About The Infravision Foundation (TIF)

TIF Is an independent think-tank dedicated to shaping and evaluating Indias public policy related to infrastructure, with a particular focus on transportation, energy, water & sanitation, social infrastructure, agricultural supply chains, and cities. We are a growing hub for exchange of knowledge and research, providing independent analysis, initiating new subjects for public deliberation, participating in official and civil society discourses on infrastructure, evaluating development programmes and promoting solutions for policy, investment, and capacity building, with a particular emphasis on the role of the private sector and public- private-partnership.

TIF upholds the impartial, enlightened, and respected voice of reason. TIF has been created by reputed professionals and industry leaders. Our understanding of critical issues and insight regarding future trajectories in infrastructure and economic growth draws on the deep insight of policy experts, scholars, and practitioners from various technical domains. We execute our work by partnering with practitioners, thinktanks and research centres that share our commitment to excellence.


Our work

TIF works at the intersection of infrastructure development and public policy. We use rigorously produced research to advocate for policy reform or fill policy gaps and, wherever needed, to convert the learning from research and advocacy into a capacity building programme. Since its inception in 2022, TIF's advocacy efforts have resulted in improvements in project delivery through the use of surety bonds and the evolution of public transport project planning for Indian cities. Our Sooraj Se Rozgaari initiative is deeply resonant with the Prime Minister's vision for solar rooftops for ten million households. Our initiative on improving regulated warehousing infrastructure to enable warehouse-receipt based sales and credit will contribute to India's, and the world's largest, grain storage plan for agriculture cooperatives. TIF identifies macro as well as granular issues related to infrastructure to contribute to making economic growth sustainable, resilient and inclusive.
