India's infrastructure has been improving slowly but steadily over recent years, with foreign investors increasingly keen to invest in the sector. Here are some key facts about India's infrastructure sector:
1- India, Asia's third-largest economy, expects to invest about $500 billion in infrastructure, mainly in power, telecommunication, roads, railways and oil pipelines, in the five years ending March 2012.
2- India will need to spend more than $1 trillion on infrastructure from 2010 to 2019, with roads requiring $427 billion, power $288 billion and railways $281 billion, according to Goldman Sachs.
3- Infrastructure investment is relatively low compared with some countries in Asia. Around 7.5% of GDP is invested in infrastructure, with plans to increase that to about 10% at the end of the 2008-2012 five-year plan.
4- Private investment will likely contribute 36% , or $186 billion, to total infrastructure investment by the end of the 2008-2012 five-year plan, up from 25% for the 2002-2007 period.
5- India will issue tax-free infrastructure bonds with a minimum tenure of 10 years, which will have the potential to raise about $6.5 billion in fiscal year 2010/11, according to government estimates, and the number could rise in 2011/12.
