WELCOME! PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN INFRASTRUCTURE-INDIA INTRO
Today, I want to present you all this new blog. I believe its name clearly explains its future content: Public Private Partnerships in Infrastructure - India. This blog is a sister one of the blog Public Private Partnerships around the world. Due to the great amount of content that the indian market creates by itself I have decided to write about the Indian PPP industry separately.When writing about infrastructure, I will focus more on highways,railways and airports, although other infrastructure systems will not be forgotten.
KAMAL NATH AND HIGHWAYSIn this presentation I would like to point out Kamal Nath's entry as the Road, Transport and Highways minister. Now there is a visible change in the attitude and enthusiasm among ministry and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) officials.India plans to build 35,000 km of national highways over the next three to four years - or 20 km of roads a day. In 2009-10 alone, the plan is to lay down nearly 15,000 km of roads. These are huge numbers that could turn India into the first infrastructure market in the world.Traffic on Indian roads is growing at 7 to 10 percent per year, rapidly overtaking economic growth, and the construction of new roads is part of a massive development agenda announced by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.BLOG CONTENTSo this blog is born to bring you all the latest news in the PPP industry in India. In the last years new road projects have had diffculties to come out, now Kamal Nath promises that hundreds of new projects will attract many bidders in the next years. I plan to write about all these projects, the Model Concession Agreement (MCA) and its future changes, new legislation pieces and the financing methods.I hope you all like it, read it and participate.
