...Sarah Allmond, Kamal Assaf, Doug Bice, and Renee Burkart Dr. Mike Marzano Logistics Management February 21, 2013 Infrastructure in India India’s port, road, and rail networks need massive capital investment. The ports in India are operating beyond their intended capacity in spite of the construction of a number of new sites. Moreover, there are bottlenecks when clearing goods from customs: the time required to clear goods in India is twice that of South Korea and Thailand and three times that of the average for members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Since most ports are overstretched and the time taken to obtain customs clearance is quite long, companies in India hold large inventories. Poor road and rail networks exacerbate these problems. India is presently ranked 17th in the maritime nations of the world. About 95% by volume and 70% by value of the contry’s trade is carried on through meritime transport. The country’s coastline comprises 12 major ports (Chennai, Ennore, Haldia, Pradip, Kandla, Kochi, Kolkata, Marmagao, Mumbai, New Manglaore, Tuticorin and Visakhapatnam) and 187 minor and intermediate ports. FDI up to 100% under the automatic route is permitted in the construction and maintenance of prots and harbours, maritime transport services and internal waterways transport services. The department of Shipping is also planning to enact a Shipping Trade Practices Act, which is presently in the daraft stage. The government...

...services have also evinced signs of recovery with easing of supply bottlenecks in certain sectors and demand recovery in others. The robust growth momentum in telecommunications, particularly the wireless segment, continues with monthly additions exceeding 17.6 million connections. In the midst of the worstever slowdown in the history of world civil aviation, even the modest levels of growth in India are indicative of resilience. Core industries like power, coal and other infrastructure like ports and roads are also reviving. Available evidence points to a steady revival of flows of investible resources. However, the levels of broadband penetration, capacity creation in some crucial infrastructure sectors and the state of development of markets for longterm finance remain causes for concern. There is need to develop infrastructure to complement and sustain the economic growth momentum. Efforts—legislative, administrative and executive—are on to minimize the infrastructure deficit, ameliorate bottlenecks in completion of projects and nurture core industrial intermediates and infrastructure services. 10 CHAPTER 10.2 The stimulus measures announced by the national authorities worldwide to combat the economic slowdown contained infrastructure buildup plans. In line with the rest of the world, the Union Budget for 2009-10 substantially stepped up allocation for many infrastructure sectors over the Budget estimates for the previous year, especially for the National Highways Development...

Prologue RITES Journal 22.1 July 2009 Indian Infrastructure : Role of RITES Introduction Much of the industrialized world is currently in the grip of recession due to the ongoing global financial crises (GFC) – allegedly triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis of USA in 2007.

...CONSTRUCTION SECTOR IN INDIA HISTORY Indian Construction Industry is highly fragmented. There are mostly unorganized players in the industry which work on the subcontracting basis. As the Construction activity being labor intensive, construction companies have been mainly focusing on mechanization over past few years. Consequently, growth in quantum of labourers required has declined from 1.6% in FY 04 to 0.9% in FY 08. Projects in Construction industry are mostly working capital intensive. | | The Indian construction industry forms an integral part of the economy and a conduit for a substantial part of its development investment, is poised for growth on account of industrialization, urbanization, economic development and people's rising expectations for improved quality of living. Construction constitutes 40% to 50% of India's capital expenditure on projects in various sectors such as highways, roads, railways, energy, airports, irrigation, etc and is the second largest industry in India after agriculture. It accounts for about 11% of India's GDP. For the first five-year plan, construction of civil works was allotted nearly 50 % of the total capital outlay. In 1954 National Industrial Development Corporation (NIDC), was set up in the public sector which is the first professional consultancy company. Then later many architectural, design engineering and construction companies were set up in the public sector (Indian Railways Construction Limited (IRCON), National Buildings...

...Analysis of Infrastructure Sector Infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city or area, including the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function. Infrastructure is the backbone of an economy. The various types of infrastructure are roads, airports, ports, housing, cold chain, warehousing, telecom towers and allied services, container freight stations etc. In the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report for 2011-2012, India was ranked 89th out of 142 countries for its infrastructure. The report also criticized the transport, ICT and energy infrastructure labelling it as “largely insufficient and ill adapted to the needs of business”. Market Size: The Indian power sector has an investment potential of $US 250billion in the next 4-5 years, providing immense opportunities in power generation, distribution, transmission and equipment. The Indian railways have had an increase of 12.57% in revenues from last year. FDI received in construction development sector from April 2000 to January 2015 stood at US$ 24,028.19 million. The number of export and import containers moving through major ports in India expanded 7.34% year over year from April to October 2014. Government Estimation and Plans: Sustained increase in infrastructure is expected to be one of the crucial factors for sustaining strong growth in the economy. Infrastructure investment is expected to surge from 8.9% of GDP in FY15 to 12.1% of GDP in...

A professional working in the field of logistics management is called a logistician. Logistics, as a business concept, evolved only in the 1950s. This was mainly due to the increasing complexity of supplying one's business with materials, and shipping out products in an increasingly globalized supply chain, calling for experts in the field who are called Supply Chain Logisticians. This can be defined as having the right item in the right quantity at the right time at the right place for the right price and to the right target customers (consumer); and it is the science of process having its presence in all sectors of the industry.

This essay will provide a critical perspective on how international trade and trade regulations function and by this rise following questions: Which consequences have the international trade and trade regulation had in the given periods? Who benefits from the international trade and trade regulation? And lastly, is international trade and trade regulation only designed to benefit one part of the world - the West? Why are some people rich and some poor? This question raises a debate with several of arguments of why that is. Some people believe it to be due to the poor’s behaviour and others sees it as a result of the relationship between the poor and the rich (O’Brian & Williams 2014: 43). I do not believe that poor people’s behavior is the one to blame. I think we need to go back in time and see what marks...

...Chidambaram #Service sector #Unorganised Sector 22 0 8 16 CommentsEmailPrint By R Vaidyanathan The growth rate of our economy has declined from around 8-9 percent in the middle of the decade to around 5-6 percent now. Experts are wondering why this is happening. Government economists such as C Rangarajan and Raghuram Rajan ascribe this to the global slowdown as well as delayed decisions in acquiring land and providing clearances for major infrastructure projects. They are right – but only to a very small extent. The main drivers of growth in our economy are services, whose share in GDP is around 65 percent. Whenever the term ‘service sector’ is mentioned, the immediate recall is about information technology and companies like Infosys or Wipro. Factually, all software-related activities come under business services, which itself is less than 5 percent per cent of our national income. The services sector covers a much larger canvas and is not only the fastest growing, but also a big generator of jobs. In Table 1, we have shown the activities that constitute the services sector. As can be seen, this sector encompasses diverse activities carried on by large multinationals as well as roadside entrepreneurs. Normally construction is included in the secondary sector along with manufacturing in developed countries. But given the labour-intensive nature of the construction business and the use of small contractors to build houses, we have included it in the service sector; the national...

...History of Indian economy Economic history of India begins with the Indus Valley civilization. The Indus civilization's economy appears to have depended significantly on trade, which was facilitated by advances in transport. The political unity and military security allowed for a common economic system and enhanced trade and commerce, with increased agricultural productivity. During this1500 period, India is estimated to have had the largest economy of the ancient and medieval world between the 1st and 17th centuries AD, controlling between one third and one fourth of the world's wealth . India has followed central planning for most of its independent history, which have included extensive public ownership, regulation, red tape, and trade barriers. After the 1991 economic crisis, the central government launched economic liberalization. India has turned towards a more capitalist system and has emerged as one of the fastest growing large economies of the world. CURRENT INDIAN ECONOMY: The Indian economy has continuously recorded high growth rates and has become an attractive destination for investments. A. Indian economy is expected to grow at around 7.5 per cent B.
