उत्तर
‘Investment in infrastructure as a percentage of GDP’ is that proportion of Gross Domestic Product which is invested for the development of infrastructural facilities in a country.
According to the given data, it is evident that India is contributing 30% of its total GDP on infrastructural progress, which is just a notch above the corresponding figure of 28% for Singapore.
Considering the vast geography of India this is a relatively lower proportion in this direction. If India wants to grow at a faster rate, it must concentrate on higher judicious investment in the development of infrastructure.
