Fitch: doom and gloom for India in 2012

The ratings agency offers a ‘negative’ outlook for India’s infrastructure sector with only traces of solace. Power is more vulnerable than the transportation sector, although the agency is prepared to issue a wave of downgrades and outlook changes in 2012.

Fitch Ratings’ outlook on Indian infrastructure for 2012 remains ‘negative’, according to a recently issued report. The ratings agency blames both macro-economic factors, such as a precarious interest rate environment, in addition to sector-specific issues for a forthcoming wave of credit downgrades. 

Power generation projects are more vulnerable to downgrades than transportation assets, although no infrastructure subsector appears to be immune, according to the report, which is dubbed 2012 Outlook:  Indian Infrastructure.
