of allowing the private sector into nuclear power generation.
• Untapped renewable sources of energy (approximately 126,000 MW comprising 79,000 MW from ocean thermal, sea wave and tidal power; 20,000 MW from wind energy; 17,000 MW from bio-mass: and 10,000 MW from mini-micro hydel power projects).
Indian Railways
• World’s third largest rail network • Freight Charges :
– Railways have rationalized the freight structure extensively to make it simple and transparent.
– Under the new pricing strategy, surcharge is levied during peak season and discounts offered during lean season
• Upgradation of passenger amenities (Station Amenities)– Out of the 594 stations identified for upgradation of
passenger amenities through Model Station scheme, 325 stations have already been developed, while the rest are at various stages of progress.
[Source: Economic Survey 2009-10]

Opportunities
• Mobile Governance
• Micro Financing
• Developing locally relevant content
• Education
• Government support
• Mobile Banking and M-commerce
Port Sector
• India’s coastline of approximately 6,000 km enfolds 192 ports.
• direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Surface Transport (MoST)
• An additional 181 minor and intermediate ports are governed by the Indian Ports Act.
• Currently, Ports follow “service” or “comprehensive” port model whereby all operations, services and facilities are provided by the port authority.
• Transfer into landlord model whereby the port authority will only be responsible for regulatory functions and infrastructure, the latter to be leased out to private companies for a certain period of time.

Shortcomings
• Cargo Handling Capacity
• Competition among the ports
• Port Management and government control
• Private Sector Participation
• Port Infrastructure
• Hinterland Connection
• SEZ’s and Industrial clusters along the port.
Challenges• Indian Ports as a transshipment point are not competitive
with international ports due to high port costs and tight regulations.
• Lack of Private participation and investment because of lack of business environment.
• Certain physical limitations like low water depth and logistics limitations like old infrastructure and cargo handling facility.
• Lack of expansion capabilities since the land around ports has been inhabited and uncommitted political will make it difficult to take land for expansion.
• Hinterland infrastructure like rail, roadways network is as important as the ports itself. Poor infrastructure makes it unproductive for business purposes as cost and time rises.
What Needs to be Done
• Liberalization• Commercialization• Corporatization• Privatization• Autonomy in tariff setting and investing.• Establishment of Second Generation Ports• Developing India as a world Cruise Market
Facts about Port Sector
• 100% FDI has been allowed in this sector
• “India expects to double port capacity to 1,500 million tonnes by 2011/12 and would require 1 trillion rupees investment in the port and shipping sectors.” - Federal Shipping Secretary, A P V N Sarma [October 2008]
• National Maritime Development Program includes 276 projects, with a required investment of about $15 billion over the next 10 years with private investment targeted at $8 billion
Most of the commercial activity perhaps other than agriculture and village merchandise takes place in Urban areas.
An overcrowded city will create more problems than solving some. Hence an broad and far sighted infrastructure plan incorporates both economic growth and social well being. Thus infrastructure growth goes hand in hand with the economic growth and in most cases is a pre-requisite for growth.

A weak infrastructure will deter entrepreneurs and repel money flowing into the region thus hampering the prosperity of the region.

Our Conclusion
• Increase Private participation to fund the deficit in investment to attain GDP growth rate of 9%
• Focus on balance growth theory: Investment in rural infrastructure like rural roads
• Increase in Index of Industrial Production through better infrastructure
• Better employment rate through infrastructure investment
Our Conclusion
• Co-operation from state government
• use of standard documents: Model Concession Document for better and fast decision making for complex PPP programme
• Setting up of committee like PPPAC for better execution of project and informed decisions
• Giving more authority to IIFCL for faster raising of funds for infrastructure
