India's relentless march towards infrastructure development has been a subject of global admiration and intrigue at the recent G20 summit. Reflecting on the sheer diversity of infrastructure projects in India, Hemant Kanoria, former chairman of Srei Group of Companies, painted a vivid picture of an ever-evolving sector, with projects spanning transportation, energy, and urban development. “The landscape includes expansive road networks, railway modernization, airport expansions, and a surge in renewable energy initiatives. India's aspirations also encompass the creation of smart cities and affordable housing complexes,” said Kanoria. However, the industry veteran highlighted a stark reality - the mismatch between the pace of infrastructure growth and the available avenues for financing.
