2. Introduction
Infrastructure is the backbone of any modern day
economy. Be it boom time or a period of recession,
the need for multi-skilled workforce in the
infrastructure development and maintenance
industry is perennial.
3. Introduction (Contd)
In the next two decades, India is expected to
double its economic infrastructure in terms of
roads, telecommunication systems, water supply,
power generation, ports and airports. India's
infrastructure and transportation sectors require
nearly $400 billion USD investment over the next
7-8 years to develop world-class infrastructure that
is so critical to meet India's growth targets.
4. Projects in Infrastructure Management
Projects like the Golden Quadrilateral (joining four
metropolitan cities viz. Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and
Mumbai through an 8-lane mega highway), Metro
Rail and Sky Bus are inviting use of sophisticated
and breakthrough technologies and multi-skilled
work force.
5. Initiative by Government
Investment boost in infrastructure development by the
Government has brought the Logistics sector in focus.
Some examples are:
The Golden Quadrilateral Project, East-West and
North-South corridors (connecting four major metros)
Free Trade and Warehousing Zones (FTWZ) in line
with Special Economic Zones (SEZ) with 100% Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) and public-private
partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure development
