SWOT Analysis of Infrastructure Industry in India


Project Report on SWOT Analysis of Infrastructure Industry in India



SWOT of Infrastructure Industry in India
  Analysis
  
Strengths of India’s Infrastructure Industry

Proliferating domestic and offshore infrastructure funds target the Indian infrastructure market, driven by strong demand from the transport, power, urban infrastructure and irrigation segments.
India's government is keen to facilitate private sector participation in infrastructure.
Application of takeout financing boosted in India, potentially unlocking around INR300bn (US$6.2bn) in bank debts, which could be used to finance infrastructure developments in India.

Weaknesses of India’s Infrastructure Industry

Lack of a structured regulatory and policy framework, or well-defined operating and financing regulations - public-private partnership (PPP) framework and regulations are inconsistent and lack transparency.
The country is overly bureaucratic, thereby delaying the absorption of funds and deterring investors.
There are low levels of domestic expertise, stemming from a shortage of skilled project managers and engineers.
There is low mechanisation and limited use of modern technological equipment.
Downgrades to investment targets under the 11th Five-Year Plan, especially in transport infrastructure, which has been revised down by 20% in value terms.
Limited long-term borrowing capability on the domestic banking sector due to an immature bond market.

Opportunities of India’s Infrastructure Industry

Opportunities for greenfield projects across all infrastructure sub-sectors.
There is the opportunity for the domestic industry to become more organised, with the creation of more large firms through organic growth and acquisitions. This would improve overall  construction quality.
SWOT Analysis - Continued
Strong population growth and a growing economy is fuelling demand for infrastructure.

The government is looking to attract private companies to invest in infrastructure through PPPs.
12th Five-Year Investment plan targeting US$1trn in investment, with 50% to come from the private sector.

Significant investment in electricity generating capacity with ambitious targets, including 470 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power by 2050, 20GW of solar power by 2022 and 20GW of wind capacity by 2020.

Threats
 India may prove unable to cope with its burgeoning population, which has passed the 1bn mark, posing a major threat to the economy and political situation.
Destructive flooding affects productivity.
Obstacles such as red tape, lack of transparency and bureaucratic complexities will threaten implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan.
Land clearance issues cause major delays to infrastructure and construction projects.

An inadequate system for compensation and environmental approvals is slowing investments and, in some cases, preventing projects from progressing.
