- Mathura
- Kanpur
- Prayagraj
- Kolkata
Key Highlights
- Failure not because of drawbacks of PPP per se but because of drawbacks of the processes that were followed or because of the lack of enablers being in place
- In India, private participation is required in order to build the infrastructure in addition to the improving the efficiency of the project
- PPP has evolved over the years and reached the stage where successful projects are implemented
- India runs fiscal deficit of 3.3% of GDP, which necessitates private investment
Following points are to be noted:
- Earlier projects were focused towards water supply
- The major players such as IVRCL, JUSCO, SPML, etc. are facing financial troubles
- Lack of understanding about the project and underpriced quote resulted in the financial failure of the companies
- Bids for Namami Gange saw participation from technically sound companies, however with little past experience in project development. This was mainly due to strategic importance of the project and well-structured contracts (IFC assisted) with sovereign guarantee
- Recently, National Green Tribunal directed urban bodies to ensure treatment of sewage before discharge by March 2021. Massive investment is expected, part of it will be funded by Private companies through HAM model
