Vinayak Pai, the CEO of Tata Projects, has underlined the significance of improving detailed project report (DPR) preparation to minimize delays in infrastructure projects in India. He mentions that India lags behind global standards in front-end design efforts, resulting in poorly defined projects and delays in execution. Pai advocates for better front-end planning and consistent contract monitoring across ministries to streamline project implementation. Tata Projects is concentrating on metro projects, airports, and new sectors like green hydrogen and battery manufacturing. Noteworthy projects such as Pune Metro and Noida International Airport are progressing as per schedule, indicating a growth in infrastructure investment. Pai also anticipates a surge in investments in roads, railways, metro projects, ports, and airports following the new government's tenure. He emphasizes the importance of road and railway investments, with a focus on metro projects and airports. Tata Projects is actively engaged in executing the Pune Metro and Noida International Airport projects, both progressing smoothly. Additionally, Pai identifies a growing demand for pumped hydro storage, green hydrogen, and battery, semiconductor, and electronics manufacturing. Tata Projects is keen on sectors involving public-private partnerships and government funding. The development of metro projects has significantly increased in recent years, and there is a notable emphasis on airport projects as well.
