Law reform—India.0300This book analyzes existing policies and laws related to infrastructure development, highlighting the need for a more coordinated approach to avoid wasteful public expenditure. It emphasizes that current infrastructure projects are developed piecemeal, lacking comprehensive planning. For example, when roads are built, utilities like telecom, gas, and electricity are often overlooked, leading to duplication of work and resource wastage. Different departments, such as railways, transport, and utilities, operate independently without coordination. While initiatives like the Smart City concept and the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan aim to integrate efforts, there is still no comprehensive law or policy addressing this issue. The book suggests new laws and policies to promote better coordination and socio-economic transformation through infrastructure development.01Shhalaj Publishing HouseIN04012025010101Shhalaj Publishing House20021399.00INRWORLD
