The Infrastructure sector in India is going through one of its most important phases today. Government initiatives coupled with investments that are flowing into this sector provide a tremendous opportunity for growth. A plethora of schemes are being promoted by the Government to support development of core infrastructure sectors. The policies being promoted by the Government are also seeking to encourage private and foreign capital.The quality of infrastructure developed has an obvious impact on accelerating the economic growth. Given this, infrastructure planning is high on the political agenda for India, with the Committee on Infrastructure being chaired by the Prime Minister himself. Around USD 500 Bn worth of investment was planned to flow into India’s infrastructure by 2012. India's infrastructure sector is expected to double its investments to approximately USD 1 Trillion in the 12th Five Year Plan beginning in April 2012, half of which is expected to come in from the private sector.
In light of the above, it is important to recognize the achievements of those involved in creation of this infrastructure and hence their contribution towards the economic development of India. To highlight the importance of the same, Network 18 has been organizing the Infrastructure Excellence Awards presented by Essar Steel in association with CNBC TV18. The prestigious Award, which is now in its Fourth Year, acknowledges the achievements of the ‘nation builders’ and exhorts them to perform even better. The Awards are designed to showcase exceptional projects and recognize companies for their contribution in the field of infrastructure development. They are the only Infrastructure Awards in the country to be given on the basis of excellence in execution of projects and its overall impact.
