1. Infrastructure status for travel industry ( i guess they are looking for famous 80-I B (10)  tax exemptions)
2. PPPs in travel sector
3. Reduction in service tax

1. Realtors want tax exemptions
2. Fiscal incentives for green buildings
3. Definition for affordable housing

Economic Times : http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Opinion/Expectations-Pre-Budget/Infrastructure-sector-expectation-from-Budget-2010/articleshow/5557618.cms?curpg=2

1. Tax incentives
2. Emphasis on PPP

Clear emerging theme is tax incentive. I think someone has suggested that commercial lenders to infrastructure projects should also be given tax breaks!!
