The services and Infrastructure sector plays a pivotal role in the economic development. Considering the increasing importance of this sector, the Reserve Bank of India has initiated pilot survey to assess the business sentiments in Services and Infrastructure Sector. The Reserve Bank of India has launched the 8th pilot round of the Services and Infrastructure Outlook Survey, which seeks assessment of the business situation for the current quarter (January-March 2016 i.e. Q4:2015-16) from the services and infrastructure companies in India, and their perceptions for the ensuing quarter (April-June 2016 i.e. Q1:2016-17).
