2. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Indian economy is the bright spot in the global landscape, becoming
one of the fastest-growing big emerging market economies in the world. The Indian
infrastructure Research report provides a realistic estimate of investment opportunity in
infrastructure amid the stiff challenges facing the sector. Infrastructure is the second
largest economic activity in India after agriculture, and has been growing rapidly. The
production of industrial machinery has also been on the rise and the increasing flow of
goods has spurred increases in rail, road and port traffic, necessitating further
infrastructure improvements.
The governments policy to increase Private sector has emerged as
a key player in the development of road infrastructure in India. Increased industrial
activities, along with increasing number of two and four wheelers have supported the
growth in road transport infrastructure projects. The Governments policy to increase
private sector participation has proved to be a boon for the infrastructure industry with
many private players entering the business through the public-private partnership (PPP)
model. The Government permitting 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in the road
sector, several foreign companies have formed partnerships with Indian players to
capitalise on the sectors growth. FDI in construction development (townships, housing,
built-up infrastructure, and construction development projects) and construction
(infrastructure) activity sectors stood at US$ 26.23 billion and US$ 28.95 billion,
respectively, between April 2000-September 2022. The governments focus on building
infrastructure of the future has been evident given the slew of initiatives launched
recently. The US$ 1.3 trillion national master plan for infrastructure, Gati Shakti, has
been a forerunner to bring about systemic and effective reforms in the sector, and has
already shown a significant headway.
(a) Road Infrastructure
Road Infrastructure is vital to Indias economy. Roads are a major
mode of Transportation in India today. India has the second largest road network in the
world at 5.89 million km. This net-traffic Road movement has gradually increased over the
years with the improvement in connectivity between cities, towns and villages in the
country.
India currently has the fifth-largest metro network in the world and
will soon overtake advanced economies such as Japan and South Korea to become the
third-largest network. Metro rail network reached 810 kms and is operational in 20 cities
as of September 2022. At almost 20 kms, Mumbai monorail is the third largest route in the
world after China with 98 kms and Japan with 28 kms.
The private sector has emerged as a key player in the development of
road infrastructure in India. Increased industrial activities, along with increasing
number of two and four wheelers have supported the growth in the road transport
infrastructure projects. The governments policy to increase private sector
participation has proved to be a boon for the infrastructure industry with a large number
of private players entering the business network transports more than 64.5 per cent of all
goods in the country and 90 per cent of Indias total passenger through the
public-private partnership (PPP) model.
India plans to spend US$ 1.4 trillion on infrastructure through
‘National Infrastructure Pipeline in the next five years. In FY21,
infrastructure activities accounted for 13% share of the total FDI inflows of US$ 81.72
billion. India will need to construct 43,000 houses every day until 2022 to achieve the
vision of Housing for All by 2022. As of August 22, 2022, 122.69 lakh houses have been
sanctioned, 103.01 lakh houses have been grounded, and 62.21 lakh houses have been
completed, under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna scheme (PMAY-Urban).
India, it is estimated, needs to invest $840 billion over the next 15
years into urban infrastructure to meet the needs of its fast-growing population. This
investment will only be rational as well as sustainable, if we additionally focus on
long-term maintenance and strength of our buildings, bridges, ports and airports.
(b) Solar Energy
In the Union Budget 2022-23, the government allocated Rs. 19,500 crore
(US$ 2.57 billion) for a PLI scheme to boost manufacturing of high-efficiency solar
modules. Non-conventional energy sector received FDI inflow of US$ 14.12 billion between
April 2000-March 2023.
India launched the Mission Innovation CleanTech Exchange, a global
initiative that will help accelerate clean energy innovation. The Central Electricity
Authority estimates Indias power requirement to grow to reach 817 GW by 2030. Most
of the demand will come from real estate and transport sectors. 59 solar parks of
aggregate capacity 40 GW have been approved in India. The worlds largest renewable
energy park of 30 GW capacity solar-wind hybrid project is under installation in Gujarat.
In August 2022, Norfund, who manage the Norwegian Climate Investment
Fund, and KLP, Norways biggest pension company, signed an agreement to buy a 49%
share of a 420 MW solar power plant in Rajasthan for Rs. 2.8 billion (US$ 35.05 million).
The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) implemented large-scale central auctions for
solar parks and has awarded contracts for 47 parks with over 25 GW of combined capacity.
3. OPPORTUNITIES
Infrastructure sector is a key driver for the Indian economy. The
sector is highly responsible for propelling Indias overall development and enjoys
intense focus from Government for initiating policies that would ensure time-bound
creation of world class infrastructure in the country. Infrastructure sector includes
power, bridges, dams, roads, and urban infrastructure development. The infrastructure
sector has become the biggest focus area for the Government of India. India has to enhance
its infrastructure to reach its 2025 economic growth target of US$ 5 trillion.
Budget 2023-24 is complemented with the continuation of the 50-year
interest-free loan to state governments for one more year to spur investment in
infrastructure and to incentivize them for complementary policy actions, with a
significantly enhanced outlay of
1.3 lakh crore (US$ 16 billion).
In Budget 2023-24, capital investment outlay for infrastructure is
being increased by 33% to Rs.10 lakh crore (US$ 122 billion), which would be 3.3 per cent
of GDP. As per the Union Budget 2023-24, a capital outlay of Rs. 2.40 lakh crore (US$ 29
billion) has been provided for the Railways, which is the highest ever outlay and about 9
times the outlay made in 2013-14.
According to the data released by the Department for Promotion of
Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), FDI inflow in the Indian non -conventional energy
sector stood at US$ 12.57 billion between April 2000-June 2022. More than Rs. 5.2 lakh
crore (US$ 70 billion) has been invested in Indias renewable energy sector since
2014.
India has set a target to reduce the carbon intensity of the
nations economy by less than 45% by the end of the decade, achieve 50% cumulative
electric power installed by 2030 from renewables, and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by
2070. Low-carbon technologies could create a market worth up to $80 billion in India by
2030.
4. THREATS
Factors, which can threaten the business model and the Companys
market standing, emerge from changes in government policies, safety and security concerns
and so on. Some possible threats include: ??Market competition: The Company competes with
a number of Indian and international infrastructure operators in acquiring concessions for
both new and existing road projects. The competition, which had increased manifold in the
past decade, has now eased out relatively in the last two years with market players
turning cautious, leading to more rational bids. Considering the ever-changing market
competition, the Company adapts its policies and procedures to ensure a sustained business
model. With the government keen on promoting EPC contracts, the duplicity of participants
in both the EPC and the PPP sector are expected to reduce considerably, with very few and
established players remaining in the PPP sector. There are also giant companies in the
competition with highly technologic equipment which make hurdles to your Company to get
tender at best price. ??Our profitability and result of operations may be adversely
affected in the event of increases in the prices of raw materials, subcontracting costs,
and costs of consumables and spares or other inputs, or a delay in the supply of raw
materials. ??Working capital cycle has been lengthened mainly due to overextended
receivables, which has affected the cash flow position of companies in the sector. The
Sector continues to face rising material and labor costs. High inflations have diminished
private sector investments in capital expenditure. These along with the high interest
rates have led to drops in margins. ??Infrastructure financing has been a major problem
particularly in the roads sector and banks needs to make modifications to meet financing
needs of road sector. Long-term funding has been a problem for banks as it has to borrow
short-term to lend long-term projects. Funds are required and so is innovation. Long term
market instability and uncertainty may damage the opportunities and prevent the expansion.
5. OUTLOOK
The history of infrastructure Industry in India has witnessed higher
growth and will continue to be so because of the following reasons. Sectors like power
transmission, roads & highways and renewable energy will drive the investments in the
coming years. India must enhance its infrastructure to reach its 2025 economic growth
target of US$ 5 trillion. Indias population growth and economic development requires
improved transport infrastructure, including through investments in roads, railways, and
aviation, shipping and inland waterways. The government has also suggested an investment
of $750 billion to strengthen railway infrastructure and envisioned the Maritime India
Vision 2030 which estimates massive investments in world-class infrastructure development
at Indian ports. India, it is estimated, needs to invest $840 billion over the next 15
years into urban infrastructure to meet the needs of its fast-growing population. This
investment will only be rational as well as sustainable, if we additionally focus on
long-term maintenance and strength of our buildings, bridges, ports and airports. It is
expected that by 2040, around 49% of the total electricity will be generated by renewable
energy as more efficient batteries will be used to store electricity, which will further
cut the solar energy cost by 66% as compared to the current cost. Use of renewables in
place of coal will save India Rs. 54,000 crore (US$ 8.43 billion) annually. Around 15,000
MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity is expected to be added between 2020-25.
