India’s middle class is growing quickly, and with that new income comes the demand for better quality of life. The pressure is on: India has to get its infrastructure up to snuff in order to continue growing the way it has been, explains Benjamin Shephed for Investing Daily.

For India to retain its best and brightest, it’s necessary to make upgrades – otherwise, they’ll move onto greener pastures. [India ETFs Waver After Obama Visit.]
The good news: India recognizes the need and it has stepped up infrastructure investment, says Swagata Gupta for Nasdaq. Goldman Sachs forecasts that India will grow 8.5% this year through March and 8.7% in fiscal 2012, led by infrastructure, technology, steel and energy. [Corruption Holds Back India's ETFs.]
