| Overview |
|
 |
India has an impressive network of transport
system comprising of rail, road, ship, inland waterway, air etc. |
|
|
The network has expanded rapidly since independence (1947) |
|
|
The growth, though impressive, could not keep pace with
India's rapidly growing domestic and international trade, leading to bottleneck
in infrastructure sector |
|
|
As a result, growth of Indian foreign trade suffered to
some extent, particularly in the 1990s |
|
|
Govt of India, aware of the shortcoming, has taken a number
of steps including a liberal regime for foreign multinational investment
in infrastructure sector |
|
|
An ambitious plan to connect all major Indian cities through
a national grid of 4-lane interstate highways is under implementation |
|
|
Another highlight is Govt incentive for massive private
and and multinational investment in port development |
|
|
The new millennium signals a new era in Indian export when
increasing liberalization and globalization, advent of Internet and e-commerce,
helpful Govt Policy, entry of large number of multinational companies, foreign
investment and host of other favourable factors are going to make India
surge ahead in international trade |
|
|
We intend to disseminate information that is helpful to
all those who have an active interest in Indian business and industry |
