  • Mumbai Infrastructure: What Is and What Will Be?
    MUMBAI INFRASTRUCTURE: WHAT IS AND WHAT WILL BE? Infrastructure development acts as a cornerstone for any city in order to determine the growth trajectory and to become an economic and real estate powerhouse. While Mumbai is the financial capital of India, its infrastructure has not been able to keep pace with the sharp rise in its demographic and economic profile. The city’s road and rail infrastructure is under tremendous pressure from serving a population of more than 25 million people.

    CONSTRUCTION & INFRASTRUCTURE January 5, 2016 Bridging the chasm …long road ahead Given the government thrust on the infrastructure investment, we witnessed that over the last two years project awarding picked up from the urban infrastructure segments like Roads, Buildings, and Metro projects. We believe that capex on urban infrastructure projects will continue given the strong bid pipeline from road and metro projects. The issues with respect to land acquisition and weak balance sheets of infrastructure companies got addressed as the government increased capex spending on EPC mode rather BOT/PPP projects which, helped companies raise funds; as well as funding from multilateral agencies also increased Given the importance of government spending in driving the order books of our coverage universe as well as the increasing importance of the states in becoming enablers of growth, we have analyzed certain states which form 50% of India’s GDP. Our analysis reveals that the states are easing bottlenecks with respect to land acquisition and other clearances and infrastructure capex rather than industrial capex remains the core focus Nitin Arora Research Analyst [email protected] +91 22 66242491 Kushan Parikh Research Associate [email protected] +91 22 66121431 INDUSTRY REPORT Construction & Infrastructure India Equity Research | Sector Report Contents Bridging the chasm …long road ahead ...................................................................................................................................................
