Given the current infrastructure spend at 5% of the GDP; India will need to double its annual allocation on this sector just to sustain the present rate of growth. An investment of close to US$ 500 billion is needed in the industry over the next five years to fill this gap. About 30% of this will be accounted for by private sector investments.

Changes in economic policy have created an environment that is conducive to private sector involvement. The credible deal flow over the past few years and the spate of successful IPOs of infrastructure companies have added to the lure of the sector. A direct outcome of this has been the launch of several India-infrastructure focused funds.
