INFRASTRUCTURE STATISTICS PUBLICATION 2014 [September 2014]

[excerpt]

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today. To sustain this

economic growth we must have a matching infrastructure. For better infrastructure

investment plans we need to anticipate the future requirement and capacity. Otherwise

the infrastructure becomes inadequate in a few years leading to the same gap as before.

For effective investment policies we must target where needed and in a holistic manner.

Policies made in isolation ignoring interconnected infrastructure may not give desired

results leading to investment failures. Government’s commitment to improve and

expand infrastructure in the country is reflected in the investment in infrastructure

during twelfth plan. The total investment in infrastructure during twelfth plan is

projected at Rs. 5574663 crore as compared to Rs. 2424277 crore during eleventh plan

(at 2011-12 prices).

 

For effective infrastructure planning and investment decisions a comprehensive

database on infrastructure is needed. To meet this requirement, Central Statistics Office

has compiled infrastructure statistics under six major sub sectors of infrastructure viz.

Transport, Energy, Communication, Drinking Water and Sanitation, Irrigation and

Storage. This is the third issue of the publication providing data that would enable to

assess the status of current infrastructure, its adequacy and project the future

requirements. This issue of the publication is in two volumes. Volume I includes

metadata and key indicators on Infrastructure statistics and volume II gives state

profiles for each infrastructure sub sector with time series data for latest five years

along with graphical analysis, wherever possible.
