Prime minister Manmohan Singh today said investment in infrastructure should be doubled to about Rs41 lakh crore during the 12th Five Year Plan ending 2017 from the prevailing level, and directed concerned authorities to work out the details.
"Preliminary exercises suggest that investment in infrastructure will have to expand to $1,000 billion in the 12th Five Year Plan. I urged the Finance Ministry and the Planning Commission to draw a plan of action for achieving this level of investment," he said at a conference on building infrastructure hosted by the Planning Commission.

At the Conference, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said the Government is aware of the unfinished agenda in infrastructure development, which is necessary for a return to a high growth path of over 9 per cent.
On infrastructure bottlenecks, he said, power deficit and the aggregate losses of around 30 per cent due technical and commercial faults are worrisome. Less-than-expected capacity addition in the port sector, a huge investment backlog in
railways and low penetration of broadband services were flagged as other concerns.
