India’s infrastructure push is necessitated for long-term economic growth. However, the current approach resembles a high-speed chase with unbuckled seatbelts. Unless the policymakers prioritize environmental sustainability, financial prudence, and social justice, this infrastructure boom risks becoming a bust in the coming decades.

Ports, roads to get major investment boost in India, cargo volume to grow upto 8 per cent: The cargo volumes in India are expected to grow 6-8 per cent in the current fiscal year on the back of healthy growth in the container and coal segments, amid increased government capital outlay across roads, ports, and airport infrastructure, a report said on Wednesday. Credit agency ICRA forecasts increased spending on transportation infrastructure projects, including on roads, ports and airports over the coming years, benefiting from solid government support, rising capital outlays and a large pipeline of projects.The government has planned a large capex under its 'Maritime India Vision 2030' to augment port capacity and infrastructure over the next decade. This could bring about supply-demand mismatches in a few clusters, resulting in increased competition and pricing pressure for ports, said the report.ICRA expects India's government to maintain a strong focus on road sector investments through increasing capital outlays.

  # Day 1 of covering infrastructure theme Let’s Explore What This Sector Means: Why Infrastructure is the Real Game-Changer for India’s Economy To achieve a 5 trillion dollar economy in the next 5 to 6 years, Infrastructure is going play a crucial role. The government’s focus on building infrastructure has been evident given the slew of initiatives launched in recent years. The introduction of Gati Shakti in Oct 2021 has already started showing significant headway.   Recently on the month of 28th July 2024, India-Saudi Arabia held their first meeting of the High-Level Taskforce on Investments. Initially, Saudi Arabia promised India a 100 billion dollar investment and to support this investment the task force was constituted on September 2023, following the decision taken by honourable PM Narendra Modi and Saudi Crown Prince His Highness Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.   As of July 2024, a fifth ₹111 trillion infra pipeline was completed. The ₹111 trillion National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) was to run from 2020-2025. The NIP has over 9666 project schemes covering 37 sub-sectors, out of these projects 4413 projects (46%) are under implementation while 2062 projects (21%) have been completed. Infrastructure development will be the backbone of India's growth story as it paves the way for increased investment, job creation, and improved logistics. With initiatives like Gati Shakti and partnerships such as the India-Saudi collaboration, India is well on its path to transforming its infrastructure landscape. The progress made under the National Infrastructure Pipeline demonstrates the government's commitment to achieving its ambitious targets. By focusing on a robust infrastructure, India is positioning itself for sustained economic growth and is steadily moving towards its goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy. #Infrastructure #SectorResearch #EquityResarch #Finance #Investment

Government support in the form of various initiatives such as the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and the PM Gati Shakti Master Plan have opened up a range of opportunities in the construction sector. The increased focus on building domestic manufacturing capacity under the “Make in India” initiative also bodes well for the construction equipment industry. 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 As per industry experts, a focused production-linked incentive scheme is essential to drive investments, indigenisation and competitiveness in the sector. In response to inflationary pressures and rising interest rates, a subsidised borrowing policy is needed to support borrowers with lower interest rates, easing their financial burden and fostering economic stability. The centre’s support for research and development in advanced technologies, alongside the establishment of a technology road­map, is also essential for the industry to become a global manufacturing hub. In order to make long-term funding easier, the construction equipment industry should be granted priority sector status. Furthermore, the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) should be proactive in making long-term and low-cost funding more accessible. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 The Indian equipment industry, currently the third largest in the world, is expected to grow by 15-20 per cent in 2023-24 owing to rapid infrastructure development across the country, driven by massive governmental spending. Programmes such as the NIP, Gati Shakti and Atmanirbhar Bharat will boost demand further. The implementation of advanced technologies, such as internet of things and alternative fuels, will facilitate sustainable growth in the industry. The Vision Plan 2030 is a welcome step towards creating a conducive policy environment and bolstering governmental support. It has proposed an action plan, laying emphasis on both quality and cost competitiveness to help the country become a global manufacturing and export hub for construction equipment. 💡 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬!🔋💯📢🚀 -̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳-̳🙏𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 “𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞” 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 🔔𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝/𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 🔋 🔌 💡 💬 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 & 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀: Chakrapani Vashishtha -Manager Strategy-Business Planning #constructionequipment #construction #constructionindustry #miningindustry #mining #backhoeloader #excavators #roadinfrastructure

India's PM Gati Shakti scheme has significantly increased its infrastructure spending over the last decade, with a strong 15.3% CAGR predicted to increase from 5.3% of GDP in F24 to 6.5% of GDP by F29.

📢 India is seeking private-sector partnerships to fulfil its infrastructure demand. Here is where Australian investors can invest to capitalize on this opportunity and contribute to one of the largest sectors in India. As India aims for a US$5 trillion economy, it plans to invest INR 143 trillion (US$1.72 trillion) in infrastructure from 2024 to 2030, making it the primary driver of economic growth. To facilitate this development, the Indian government is transitioning from relying solely on public capital expenditure to actively pursuing private investment integration in infrastructure. To mitigate investment risks for foreign players, the government is promoting key initiatives such as a liberal FDI policy, Ease of Doing Business measures like the National Single Window System (NSWS), and fiscal incentives. The synergy of PM Gati Shakti, the Project Monitoring Group (PMG), and public-private partnerships (PPP) forms the foundation of these de-risking initiatives.
