Thus infrastructure bottlenecks emerged as one of the key
challenges. Another key challenge having implications for
infrastructure investment is related to improving the efficiency of
public finance management since significant proportion of public
expenditure is associated with
infrastructure investment.

The poor fiscal status of centre and states has created a huge gap
between the resources required
q to p
provide adequate
q infrastructure
and the resources that are currently available.
