Infrastructure boom expected to continue
President Draupadi Murmu has laid great emphasis on the development of infrastructure in her speech in the joint session of the 18th Lok Sabha. During this, she not only presented the details of the work being done for the development of infrastructure in the country, but also expressed her resolve to continue it in the coming days and said, “Work is going on on many schemes like Vande Metro. My government is working with the goal that India’s public transport should be the best in the world… Infrastructure development has emerged as a new picture of the changing India in this direction… Today a network of national highways and expressways is being laid in India… My government has decided to start feasibility studies for bullet train corridors in North, South and East India… For the first time, work has started on such a wide scale on the development of inland waterways in the country” The President’s address is actually prepared by the Central Government itself. If seen from this perspective, his speech indicates that the government’s focus on infrastructure development will continue not only in the upcoming budget but also for the next 5 years. Obviously, the companies associated with this sector and the mutual funds investing in them will also benefit from this.
