Abstract

As per Consultation Paper on the Projections of Investment in Infrastructure during the 11 th

Plan(2007-2012), the total investment required for the infrastructure sector (at 2006-07 prices) will be
of the order of over Rs. 20,18,700crore (USD 492bilion).The sectoral disaggregates show that 30.5%
of the projected investments will be in power sector, 15.4% in roads and bridges, 13.2% in
telecommunications, 12.6% in railways, 3.7% in ports, 1.7% in airports and the remaining in sectors
like irrigation, gas, storage, water, sanitation etc.
