Infrastructure Scenario
|
|
Credit for India’s rapid growth in the IT software services and ITES/BPO domains must go in part to the availability of a robust infrastructure (telecom, power and Roads) in the country. Relevant telecom facilities are an important prerequisite for the success of the software industry and over the years, the Government has taken steps to ensure that telecom remains a priority area.
Similarly, regular, reliable, uninterrupted power, a major necessity for running IT software and services businesses, has also received substantial attention from the Government. Recent steps to privatize the distribution of power and bring in greater efficiencies and customer centricity in the market, have been welcomed by the ICT industry.
The overall roads and highways scenario in India has also witnessed major improvements over the last few years. Most cities and fist and second tier towns are connected and interlinked to each other. Major investments have gone into the development of highways, both on the side of the central and state Governments. Clearly, the Indian Government has understood the importance of infrastructure to industries such as IT and created a conducive environment for its development and expansion.
