| Increased competition in domestic skies led to a price
war, which, instead of hurting the bottom lines, brought in tremendous
growth in traffic, logging as much as 50,000 passengers in a single
day, a record of sorts. Moreover, on many sectors frequency of service
has increased manifold. Foreign routes have also been opened up for
private domestic carriers. More such initiatives are in the anvil.
Major airports are now under the scanner, with enlargement of services
and privatisation of facilities. In the first phase, airports at Delhi
and Mumbai are being considered. The government has I also proposed
to upgrade 15 other airports in smaller cities. At least two new domestic
airlines are billed to commerce operations in early I 2005. Railways,
too, facing stiff competition from airlines is looking at improvements. |
||||||
| Other areas of infrastructure are also being improved.
Roads in most states are in focus. Mumbai-Pune freeway became a showpiece
for others to emulate. Many national highways are being widened to
4-lane, or even 6-lane, speedways. This has reduced travelling time
and stress on the roads. Again, a highway traveller has much better
options for R&R on the journey, with spacious parking, hygienic
fcod, clean toilets, and even good shopping and entertainment. |

option in India. Buying a car is no longer a tedious process and make

spot cash basis. f using this option it will be best to familiarise
yours conditions in India and take proper precautions for safety.

in all states, though the penetration may be restricted. Internet
access, too, is many smaller towns and villages !! Therefore, keeping
in touch is no longer a headache. |
