Infrastructure development in India offers huge potential as there is still so much to do! Especially in terms of road security, India needs to significantly scale up its infrastructure.

If you haven’t been in India, this video from BCC showing two Brits driving in India gives you a glimpse of what is happing on Indian roads:

Companies from the developed world can play an important role when scaling up India’s infrastructure

Traffic management and traffic security are still very underdeveloped in India. Technologies and solutions as per European standards are in high demand. With a population of over 1.2 billion people, increasing international trade, industrialization and urbanization, traffic on India’s roads, rails, air and see will play a vital role for India’s future economic growth. The Indian Government has therefore allocated a 5 year budget of 90 billion USD for road construction (out of over one trillion (!) USD for overall infrastructure projects).

Infrastructure in India: India’s road network

  • Indias road network is 3.3 million kilometer long and one the biggest in the world
  • But only 6% of India’s roads are in an acceptable condition
  • Many roads are not asphalted, have only one lane and in many cases there is a total lack of traffic security
  • 40% of Indian villages are not connected to a road network

Important road infrastructure projects in India

  • “Golden Quadrilateral” (5845 km)
  • North South & West-East Corridor (7242 km)
  • Transformation of 14.000 km from two lane roads to four lane roads

Outlook of Indias road construction sector 

  • 12-15% growth of the passenger traffic
  • 15-18% growth of the cargo traffic
The delegates visited the Traffic Infra Tech trade fair on the first day, the second day b2b meetings and a visit to one of India’s biggest infrastructure company “L&T” took place.
Eurobrands India carried out a market research on India’s infrastructure sector, organized b2b meetings, held a seminar on doing business in India and concluded the three day visit with a Mumbai tour with focus on urban planning, infrastructure and architecture.
