This site provides detailed information on India Infrastructure Fund. The site also focuses on the current scenario and reforms effected by the government for funding infrastructural development in India.

The Ministry of Finance and Department of Economic Development hold that economic development of India is directly connected with availability of basic and modern infrastructure in India. The government of India has now formulated policies to forge public and private partnership to facilitate India Infrastructure Fund accumulation.

India Infrastructure Fund is a recently implemented reform program, involving a paradigm shift of stance to develop Indian infrastructure through private-public joint venture. Indian economy is now feeling the heat of basic infrastructure constraints, both physical and human. Infrastructure investment in India always occupied the back-seat in the economic development policy draft. The budgetary allocation proved to be too little to keep pace with other areas of business development in India.

To add to the problem, the growth of Indian IT, Telecommunication, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing industries has almost exhausted the limited world class infrastructure that was at India's disposal. The India Infrastructure Fund is a pool of monitory contribution from public and private investor and also includes foreign investors.

Some landmark development achieved with the help of India Infrastructure Fund are:

Roads
  • Highway construction
  • Four-lane National Highways of 35000 km
