Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called an infrastructure meet in the backdrop of weak GDP numbers of the last quarter to review the status of sector and push the slowing growth. In the meet he is expected to issue directions for scaling up infrastructure targets and will take stock of such sectors at a time when projects worth Rs 1.46 lakh crore are pending because of absence of regulatory clearances. Apart from various other important decisions, the meet is expected to finalise an Airline Hub Policy and give a push to setting up of 17 new airports, including seven international ones.
Airline Hub Policy, which has been formulated on concern of loss of outbound air traffic from India to adjoining hub airports such as Dubai and Singapore would focus on making India an aviation hub by expanding both regional and international air connectivity through, various steps which include making visa processing easier so that more passengers fly from India to destinations in Europe and America.
Though, the complete agenda of the meet is not disclosed but it has been reported that the meeting on infrastructure will also consider launch of bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, elevated rail corridor in Mumbai and starting of two new major ports and setting up targets, at least three times higher than last year in the ports sector.
