Wooing investors to unlock India’s infrastructure potential

The India-Saudi Arab-Europe Economic Corridor proposed during the recent G20 summit to improve connectivity and economic cooperation between India, Saudi Arabia and Europe will be a major shot in the arm for the Indian infrastructure sector, says Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman, ANAROCK Group.

The Indian government has taken concerted steps in recent years to boost infrastructure development and attract greater investment, both domestic and foreign, into the sector.
