I've done BEST, absolutely fab. re: S.Asia.
They do x2 Delhi Metro is impressive, but BEST needs to move on too.
Gurgaon's private Rapid metro's Golf Course Rd.
And hopefully same Golf Course Rd.'s extension.
It's as good as it gets for me, on par with Hafeez Contractor's architecture .
My Fave Upcoming Projects:
- Nariman Point makeover.
- Delhi-Mumbai Corridor.
- ITIR's
- River linking.
- Hyderabad's upcoming L&T metro hopefully beats Dubai metro ou.
Meanwhile, I was stunned to find out that India's fabled IT-ITES
industry attracted a bit more then $ 2 Billion FDI between the golden decade of 2000-2010.
Peanuts, imagine the upside now.
IT-ITES @ $ 108-125 Billion exports, are hitting 25-35 % of all $ 300 Billion exports, and all sectoral exports are trending up. Look at it this way, India's got a $ Trillion ongoing infrastructure spend for another 3-7 yrs. Target 2020.
- $ 108 Billion/yr. IT-ITES is 13 % down payment on said $ 1 Trillion/3-7 yrs.
Should be even less re: multi-lateral lending agencies like Japan's JICA or IMF, ADB, Russia, China or Gulf, EU or Asean Sovereign Funds, so yearly payments are ziltch considering infra. projects are paying projects, cater to huge pent up demand and long term loans can always be re-jigged to better business models. JICA funded Delhi Metro's been profitability from the get go meant easy borrowing terms followed spontaneously.
Ok to call infra. seed projects that turn into real-estate windfalls. For eg. CIDCO's Navi Mumbai or dlf's Gurgaon, started during socialist starvation days, are real-estate bonanza's. Also, exports are either niche or sunrise items so keep growing, imports are traditional energy and electronics which keep shrinking with and huge local paydirts coming on stream and upcoming indigenisation or replacement factories. What happens when all the highway and expressway Co.'s leverage off-the-shelf technology to harvest solar power and rainwater from their projects?
Idea! Wanna make it big? - Build your own city along Mumbai-Delhi Corridor a la Gurgaon, be as $ mega billionaire rich as dlf boss.

The economist in Dr. MMS has kicked Indian PSU shops in shape.
Unbelievably, there's been under-reporting on the govt. whipped PSU turn around. I can feel the vibe's changed. For PSU's, it's no more fashionable to be over-weight, flatulent and bleeding at the same time. There's even been some block-busters like Maruti-Suzuki, Indian Railways and even Air India. Comments?
