Keynote address
As India aspires to become one of the premier globally competitive economies, infrastructure demands gain critical focus. Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) are being recognised as the key to raising resources for investment in Indian infrastructure.
This session offers you the Government's vision, the imperatives for building world-class infrastructure in India, the possible challenges, but more importantly, an unparalleled opportunity that Public-Private Partnerships offer to engage with India.

Infrastructure: the business opportunity
After drawing an ambitious Highways programme, the Government is seized of the vital roles that airports, ports and railways play towards development of the economy. Investments in excess of US$ 66 bn are required over the next five years in Indian railways to augment capacity and mitigate network congestions. Major ports demand US 11bn whilst minor ports call for an US$ 4.5 bn to upgrade infrastructure to international standards. An estimated investment of over US$15 billion is called for in airport development over the next five years. In other words, all these sectors present new opportunities for PPPs.
This session examines the prospects, discusses the scale of opportunities and the way forward to develop robust infrastructure in India.
