Until 2005, the road construction market was dominated by public sector companies

However, the emergence of private players over the last decade has made the road construction market fragmented and

Notes: FDI - Foreign Direct Investment

Increasing private

sector participation

• Government policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon to the

infrastructure industry with a large number of private players entering the business through

the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model

• The type of PPP models used in road projects are Build Operate Transfer (BOT ) toll and

BOT annuity

Partnerships between

Indian and foreign firms

• With the Government of India permitting 100 per cent FDI in the road sector, most foreign

companies have formed partnerships with Indian players to participate in the sector’s

growth story

India’s renewed focus

on infrastructure

• Infrastructure is the key to supporting double-digit GDP growth in India during the medium-

to long-term

• The government has hence made infrastructure development a key policy issue and plans

to spend USD1.0 trillion during FY13-17 on the sector

Success of India’s Five

Year plans

• Through Five-Year Plans, India has increased the length of national highways from 21,378

kilometres during the late 1940s to 71,772 kilometres by the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan

(FY08-12)

• The total length of national highways is expected to touch 85,000 kilometres by the end of

12th Five Year Plan
