Indian Infrastructure Development #GWF

For those of you who hear of the tremendous expansion of the infrastructure within India but don’t always get to see it, I wanted to offer these photos from Hyderabad (I took the photos while attending the Geospatial World Forum):

Rajiv Ghandi Airport (click for larger image) opened in 2009 and receives international flights direct from Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt, Dubai, and other cities. Other major Indian cities have also just opened new airports within the last 5 years including Mumbai and New Delhi.

Below is an image of a four-lane highway near the airport that wasn’t open two years ago when I visited. Other highways like this one were under construction as well.

Here’s another shot of the highway (Click for larger image)

The skyline looks like this in nearly all directions. Condos and office buildings are going up at a rapid pace.

Hyderabad is a city of over 6 million people in the metropolitan area.
