I have one question why has it never occurred to the Government of India, or its earlier iterations, to develop and strengthen PSUs in the construction sector? Strangely, they have invested in areas like high-tech aviation, where state-run enterprises arguably shouldn't be the primary players, yet they are completely absent in basic, large-scale infrastructure tasks like local road-laying or civil construction. These aren't technologically complex undertakings; they're standardized, repetitive, and process-driven precisely the kind of tasks PSUs are capable of executing efficiently. While PSUs may not be outstanding successes across the board, they also aren't total failures, and for non-high-tech, routine projects, they can certainly deliver results.
Asking this because of constant randi-rona on twitter regarding crumbling infra.
