PPP push: FinMin asks infra depts to identify projects for private partnership

The finance ministry has asked infrastructure departments to identify projects that can be executed with private partnership, a person aware of the details said.

The move is aimed at drawing greater private capital into public infrastructure and reducing delays in project implementation, according to the person, who said the focus will also be on improving the fund flow into sectors such as urban infrastructure, railways and roads, where private participation remains either minimal or far from impressive.
