Infrastructure

Infrastructure is the backbone of any modern day economy. Be it boom time or a period of recession, the need for multi-skilled workforce in the infrastructure development and maintenance industry is perennial.

In the next two decades, India is expected to double its economic infrastructure in terms of roads, telecommunication systems, water supply, power generation, ports and airports. According to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, India's infrastructure and transportation sectors require nearly $400 billion USD investment over the next 7-8 years to develop world-class infrastructure that is so critical to meet India's growth targets.

Projects like the Golden Quadrilateral (joining four metropolitan cities viz. Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai through an 8-lane mega highway), Metro Rail and Sky Bus are inviting use of sophisticated and breakthrough technologies and multi-skilled work force.

Moreover, the Government of India is taking initiatives to further open up this sector to private players in order to boost growth and development.

The employability in this sector is very high with openings at multiple levels in the following types of companies:

• Infrastructure providers
• Core Construction companies

• Real Estate companies
• Urban Infrastructure Development bodies
• IT companies
• Members of various Trade Associations
• Consultants/Advisory firms (Technical, Management, Finance)
• Banking/ Financial institutions
