The horizon is year 2032, two decades from the beginning of the country's 12th Five Year Plan to the end of its 15th. It will be of interest to researchers and students of development studies; transportation and infrastructure studies; governance and public policy; and economics as well as policymakers, economists, public and private sector companies concerned with Indian infrastructure sectors, banks and financial institutions.
