has gone for innovative solutions for faster procurement
• Public Private Partnerships (PPP) projects worth Rs 120 billion or EUR 2 billion
are currently under different stages of implementation.
• Special Purpose Vehicles created for faster implementation of important
projects on mission mode, for e.g. the dedicated freight corridor.
• Private Investment in Container and Special Freight Trains Operation: Private
investment has been permitted for wagon leasing companies to procure high-
capacity, special-purpose and container rakes to end-users. Proposed Multi-
modal Logistics Park will allow private investment in construction and operation
of private freight terminals for multiple third-party users.
• Outsourcing of certain services to private contractors e.g. catering
