View: India urbanisation critical for getting developed tag

Since nearly 70 % of the urban infrastructure needed by 2047 is yet to be built, sizeable investments will be required. By 2036, India will need to invest $840 billion in infrastructure — an average of $55 billion or 1.2 % of GDP per annum.
