This document examines the impact of infrastructure on the Indian economy. It discusses how infrastructure is defined and the objectives and need for the study. The methodology uses secondary data from various sources. Infrastructure is shown to be important for improving living standards, increasing GDP, economic growth, and job opportunities. However, developing infrastructure faces difficulties due to problems in urban and rural areas like power, transport, water and more. The conclusion states that infrastructure development is crucial for India's growth and the government has taken steps to address bottlenecks and encourage private sector investment.

1. IMPACT ON INDIAN ECONOMY

2. Introduction
 Infrastructure, in general, defines as a set of facilities
through which goods and services are provided to the
public. Infrastructure is the stock of basic facilities and
capital equipment needed for the functioning of a
country or area; the term to refer collectively to the
roads, bridges, rail lines, and similar public works that are
required for an industrial economy, or a portion of it, to
function.

3. Objectives of the study
 To examine the theoretical framework of infrastructure.
 To analyse the socio economic relationship between
infrastructure development and economic growth.

4. Need of the study
 Every economy either developing or developed has two
kinds of main basic objectives one providing basic
needs and facilities to their population second
achieving higher growth rates. The present paper
provides how infrastructure impacts growth and
development. How infrastructure plays a dynamic role
to fulfil their growth targets as well as achieving higher
living standards of their mass population.

5. Methodology of the study
 The present study based on the secondary data, collected from the
different sources like World Development Reports of various years, Human
Development Report of India (2011), majority of data and literature
collected from the existing growth theories, empirical studies. Particularly
this study is not related to any region, state but its concern India’s socio
economic perspective. Why infrastructure is more important other than the
growth determinants and how infrastructure influences the different sectors
of the economy, than it studied the global and Indian experience of
infrastructure and growth through empirical evidences and establish the
relationship between infrastructure and growth.

Rural housing
Roads
Health care
Education
Telecommunication

11. CONCLUSION
 Development of the infrastructure sector is crucial to the growth of the Indian
economy. Sustainable development can only be attained through a careful analysis
of the factors that have mitigated growth in the past, and thereafter, taking the
