'Radical solutions to India's infrastructure deficit'

Infrastructure develops around industries.

State governments in their bid to attract industries compete with each other to provide infrastructure to the industries.

Instead infrastructure development should be made a mandatory prerequisite for setting up large and medium scale industries.

It is the business of corporate houses to set up industries and they, not the government, should develop the infrastructure.
One good example is Tatanagar, which developed around the Tata steel plant. But the same Tata company wanted an agriculture land in Singur which has good road connectivity, water and electricity facilities. Food is a necessity for all be they rich or poor.
