It is true that Cities of India will become smarter and smartest but what about humans who are becoming dumb, dumber and dumbest every passing day.

Hi,
This agreement will definitely drive and increase the sustainable growth of India's infrastructure sector, while making India's growing urban centers more attractive to business and providing a better quality of life for India's citizens.

Right Samrat,
As the world's third largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power equality, India has the second largest population and is projected to add 500 million people to its urban population over the next 4 decades.

Agreed Samrat. The US has definitely recognized the enormous potential in India and the strides that it has been making in the field of development. The delegation will arrive with the sole purpose of building a relationship and constructing agreements that will be mutually beneficial for both the economies.

Hi Priya and all,
FIIs don't mind paying tax, but they want clarity as they don't like to trade in a country that has an uncertain taxation policy.

It is also come to know that US trade delegation to visit India in Feb-Mar-2016 to boost trade ties. And i hope that with this visit of the upcoming high-level delegation from North Dakota to India, new partnerships between the US and the Indian companies will emerge in different areas.

It's really one more good move of Modi Govt. The trade mission that will visit Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai will help US companies launch or increase their business in India, focusing on technologies, systems and services in the safety and security, intelligent transportation, water, wastewater, and power sectors.
