What is Infrastructure ?
• Key Driver for the country’s economy
• Highly responsible for propelling country’s overall growth and enjoys
intense focus from government.
• It includes development of things like:
1. Power
2. Bridges
3. Dams
4. Roads
5. Urban
Government Initiatives Taken
• The Road Transport & Highways Ministry has invested around Rs3.17
trillion
• The Shipping Ministry has invested around Rs80000 crores in past two and
a half year.
• Prior to the general elections 2019 Government of India is expected to
invest highly in the infrastructure sector, mainly in highways, renewable
energy and urban transport etc.
• Total 15000 km of target set for national highways and till now 6607 km is
done.
Transportation sector of India
Transportation sector basically includes following networks viz.
• Road network
• Railway network
• Airways network
• Seaways/Waterways network
Road Network Of India
• Existing from last 5000 years
• Currently we have a road network of over 54,72,144 km.
• SECOND largest road network in the world
Types of Roads
• Expressways : They make up approx. 1208km of India’s road networks.
• National Highways : These are the main highways connecting major ports,
state capital & tourist place
These highways can be further classifies into different
parts viz.
1.) GOLDEN QUADILATERAL
2.) PORT CONNECTING HIGHWAYS
3.) STATE HIGHWAYS
4.) MAJOR DISTRICT ROADS
Railway Network
• Indian railway is a state occurred national transport, responsible for rail
transport in India
• 4th largest railway network in the world comprising of 1,19,630 km.
• Carries 8.107 billion passengers annually or more than 22 million
passengers a day
• Also carries 1.01 billion tons of freight annually.
• Longest railway: Kanyakumari Vivek Express
Indian Airways Network
• Major Indian Airline is based in Delhi & focused with several international
services to neighboring countries in Asia.
• State owned Network of India
• India witnessed the highest growth of 23.3% in domestic air travel
• Indian airlines carries nearly 100 million passengers on the domestic
routes
Indian Waterways Network
• India has extensive network of inland waterways in the form of rivers,
canal, backwaters and creeks
• Freight Transportation by waterways is highly under utilized compared to
other countries like US, China, European Union
• About 44 million tons of cargo is moved annually through waterways like
Ganga, Brahmaputra etc.
Energy resources of India.

• An energy resource is something that can produce heat, power life, move
objects, or produce electricity. Matter that stores energy is called a fuel.
Human energy consumption has grown steadily .

TYPES OF ENERGY RESOURCES

• SOLAR ENERGY
• WIND ENERGY
• NUCLAR ENERGY
• HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY
• THERMAL ENERGY
Solar energy in India
• Solar power in India is a fast developing industry. As of 30 June 2017, the
country's solar grid had a cumulative capacity of 13.11 GW.[1] India
quadrupled its solar-generation capacity from 2,650 MW on 26 May 2014
to 12,289 MW on 31 March 2017.
• Growth of solar power in India.

 Nuclear energy in
India
• As of 2016, India has
22 nuclear reactors in operation
in 8 nuclear power plants,
having an installed capacity of
6780 MW and producing a total
of 30,292.91GWh of electricity.
• 6 more reactors are under
construction and are expected
to generate an additional 4,300
MW
 Hydroelectric power in India

• India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the

world.
• Additional smaller hydroelectric power units with a total
capacity of 4,380MW (1.3% of its total utility power generation
capacity).have been installed.
• India’s hydroelectric power potential is estimated at
84,000MW at 60%load factor.
 Thermal energy in India.

• Coal and diesel and used for the generation of thermal power in
India.
• IN FACT Coal is the major source of energy used for the production
of electricity in those areas that either have no nearby water power
sites or are located near coal mines.
• In states like Uttar Pradesh , West Bengal , Bihar ,Orissa and
Madhya Pradesh coal is the major source of power.
• IMPORT OF CRUDE OIL-----$69bn. ( 202.1 million tones ) in 2016-
2017.

RISE IN STEEL DEMAND??
• The boom in infrastructure projects is driving steel demand in India as the
country prepares for national elections to be held in 2019.
• The budget announced by the finance ministry on February 1 introduced
subsidies for the agricultural sector, allowing higher disposable income for
farmers.
• Steel consumption for housing construction is also likely to rise due to
Modi’s Housing for All by 2022 movement to provide slum dwellers with
affordable housing
• Road construction will result in a boost in steel consumption from the
building of bridges, flyovers, culverts, crash barriers.
Road Ahead (Foreign Investments in
Infrastructure)
• Sweden is interested in smart cities development in India.
• The Government of Japan is to invest and offer any other feasible support
for various ongoing as well as upcoming development and infrastructure
projects in north eastern region of India.
