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.
