#Modinomics 3.0| How Will Massive Infrastructure Investment Impact Modi’s ‘Amritkaal’ Vision?

The final countdown has begun for the Narendra Modi government's thirteenth budget. Experts believe that a larger segment of the budget will be dedicated to infrastructure. Massive investments have been earmarked for highways, seaports, airports, railways, urban connectivity, and smart cities. Under the ambitious Gati Shakti plans, a little over 11 lakh crore rupees was allocated to the infrastructure sector in this year's interim budget, an 11% increase from last year’s 10 lakh crore budget capex. This allocation represents 3.4% of the GDP. According to an SBI report, this amount could be further enhanced by 70,000 crore rupees to 11.8 lakh crore in next week’s budget.
