India’s ₹111 lakh crore National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) remains on schedule, with the Economic Survey 2024-25 emphasizing the crucial role of private investment in sustaining long-term momentum.
The government has significantly increased capital expenditure on transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure, boosting productivity and employment. Key projects include:
- High-speed rail corridors under construction
- Expansion of renewable energy projects targeting 500 GW capacity by 2030
- Highway development initiatives, including expressways and multi-modal logistics hubs
The National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) has mobilized ₹3.86 lakh crore so far, with an additional ₹1.91 lakh crore targeted for FY25, primarily through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and asset monetization.
Challenges such as land acquisition delays, regulatory complexities, and financing constraints persist. Experts recommend policy reforms to enhance ease of doing business and accelerate private sector participation.
With India aiming to become a $10 trillion economy by 2035, robust infrastructure investment is expected to be a major driver of long-term economic growth.
