One of the key challenges for the Indian Infrastructure development today is the creation of a pipeline of new projects, a target of US$1 trillion of infrastructure investments in 12th Plan (2012-17), implies annual project completion worth US$200 billion and with a project life cycle of 4 years, at any point there should be ongoing infrastructure projects to the tune of US$800 billion. And to make this a success the public and the private machinery has to operate in close congruence. At the same time, this level of development independent of who does it entails several challenges and the key being deficit of skilled labor, lack of availability of modern equipment, process of approvals and soon constraints in supply of natural resources. There have been significant developments and would continue to happen in the midst of this industry context.

Some of the key segments of great importance include power, road, railways, airport, ports and public delivery systems. With encouraging government reforms for inviting private sector and interest from global investors to look at long term positions in Indian infrastructure space, we have invested significant time in building our specialized practice on each of these verticals. Apart from our service experts team, our industry experts have the understanding of the drivers and regulatory requirements of each of these industries. This along with our transaction execution experience, places us at a very good position to raise both debt and equity for infrastructure projects.
