India’s infra evolution paves the way for economic growth

After years of a weak investment cycle, a sharp pickup in infrastructure investments in India is imminent. While infrastructure creation is necessary, it needs to be sustainable as well, writes Abhinav Sharma, Fund Manager, Tata Asset Management.

It is the fifth largest economy in the world and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid out his goal of India being a developed nation by 2047.
