economic downturn. A lot of economies have adopted the strategy to develop the infrastructural facilities for a fiscal thrust. In these cases, such economies have used infrastructure spending as a counterbalance against slowing economic activity and lower consumption.
Adopting this strategy has helped the Indian infrastructure sector perform comparatively better at a time when the other sectors were exhibiting slow growth. Presently, the infrastructure sector in India accounts for 26.7% of India's industrial output and is therefore an effective tool to balance the economy. Over the last four years the infrastructure industry in India recorded a growth rate of almost 8.5 percent.
Will the next decade make the India Inc story strong with further development in the infrastructure sector? Providing an economic stimulus and also connecting different economies should be the driving force behind this. The government also has been focusing on infrastructure spending heavily and the last five years has been worthwhile in this regard. India is home to several top class infrastructure companies that have over the years established a reputation for themselves in the sector. In the last ten years or so the infrastructure companies in India have been faring pretty well and have surpassed all expectations. A recent survey on the infrastructure companies in India reveals that the sample of 22 companies, based on consolidated revenues have been able to withstand the global meltdown. The combined revenues of these 22 Indian infrastructure companies have surged up by almost 32.3% in the last two years, mostly due to the initiatives taken by the government.
