“Following the presentation of the Union Budget 2014-15 in Parliament, the Government has communicated an aim at higher growth, lower inflation, and a prudent policy stance in the Financial Year 2014-15. The government has considered PPP model as one of the key driving parameters for growth. We welcome the Infrastructure Investment Trust being set up to finance infra projects as we believe this will be crucial in terms of speeding up the completion of pending projects and make way for new ones. The announcement of 100 smart cities is a bold and encouraging step by the government and will open up huge market potential for builders, engineers, architects and companies, who work closely with the building and infrastructure industry in India. Metro rail services to Lucknow and Ahmedabad, national industrial corridor to link cities, development of archaeological sites send out a strong message about the seriousness of this government in pushing for better connectivity and superior facilities for better public life.”
