Should India increase the use of private international firms to build infrastructure?

If the local private firms can reach the standards of international infrastructure then they should be given a chance. If the private international firms can do it for lower price-greater quality then they can be given a chance. Personally i think the local firms should be able to improve their standards

It should be a balance between the two Local for increasing employment of people International to attract more international firms to invest in india

Yes, by maintaning balance in fair treatment of local firms and international firms to build high class infrastructure

Cooperation models

Depends on the project

International firms can partner with local firms

Via technology transfer in highly innovative fields

Right mix of international/local and public sector firms.

Should encourage Indian firms and should decide on the basis of funding of the private organisation

It should be partnership between govt and private firms

Give to whoever does a good job

Yes, in areas where domestic capability does not exist.

Yes, but not all infrastructure projects. Guve these projects to local private firms as well so that we build domestic knowledge and capabilities.

Make the contractor accountable to lapses

Yes as long as respective technology not available with local firms

Initially partnership is a must , once after they gain the knowledge/ tech absorption . We must only allow indian firms . Sill we need learn many things from other countries Infra policies and always work with them on research and development

Only allow international firms where there is lack of expertise in specific projects.

Govt should consult with experts.

maybe, to some extent yes

Priority should be given to the quality of work, value for money and project timeline . Whoever does better on these should be used.

Do whatever is best for country

Give work to those having more skills , depending on their skills and intellectual to either Local or International

yes , but only with friendly countries

Yes, but should not be dependent on them and no Chinese

Gov should rely on them for only essential projects for which Indian companies do not have the capabilities or are not as good as the competitor

To some extent in particular sectors, yes.

Yes, as long as labour is sourced locally

Do both and that will encourage local firms to do a better job cause of their competition

There should be a mix of both local and international private firms to develop the Indian infrastructure.

Equal participation

Pick firms based on their product quality instead of their nationality

Yes, but local companies should be given enough opportunities too.

Use an expanded version of the Army's Border Roads Organisation for roads, and Indian Railway's Ircon ltd for railway related infrastructure.

If there are capable local firms then they should be the priority but if not then the international firms

Both local and foreign investments are necessary for infrastructure development

No, it should be a joint venture between public and private companies.

No, it should have a state regulated market economy as well as use state regulated farms.

Yes but with proper policies

Yes. The Govt. Should not interfere in the free market and artificially choose winners and losers

Yes, but with strict supervision and with limited powers given to them.

Use of both international and local firms..but prefer local firms as possible

As long as they provide employment to locals and give importance to environment

Depends on the competencies

Offer contracts to whoever that can give the best cost-quality ratio

Yes with local talent

Yes, but only in partnerships where in the majority stake lies with the Indian private firm.

Yes, but the Government should own the majority of the stake in the infrastructure projects

Include bothe local and international private firms , but give some advantage to local .

To build international standard infrastructure use the international private firms but work should be done by local private firms under international firms.
