Six Indian infrastructure projects among world's top 100 list

[shree835]

Gujarat International FinanceTec City
Traditional financial services and IT centers may soon be looking over their shoulders at the Gujarat International FinanceTec City (GIFT) in India.This US$20 billion mega- project combines state-of-the-art connectivity, infrastructure and transportation with sustainable, environmentally sensitive growth. Although only two of the planned buildings have been constructed, new Indian prime minister Narendra Modi backs the initiative, which is designed to change the way India thinks about contemporary urban planning.

While China and Brazil focus on heavy rail corridors, India has addressed its road and urban rail networks. Opened in 2012, the 165-kilometer, six-lane yamuna Expressway is India’s longest motorway, connecting the capital New Delhi with Agra and creating a corridor for economic growth. By dramatically reducing the travel time between these two historic cities, the US$1.9 billion project will have a lasting impact on villagers, tourists, traders and working professionals and should expand trade. The expressway also has symbolic value by showcasing the country’s ability to develop world-class infrastructure. As one of India’s largest PPP road financing arrangements, the 36-year concession costs are subsidized by cash flows from land sales along the route.

Ten years after its first line opened, the US$2.3 billion Delhi Metro continues to expand, setting a shining example of how to carry out an effective public works program. Taking heed of the problems experienced by the Kolkata Metro – which was badly delayed and 12 times over budget – the development team utilized innovative procurement and strong project and contract management techniques.

1. The US$4.4 billion Mundra Ultra Mega Power Project is a major, coal-fired thermal power plant serving the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab. A 25-year concession has been led in what is a landmark PPP for the Indian energy sector

Interceptor sewage system
New Delhi has struggled to keep raw sewage from flowing into and polluting theYamuna River. India’s US$323 million Interceptor Sewage System is designed to divert sewage to treatment plants, enabling the river’s water to be used for horticulture and cleaning purposes.

Narmada canal solar
Another innovative initiative in the Indian state of Gujarat conserves water and generates energy.The US$17.9 million Narmada Canal Solar project will place a solar photovoltaic grid over the top of a 5.5-kilometer section of the canal, preventing water from evaporating and producing renewable power. In a form of PPP, Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Limited will build the plant and maintain it for 25 years.

Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) will be the world’s largest international financial services center and IT hub when it is completed in 2017.

 

[TimeTraveller]

Good to hear that......

 

[WAR-rior]

GIFT wont be finished before 2022. The supertalls take minimum 4 years for completion and the basic ground infra will take more 1-2 years for the big boys to start getting constructed.

How there are no big infrastructure development in the Southern Tip of India?

How there are no big infrastructure development in the Southern Tip of India?

Already there are two corridors being constructed in South India.Also there are a lot of new ports coming.

 

[Hareeshu IA MBT]

Narmada project is very innovative . Thanks to 3 time CM and 1 (continues) time PM Modi Ji

 

[Hareeshu IA MBT]

Please do some thing like this in tamilnadu and all other states and interconnect them. It will be the game changer for centuries to come

Well no surprises there, as expected

Why is that? Southern tip has an economy far ahead of other 'tips'

One such project, at the right place and at the right time, can and will change the very course of history of the entire region. As one eminent voice once said, "Sometimes, all it takes is one moment, one event, no matter how ephemeral, to transform everything."

The North East is at one such juncture, awaiting that one moment, that one opportunity to transform itself from a national burden to a national pride. We need one such project to turn the wheels for change, change that will shatter the decades of stagnation, neglect, suffocation and bring about a new world of opportunities.

The biggest problem plaguing the NE isn't insurgency, in fact, that hasn't been the defining problem for nearly a decade now. The biggest problem is unemployment, lack of opportunities. We have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of young men and women, talented, skilled, well educated, but without a suitable job. Most are engaged in jobs below their qualification. The alternative for them: migration to other parts of India. That alternative choice, for many, is not even an option. It's the only way out. In short, there is a severe brain drain from the NE, a crippling brain drain that further hampers development of the states.


We need one such project.

Just six?

Infrastructure boom is going hard these days.

China, India, Islamic World/Arab World etc. are upgrading and building new infrastructure like crazy.

Good for humanity I guess..

Good to see India focusing/taking its infrastructure needs seriously, Since this is the base of any development/industrialization process. Good luck(or should i say work.lol) to India. hopefully you will keep it up.
