Policy Regime
The Union Government has “radically liberalized” the FDI regime and opened up multiple sectors including Infrastructure for 100% (percent) FDI. Most of the sectors would be under automatic approval route, except a small negative
list. With these changes, India is now the most open economy in the world for FDI.
Major Players of the Industry
It was in 1978, when Mr. G M Rao started off with a small jute mill, and established, over 28 years later, what is known today as the GMR Group. GMR is today a major player in the infrastructure sector, with world class projects in India and abroad. India has one of the largest road networks in the world, spanning a total of 5.6 million kilometres (kms). Production of commercial vehicles increased to 894,551 in 2017-18 from 567,000 in 2009-10 at a CAGR of 5.87 per cent. The private sector has emerged as a key player in the development of road infrastructure in India. Increased industrial activities, along with increasing number of two and four wheelers have supported the growth in the road transport infrastructure projects. The government’s policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon for the infrastructure industry with a large number of private players entering the business through
the public-private partnership (PPP) model. There are some most known companies given below
