According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.

The housing market has struggled with the liquidity crisis that struck at the very foundations of the industry, and it has been limping along ever since. Demand has been sluggish; builders are playing it safe as inventories have remained stationary. The sluggish growth of the Indian economy has also been a deterrent along with Financiers being nervous about lending to developers due to increasing NPAs. In 2019, the government announced a slew of policies and measures to provide a shot in the arm for the sector. These measures are expected to be an essential facilitator in bringing back stability within the industry. However, as with all long-term propositions, it will take time to see their impact – most likely from the second half of 2020. The new launch supply across the top seven cities of India increased by 21% in 2019 as against the preceding year. Interestingly, affordable housing contributed significantly to this supply growth and remained upbeat. Thanks to multiple government sops throughout the year.

Hkkjr ljdkj @ Government of India Secretary FOREWORD Transport is considered the lifeline of a country's economy. It impacts the level of output, employment and income within the country at a macroeconomic level and production and consumer costs at microeconomic level. An efficient road transport network coalesces supply and demand sides of the economy while influencing the entire gamut of social and economic activities. 2. Road infrastructure is the most important of all public assets as it provides access to employment, social, health and education services and plays a crucial role in fighting against poverty. Recognizing the importance of a reliable road network in the country and the role it plays in economic development of the nation, Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has undertaken the responsibility of building safer and better roads and highways across the country. India's road connectivity has improved consistently over the years and road transportation has become a focus of rapid development. 3. The Ministry has initiated programmes such as National Highways Development Projects (NHDP), Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme, the Special Accelerated Development Programme in the North East (SARDP-NE) etc. to bridge critical infrastructure gaps in areas of intense economic activity, places of religious and tourist interests, border areas, backward and tribal areas, coastal areas and trade routes. The proactive sector specific policies rolled out by the Ministry, have fast-tracked the rate of construction of highways in the country.

  • Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS) in India
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN (Online): 2319-7064 Index Copernicus Value (2016): 79.57 | Impact Factor (2015): 6.391 Automatic Fare Collection System (AFCS) in India Sulabh Arora1, Shubham Gangwar2 Sachin Punyani3 1Global Business Expansion Services, NEC Technologies India Pvt. Ltd. Advant Navis Business Park, Sector 142, Noida, U.P., India 2MBA Student, Alliance School of Business, Anekal, Bangalore, Karnataka, India 3Solution Architect, Industry Solution Division, NEC Technologies India Pvt. Ltd, IT/ITES SEZ, Sector 135, Noida, U.P., India Abstract: Road infrastructure in a country is one of its lifeline, which requires continuous development and maintenance. The concerned authorities [Figure 1] for toll plazas and roadways development in India are MORTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways), NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) and SHA (State Highway Authorities). After decades of social and technological development, the first RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) based AFCS (Automatic Fare Collection System) in India was implemented on the Ahmedabad-Mumbai National Highway in April 2013. Continuous development led to the implementation of RFID based AFCS in 2014 (named as FASTag). However, due to various factors including lack of awareness, resources and other factors, the target of 200,000 AFCS users till March 2017 fell short. The current status of the RFID based AFCS (FASTag) in India is still below the required level of implementation as each toll plaza having 10 or above lanes only has 1 or 2 FASTag lanes installed This research encompasses the issues and challenges faced by the commuters as well as the authorities regarding the current state of the Indian toll plazas and how RFID based AFCS can benefit them.
