Infrastructure projects are the backbone of Indian economic growth. Given the critical nature of the infrastructure sector in the growth of the economy, it is important that investments in this sector are monitored and governed with a focus on ensuring maximum social returns and speedy completion of the project for public use. It also has to be noted that infrastructure projects are basically public goods and our objective is to help the stakeholders to monitor the progress of the projects.
The Governance solutions on Infrastructure are delivered to comprehensively address the needs of all the stakeholders in the infrastructure – Firms, Financiers, & Governments.
