This article discusses the effects of India's unstable infrastructure on international business investments. For many investors in India infrastructure determines where to build, and is the biggest operational challenge. In 2006 a study, found that the most important constraint holding back the country's economic growth is low spending on infrastructure. However, India's government, held back by its relatively low tax revenues and high fiscal deficits, has not been able to fix it.
