India’s vibrant economy needs matching improvements
in the infrastructure. Power sector will play
important role in the economic development and
hence need focused attention. Ministry of Power
has taken number of legislative and policy initiatives
to expedite power sector development. All these
initiatives provide loads of investment opportunities
to FIIs and other investors. The power sector
reforms if implemented as scheduled will create
large business for power sector equipment manufacturers
and service providers. We can expect a continuous
handsome growth for this sector for at least next
five years.
