they have a couple of privately managed special economic
zones/townships coming up. A big one near Delhi will be coming up in a
few yrs (courtsey Reliance Industries) and they hope to be at par with
intl manufacturing centres. The cities that have been in existence for
100+ yrs are beyond repair/modification -so you need to look at whats
going to come next rather than what exists.
