D&B releases its second publication on infrastructure companies

Dun & Bradstreet, the world's leading provider of global business information, knowledge and insight, today released the second edition of its publication, India's Leading Infrastructure Companies 2008.

The publication profiles 210 companies, which include 117 companies from the construction sector, 71 from power, 12 ports and 10 telecom service providers. It is an attempt to highlight some of the key achievements and issues related to the Indian infrastructure sector and create a valuable ready reference tool on India's leading infrastructure companies.

Speaking at the launch, Dr Manoj Vaish, Dun & Bradstreet India CEO said, "Despite the strides India has taken in the last few years, the current levels of investments in infrastructure are not sufficient to bridge the gap between demand and supply. India stood at 72 on WEF's infrastructure index rating for FY08.

Compared to the previous ranking, India has fallen 10 places, indicating that some of the other countries have progressed much faster. While these numbers indicate the comparative status of infrastructure in various emerging countries, they also indicate dormant investment opportunities residing in this sector in India."

"India's economy is expected to maintain its growth momentum; however, given the current global scenario, we expect some slowdown in growth. A rise in infrastructural spending would ensure long-term sustainability of economic growth and will also create incremental economic opportunities. Infrastructure in India not only needs to be modernized, but also requires substantial addition," he added.

D&B's "India's Leading Infrastructure Companies 2008" was launched by Mr Manu Trivedi, Chief Executive Officer, IL&FS Maritime Infrastructure. A panel discussion titled "Infrastructure Financing in India and The Way Forward" was hosted by D&B to mark the occasion.
