The CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) intends to hold a one day South India Infrastructure Investment (SIII) Summit on November 11, 2011 in Chennai.
According to Chairman of the Summit, Mr. S K Goel, " South India requires huge investments in infrastructure. For instance, the demand for additional power capacity in the region is estimated to be between 65 and 85 giga watts by 2020, which calls for investments of the order of $ 7,000 Crore. Similarly, the State highways would require another $ 5,500 crore & ports $ 1,150 Crore".
The South India Infrastructure Investment summit would discuss financing opportunities, sector wise. The governments of Japan and Malaysia are also involving themselves in the summit. The Ministry of Economics, Trade and Industries, Japan, will hold a separate session, while a Special Envoy of the Prime Minister of Malaysia will deliver a special address.
