Why all this?
As announced in para 54 of the Union Budget for the Year 2010-11, it has been decided to expand the definition of infrastructure sector for the purposes of External Commercial Borrowings (ECB).
New Definition of “Infrastructure Sector”
The infrastructure sector would henceforth be defined to include (i) power, (ii) telecommunication, (iii) railways, (iv) road including bridges, (v) sea port and airport, (vi) industrial parks, (vii) urban infrastructure (water supply, sanitation and sewage projects), (viii) mining, exploration and refining and (ix) cold storage or cold room facility, including for farm level pre-cooling, for preservation or storage of agricultural and allied produce, marine products and meat.
