India Developing, but still a long way to go

LOL sure, except that in this case, the SEAR flyover/expressway system ain't no pig. I've used it, and I've got to say - the finished product is beautiful, both aesthetically, and functionally.

But you have to agree that the palm trees look a bit out of place! Its like plonking a palm tree on top of a skyscraper.

I'd probably agree with you if I hadn't seen it in person.

Fair enough. But even from road safety point of view it doesn't seem like a good idea. You d want to have clear vision of the merging roads and traffic, having palm trees does the exact opposite.

In terms of road safety, in my experience, all on/off-ramp merging points have clear, unobstructed views from scores of metres away.

Kochi Metro Pillars Coming Up

• The industrial corridors, river linking and mega broadband projects are easy, easy to fund and cash rich over time.

• 
  perhaps not that easy to fund ,the estimated cost of inter-linking the rivers is around 6,00,000 Cr. ($100 bill) and its still rising the longer we take the higher would be da price.
  And PPP model seems to workout only in few indian cities probably because of lack of the public support('P'PP =public=govt) to the private players ,there's no partenership at all,the private players had to fund the (~90%) of the project and then later had to struggle with clearence,rehabilatation etc, which is the govt work to do.things had to change if phase 2 of the infra boom has to come. it is also the private player that had to be blamed and not just the govt.,because say like L&T n many out there, they divide the projects into may parts and few sections of the projects are given to local contractors without doing the entire project all by themselves and that leads to delays and poor quality of projects and this mostly happens in govt projects like metro rail , roads ,highways ,expressways ,railway projects and not in most of residential projects ,there's a lot to be done to get a better result even by PPP model.
  and by the way double decker trains began in the mid 1970's in india its nothing new ,its just that now they had come in a new avatar

Ok to disagree?

Japan is funding over-the-top Delhi Metro and Delhi Mumbai Corridor. That sets a precedent.
Malaysia, Singapore have a history of funding road and IT Park projects. Gulf Co.'s eg. real-estate like Emaar projects.

China just put $ 300 Billion on the table! EU, US, Canada, Oz, Gulf, S. Africa & Russia will not shy from investing in India's mega-projects. Notice the Noble to University of Chicago's (Rockefeller's Uni.) for economics, Chicago U is famous for being a liberal, business oriented school and the Noble's are for long term infra. funding risk mitigation. New Indian RBI chief R. Rajan is from said school. Note also, $ Trillion Tata group's (in Indian infra. PPP terms) boss is an infra. player. Tata Steel. Birla cement. Connect the dots.

Check the Noble group, Rockefeller folks, Chicago U., RBI India etc.
If I get deeper into this I will be jumped on for being parochial. Get my drift.

Politics is everything in India, so how does a big project like this come up never mind politics.
Answer: Business drives politics. And it works the other way around too. Quid Pro Quo. Mega projects are every politician's dream, and with mega Modi's forecast sweep, this will be the norm. India is today hardly cash strapped, never mind Global financial dynamics Vs. the India opportunity.

• The word on Wall St. is that India is the last and largest financial bull market.

Therefore, I refute your said claims Nova2.

Agreed . I neva said that japan or any other country for that matter is not pummping money into india.it is a market where eveyone wants to invest into be it US or China no wonder why US is crying foul over india's law to use dometc made solar panels for various solar projects in india. India is a attractive market,though in the short term things might look slow and non bussiness friendly bt in the long run it will be the economic powerhouse of the world. I was just refering to the river interlinking project which you said was easy to fund which is incorrect at present. Japans funding of DMIC ,delhi metro and many other IT projects is because the govt had show an intrest in these projects but river interlinking project is not on congress radar and hence there would be no major investment in it until BJP comes in because it was sort of BJP dream project,so yeah if modi comes in he may give a boost to the river interlinking project.and the lanco hills project in hyderabad has seen may ups and down ,i live about a mile or three from those towrs, there where tons of project from the Hyderabad international airport to Hitch city , n this

was one of them ,it not the same anymore ,now everyone's waiting for the outcome of General elections only then would they move ahead with there projects.no doubt modi is influencing growth in the country. PPP projects are the way ahead but they have few loopholes as well that need to be taken care of so as to reduce delay in projects and bring down corruption.
Therefore i never diagreed with what you said but its just that few things have to be sorted out before we move ahead.

Great.

• River linking, Kalpasar type mega projects have no funding problems. BJP win, Mumbai boom, Mumbai is substantially Gujju!
  
• There is a megaprojects thread on skyscrapercity, go nuts. We are talking about the new age of internet where fans and others can participate and indulge, often on a daily basis. Pls. do go with sensational media and papers who sell sensationalism.

Point is, in it's mega development stage, late as it is, only India has Global investment support. UK, Germany, Oz, Gulf, Japan, US, France and recently Spain in EU, also Korea and recently China did it all on their own. India is lucky the financial world is now mature enough, Global politics is lined up, and the whole deal is profitable enough for India to benefit from infra. investments. Exceptions be damned, focus on the positive.
