Infrastructure leap

India is taking a leap towards next generation infrastructure, both in core and social sectors as well as rural and urban areas, #Prime Minister Narendra Modi told international investors at the #Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017 being held 9-13 Jan 2017.

The Prime Minister said the projects include Freight Corridors, Industrial Corridors, High Speed and Metro Rail projects, Logistics Parks, Smart Cities, Coastal Zones, regional airports, water, sanitation and energy initiatives.

“We are committed to promoting renewable energy. We are keen to promote tourism in a big way and this needs tourism infrastructure,” he said.

“India is going to emerge as one of the world’s largest construction markets as it adds millions of homes. All this offers unprecedented opportunities for the investor community,” he told delegates at the annual mega gathering.

“Most of you can work with us in a number of areas such as — from hardware to software; from soft skills to scientific temper; from defence systems to cyber security; and from medicine to tourism.

“I daresay, that India alone offers the opportunities that could rival those of an entire continent. It offers today, the possibilities of a full century.

“And we want to do all this in a cleaner, greener and sustainable way. We are committed to protect the environment and uphold our responsibility towards Nature. Ultimately, this is what India has stood for since ages,” stressed Modi. fii-news.com
