Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 02/02/2015 --We remain conservative towards the near-term growth outlook for India's construction and infrastructure sectors despite the improvement in growth in Q1 2014/15. Even though the results of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections have increased the likelihood for policy formation and execution as well as greater coordination between ministries, other factors dampening construction and infrastructure activity are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

Key Trends And Developments

- The new administration has made significant progress in introducing reforms and encouraging growth in the power sector since assuming office in May 2014, and we expect to see results of this progress in 2015.

This is in line with our view for the administration to reduce red tape for the power sector, and we expect to see growth in 2015 pickup as the turnaround time for projects is reduced. The government has also proposed giving power utilities a 10-year tax holiday and reductions in import duties of generation equipment in the FY2014/15 budget.
- In July 2014, the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to develop 200 low-cost airports in Tier-II and Tier-III towns across India in the next few years. The government has already identified 50 such cities across the country under the first phase of this development. The Airports Authority of India formulated a cost-effective model to provide air connectivity to these smaller towns. Civil Aviation Minister P Ashok Gajapathi Raju presented plans to develop 50 no-frills airports in several states of the country and greenfield airports, which are in the pipeline for Navi Mumbai, Goa, Pune,...
