This is a list of megaprojects, which may be defined in the following categories: . Projects that cost more than US$1 billion and attract a large amount of public attention because of substantial impacts on communities, the natural and built environment, and budgets.
The 597-foot Statue of Unity in Gujarat – the tallest statue in the world [1]. This is a list of megaprojects in India."Megaprojects are temporary endeavours (i.e., projects) characterized by large investment commitment, vast complexity (especially in organisational terms), and long-lasting impact on the economy, the environment, and society".
Megaprojects include special economic zones, public buildings, power plants, dams, airports, hospitals, seaports, bridges, highways, tunnels, railways, wastewater projects, oil and natural gas extraction projects, aerospace projects, weapons systems, information technology systems, large-scale sporting events and, more recently, mixed use waterfront redevelopments; however, the most common ...
In engineering, macro-engineering (alternatively known as mega engineering) is the implementation of large-scale design projects. It can be seen as a branch of civil engineering or structural engineering applied on a large landmass. In particular, macro-engineering is the process of marshaling and managing of resources and technology on a large ...
"Megaprojects" is the term applied to multibillion-dollar infrastructure developments such as massive dams and bridges, and to elaborate railways and highways.The book identifies a "megaprojects paradox," pointing out that more of these projects are being implemented, but such projects typically perform very poorly, often with substantial cost overruns and market shortfalls.
In 2016, local electronics production started to grow, signaling the start of a recovery during a period of low Indian exports. Electronic exports increased by 7.8% to $0.5 billion in January 2016, while electronic imports, which made up 27% of India's annual trade imbalance, decreased by 2.2% to $3.2 billion. [38]
