Sparta Strategy Announces: The Indian Highways & Roads Infrastructure Investment Conference in Association with Financial Times


Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Monday, January 31, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Leading FDI promotion firm Sparta Strategy along with the Financial Times today announced a conference on investment opportunities within the Indian Highways & Roads Infrastructure segment which has emerged as one of the largest public private partnership opportunities on the Governments infrastructure development plans.

The event which is scheduled for Tuesday February 8th in Mumbai, India is slated to bring together senior executives from the public and private sectors, regulators, bankers, fund managers, private equity investors, infrastructure contractors, engineering firms and industrialists from India as well as overseas to explore and discuss the opportunities within this sector. The Indian Government is looking to make rapid headway in the area of highways and road development with an expected $60 billion outlined for the path ahead. With the private sector expected to take on a large part of this investment and the inclusion of global players in the outlined plan, there are unique opportunities for overseas investors and companies to play a key role in the future of India's infrastructure development.

"We are excited about this event and it's going to be great platform to discuss the highway and roads program, how the Government can overcome challenges in its path and the role foreign infrastructure companies as well as investors can play in this crucial sector" says Mr Kavn Bhandary, Sparta Strategy.

The conference which is expecting wide participation of all the different stakeholders from infrastructure companies to representatives from the financial and investment domain globally will feature a key note address as well as discussion panels along with time to network.

"India is looking to add 20kms a day on road building projects and there have been a number of successful toll based projects that highlighted the public private partnership route as the way forward. The participation of global players across investment and execution of these objectives is not only going to add value to these projects but opens doors allowing them to be a part of a rapidly evolving India" adds Mr Sanjay Sharma, Sparta Strategy.
