State government betting on executing medium-to-large infra projects in PPP mode

The Hindu  

The Tamil Nadu government is betting big on executing medium-to-large infrastructure projects under public-private partnership model to achieve its ambitious target of a $1-trillion economy. Tamil Nadu is also looking to implement big infrastructure projects under the PPP mode. Smaller projects under the PPP model, such as the Bio-CNG initiatives valued at around ₹20 crore, along with larger projects such as airports and pumped storage facilities, align with the roadmap outlined in the Tamil Nadu Vision $1-Trillion report and the recently released PPP policy. The government intends to address the issue by creating a robust investor-friendly framework, which would enthuse private sector players to partner with the government through sustainable long-term contracts, according to the State’s PPP policy.
