Not only are monetary conditions likely to improve for construction companies in FY2013/14, but the government is also making pertinent efforts to remove bottlenecks that are delaying infrastructure projects in India. India's construction sector is to reach 7.6% growth in FY2013/14.
In 2012 the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) have launched the first version of the credit enhancement scheme or infrastructure bond guarantee scheme.
This risk-sharing facility will partially guarantee INR7.2bn (US$128mn) of rupee-dominated bonds issued by Indian companies to finance infrastructure projects. In 2012, the government announced that it is planning to set up a National Investment Board (NIB) to speed up infrastructure development within the country.
The final draft of the bill now proposes that land for public-private partnership (PPP) and private projects can be acquired with a two-thirds majority from affected landowners - an improvement from the earlier requirement of 80%.
