Abstract: Inadequate infrastructure was recognized in the Eleventh Plan as a major constraint for rapid growth. The Plan had, therefore, emphasized on the need for massive expansion on investment in infrastructure based on a combination of public and private investment, the latter through various forms of PPPs. To develop infrastructure in the country, the government is expected to revisit the issues of budgetary allocation, tariff policy, fiscal incentives, private sector participation and public-private partnerships with resolve.
