The Planning Commission today set targets to augment the country's infrastructure this fiscal, including
adding 20,359 MW of power generation capacity and 2,500 km of highways, its Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said here.
The goal for at least the power sector is ambitious given the failure to meet even last year's subdued target.
The plan panel had set 14,507 MW power generation capacity target in 2009-10, but actual addition was just 9,585 MW.
Similarly, the target for highway last fiscal was 3,165 km, while the actual completion was 2,008 km.
The investment target for roads has been pegged at Rs 35,680 crore in 2010-11, higher than Rs 29,934 crore in the last fiscal.
Again, the actual investments that came in into the sector last fiscal was Rs 11,608 crore.
