Management Career in Infrastructure Management

Infrastructure development has been the main pillar of global economic development over the last several decades. In India, the thrust has been on creation of basic infrastructure facilities like road and power in new or less developed areas and expansion of the existing network of infrastructure in urban areas.
The infrastructure areas, which have the major share of investment, include energy sector, roads, bridges, rail, airports, telecom, etc.
The pace of urbanization is also expected to accelerate over the next two decades. The 2011 Census shows an increase in the urban population from 27.8 per cent in 2001 to 31.2 per cent in 2011, and it is likely to exceed 40.0 per cent by 2030. This would generate a heavy demand for better quality infrastructure in urban areas, especially water, sewerage, public transport and low cost housing.
