Pace of Reforms in Infrastructure

 

Telecom: By corporatising the Department of Telecom and breaking the monopoly of vsnl, the Government has ensured that reforms continue to be on the fast track.

Power: The Government is committed to getting three major power projects off the ground by December 31. But the inability to reform sebs is cause for concern.

Roads: The Centre will finalise contracts for building 4,000 km of national highways by December 31, but the condition of state roads and highways remains pathetic.

Airports and Ports: No forward movement on Centre’s decision to privatise five international airports. Corpora-tisation of major ports also on the backburner.
