InfrastructureThe Driver of Economic Growth

Good quality infrastructure is the most critical physical requirement for attaining faster growth in a competitive world

Average GDP growth of 7.7% achieved in the tenth five year plan period has been the highest in any Plan period so far

India has entered the Eleventh Plan period with an impressive record of economic growth

Adequate investment is necessary to support higher growth and improved quality of both urban and rural class

Average GDP growth of 9% or above can be achieved and sustained only if infrastructure deficit can be overcome
