India's Infrastructure Financing Needs and Challenges Amid Rising Interest Rates
India's infrastructure sector faces a financing gap estimated between 680-770 trillion through 2047, requiring improved project development and capital alignment, according to a NaBFID and BCG report. While 38-40 trillion has been financed, many projects remain stalled or await financial closure. NaBFID's Managing Director Rajkiran Rai noted that rising global interest rates have increased funding costs, but markets have largely priced this in. He highlighted challenges like long project execution times and recent improvements in bank deposit growth easing liquidity pressures.
