India has the second largest road network in the world, spanning a total of 4.7 million kilometres. Roads in India bear about 85 per cent of the country's passenger traffic and 60 per cent of freight traffic.
The value of total roads and bridges infrastructure is expected to touch US$ 19.2 billion by 2017. The key factors responsible for driving demand in the sector have been the rise in two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles and increasing freight traffic. Rising per-capita incomes and a growing middle class coupled with easier access to finance and a wider price range of vehicles have boosted car sales. During 2007-14, the sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are expected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 and 13.5 per cent to touch 3.5 and 0.85 million respectively.
Infrastructure spending by the government is expected to touch US$ 1 trillion in the next Five-Year Plan (FY13-17). To promote the sector, the government has allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) under the automatic route. Development of national highways through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is expected to remain the key focus area for the government. During the next five years, investments through PPP are expected to be over USD41 billion for national highways and around USD10 billion for state highways.

Notes: FDI - Foreign Direct Investment
Increasing private
sector participation
• Government policy to increase private sector participation has proved to be a boon to the
infrastructure industry with a large number of private players entering the business through
the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model
• The type of PPP models used in road projects are Build Operate Transfer (BOT ) toll and
BOT annuity
Partnerships between
Indian and foreign firms
• With the Government of India permitting 100 per cent FDI in the road sector, most foreign
companies have formed partnerships with Indian players to participate in the sector’s
growth story
India’s renewed focus
on infrastructure
• Infrastructure is the key to supporting double-digit GDP growth in India during the medium-
to long-term
• The government has hence made infrastructure development a key policy issue and plans
to spend USD1.0 trillion during FY13-17 on the sector
Success of India’s Five
Year plans
• Through Five-Year Plans, India has increased the length of national highways from 21,378
kilometres during the late 1940s to 71,772 kilometres by the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan
(FY08-12)
• The total length of national highways is expected to touch 85,000 kilometres by the end of
12th Five Year Plan
