(a) The Twelfth Five Year Plan has recognised that adequate investment in the development of infrastructure is a prerequisite for higher growth. Accordingly, the Plan has projected an investment of Rs. 55,74,663 crore in infrastructure (defined to include electricity, renewable energy, roads & bridges, telecommunications, railways, irrigation including watershed, water supply & sanitation, ports including inland waterways, airports, oil & gas pipelines and storage) during the Plan period (2012-17). However, in view of scarcity of budgetary resources and lack of capacity within the government to implement such an ambitious programme, the strategy of the government relies significantly on promoting investment through a combination of public investment, private participation and various forms of public private partnership (PPP) in financially viable infrastructure projects.

(b) The status of PPP infrastructure projects in the country as on March 31, 2013 is shown below:
