Best Sectors to invest in India

Power Sector

Energy over the years has proved to be one of the most important contributors towards the overall economic welfare of a country. Investing in the power sector in India is currently one of the best options. India is a country with a large population which is also growing at a rapid rate so the need for more and more power or energy generation is increasing continuously. The Indian government in its 11th Five Year Plan has proposed electricity for all by the year 2012. Since the demand for electricity is growing enormously investors have ample opportunities to make hay while the sun is shining. Since it is a sector that is currently in demand the investors can put their money on both public and private sector power companies.

Food Processing

The food processing sector in India is yet another excellent platform for investment. Due to the growth in the economy and the rise in the standard of living of the Indian middle class there is a subsequent rise in the demand for processed food items. The increase in the demand for processed food is also due to the rising percentage of working couples in the country.

The next few years as forecasted by industry experts will witness a rapid growth in ready-to-eat food products spanning over products like , ready-to-cook meals, health drinks, readymade Aata, (flour), fruit juices, noodles and pastas, etc. According to industry estimates, the food industry in India is expected to go upto to $280 billion by the end of 2015.

Banking & Finance

The banking and financial sector in India over the years has improved by leaps and bounds. Today it is a top investment avenue. Even the recent economic downturn could not impact the sound Indian banking sector much. It is only after the government opened up the financial sector in the early nineties that the banking industry in India received a boost due to the influx of the private sector banks which took banking to a different level in India. Looking at the progress of the private banks the public banks which were lagging behind also pulled up their socks and started introducing the latest banking facilities and technologies. The banking industry is one of the major reasons behind the success of the nation's economy.

Infrastructure

The one area where India still has miles to go is its infrastructure. However considering the fact that India is an emerging economy there is still much to look forward to as far as infrastructural development is concerned. The economic development of a country to large extend depends on the condition of the infrastructure of that country. Proper infrastructure does not only propel the development of the nation but it also generates employment. The term infrastructure encompasses rail, transport, ports and road, aviation, irrigation needs, mining and construction. Investing in this industry is surely going to reap successful benefits.
