    Even in the UK, infrastructure needs to be constantly improved in order to maintain productivity and competitiveness. India has one of the worst infrastructures in the world (86th of out 139 for overall quality). Unless this is improved, India cannot reach growth above 9%. Infrastructure is extremely expensive and requires large amounts of capital. The government would need to be prepared/able to invest large amounts. Countries with a savings gap (difference between planned saving and planned investment) won’t be able to do this. However, a lack of infrastructure doesn’t limit growth in all countries. Afghanistan for example is rich in raw materials. Oil TNCs will not be put off from the lack of infrastructure due to the…

    Planned infrastructure in itself enhances growth of the economy in terms of productivity of labour and also places the economy on the pedestal for growth to a developed state. The strategic location and management of space with respect to the structures (physical) in the economy when planned will lead to workers- for instance, being able to put in more labour-hours of work. The effects are very easy to observe in the services sector where lateness of personnel like a health specialist do sometimes result in the death of people who would also have added to output in the economy through the various productive activities. This is because routes to work especially in developing countries- because of the associated congestion, consume almost twenty percent (20%) of labour- hours on average and this in turn affects productivity and output of the economy.…

    Infrastructure

    Is infrastructure a key factor to the growth and stability of the economy? or is it a non-factor and needs not to be maintained and improved to better serve and help improve the economy. Infrastructure in general is the system of transport and communication in a state, region or country. A famous Canadian geographer was once quoted saying, “…any region which has a well-developed transportation and communication network also enjoys a high degree of economic prosperity…” This statement has sparked much controversy between geographers, Politicians, as well as economists. Question is, is there a link between a well-developed infrastructure and economy prosperity (economy growth)? Without a doubt, there is a direct link. Infrastructure facilitates the basic functions of a society that are necessary to transport resources and people, produce and trade goods, provide essential services and ultimately reduce poverty. The direct link can be understood better by looking at the effects of infrastructure. The drawbacks of poor infrastructure lead to high transport cost especially in landlocked areas, thus the economy gets affected. Employment is low where there is poor infrastructure. Lack of adequate infrastructure perpetuates poverty, because it denies possibilities. Affordability, it is relatively expensive to maintain and build. Due to this factors and the analyses from the department of treasury know is an ideal time to increase our investment because, infrastructure investments have long-term economic benefits and create jobs in the short run, there is currently a high level of underutilized resources that can be used to improve and expand our infrastructure. The cost of transportation is lowered for American households, there is a strong demand by the public and businesses for additional transport infrastructure capacity.…

    The benefits of five year planning, especially in a country as big and unpredictable as India, have been questioned by many, and it has often been seen that targets are not met. This method has still not been able to successfully get rid of poverty and the cost overruns in failed or incomplete public sector projects are often too high. Be that as it may, five year plans are still a good yardstick to determine investment and policy priorities.…

    The Indian roads and highways sector has been a key driver of India’s growth story. With a network of over 4.1 million km, Indian roads carry about 60% of the total freight and 85% of total passenger traffic of the country. In the last 5 years, the total road network increased by about 0.8 million km from 3.32 million km at a CAGR of 4.4%, of which national and state highways network increased by 5,182 km and 26,522 km respectively. In addition, during this period, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) alone awarded 19,568 km of projects for widening/rehabilitation on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis. NHAI has set an ambitious target of awarding 8,800 km of national highway projects in 2012-13, which is about 20% higher than in 2011-12. The next few years would see a significant increase in national highway capacity.…
