INFRASTRUCTURE
SET-UP
Bird’s eye-view of economy of a place can be had from the available
infrastructure. Since the infrastructure set-up of the district
is not
properly developed, measures are being taken for the development of
various sectors of basic amenities viz Transportation, Public Health, Education,
Power Development, Medical facilities, Roads etc.
POWER DEVELOPMENT
District Pulwama is having no Hydel Power Generating Project. Electricity
generated in other districts of the State is consumed here. All the villages are
almost electrified except some pockets. However, two Gas Turbine Plants
established at Pampore. With
a total capacity of 175.00 (MW) are
existing in the district.

Though all the villages are electrified yet the power supply is not as per its requirements especially during the winter season. The need is felt to generate the electricity as per its requirement in the district. The erratic power supply have curtailed the Industrial Development in the district. The erratic and short power supply is the root cause of Industrial backwardness in the district. No doubt diesel generator sets are used as an alternative source but same can not be an alternative source of energy in view of its high costs.
COMMUNICATION
Development in modern times is directly proportionate to communication facilities. The district is well knit with pacca/Kacha roads which connect the different corners of the district with main Town and other parts of the Valley / State Head Quarters. Surface transport viz Buses, Trucks, Matadors, Taxies etc. are being utilized for transportation of goods and services in the district /State.
The below table indicates the position of roads and its category-wise construction for the period 2003-04 to 2010-11
