Even agencies such as S&P Global Ratings feel the Indian growth story is pretty solid. It has praised the Indian government’s handling of the economy and its effort to push for the growth potential as well.

But in order to sustain this growth, India needs to focus more into its infrastructure sector.

In fact the Indian Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Shipping, Mr. Nitin Gadkari has indicated that the government will line up Rs.25 Lakh Crore for the highway and shipping sector over the next five years.
