Abstract: The India Infrastructure Report 2002: Governance Issues for Commercialization examines India’s infrastructure and the governance challenges influencing its commercialization. It provides a sector-wise overview, covering rural and urban infrastructure, energy, transport, and telecommunications. The report explores institutional, constitutional, and legal frameworks, addressing regulatory, contractual, environmental, and social issues, including rehabilitation. By analyzing sector-specific challenges, it proposes integrated strategies to improve policy, efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in infrastructure development. Detailed tables, statistical appendices, and case studies support evidence-based recommendations, offering guidance for effective commercialization, governance reforms, and long-term planning of India’s infrastructure sectors.
