Infrastructure Management

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.

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.

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.

 

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)
