Ashish Gupta & Amir Ullah Khan, India’s Infrastructural Challenges

Nilanjan BANIK

Abstract


Abstract. India's congested road transport system, inordinate delays in railway passenger and freight movements, inefficient and lengthy turnaround time at ports, and fast-growing but overstretched airport sector all add to significant capacity constraints. According to experts, it also hurts the country’s potential growth trajectory by as much as 4 per cent to 5 per cent. Thus, infrastructure development can help remove some of these inefficiencies and contribute immediately to economic expansion through its multiplier effect and support more robust long-term growth.
