India , the fastest growing economies in the world today. To sustain this rapid economic growth we must have a matching and upgraded infrastructure also. For better infrastructure investment plans we need to anticipate the future requirement and capacity and ensure its better implementation. Otherwise the infrastructure becomes inadequate in a few years leading to the same gap as before. For effective investment policies we must target where needed and in a holistic manner. Government’s initiatives, commitment to improve and expand infrastructure in the country is reflected in the investment in infrastructure during twelfth plan. The total investment in infrastructure during twelfth plan is projected at Rs. 5574663 crore as compared to Rs. 2424277 crore during eleventh plan (at 2011-12 prices). To maintain the pace with the developing economies of the world, India needs to speed up planning and implementation.
