India PPP Summit on 31 January 2012: Message from our leaders
The Indian Government has identified public private partnership (PPP) as the cornerstone of its policy on infrastructure development and it has become the preferred mode for construction and operation of commercially viable infrastructure projects in sectors such as highways, airports, ports, railways and urban transit systems.
With a view to highlight the investment opportunities for private investors and discuss the issues relating to policy and regulatory framework for PPP projects, FICCI, along with Ernst & Young is organizing the India PPP Summit on 31 January 2012 at the Federation House, Tansen Marg, New Delhi. We are also knowledge partners of the event and will be releasing a report on PPP generation next.
The summit aims to deliberate upon the procedural constraints adversely impacting the ability to implement infrastructure projects and the time-bound execution of PPP projects. It would also provide a platform to elicit stakeholder's views/suggestions on the Draft National PPP Policy. The India PPP Summit 2012 would bring together policy-makers, regulatory authorities, industry experts and business leaders from the infrastructure sector to discuss the issues/concerns relating to implementation and monitoring of PPP projects and suggest measures for promoting infrastructure development through PPPs in India.
Some speakers of the event include R Gopalan, Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Government of India; B K Chaturvedi, Member, Planning Commission, Government of India; Raghav Chandra, Joint Secretary (Highways), Ministry of Road Transport & Highways; Roberto Zagha, Country Director – India, The World Bank, etc.
