New Delhi, February 07: The six-member panel constituted to look afresh into Railways’ public-private partnership model before going ahead with some of the big-ticket projects today submitted its report to the Chairman of the Railway Board.
“The committee has submitted its report today and now the Railway Board will discuss it threadbare before making a final decision”, said a senior Railway Ministry official.
The committee’s report is crucial as it would suggest the way forward to execute all major PPP projects including world class stations and locomotive units.
The outcome of the report is keenly awaited as it is expected to have a direct bearing on projects in Kanchrapara, Madhepura and Marhora.
Railways have proposed to set up an EMU unit in Kanchrapara in West Bengal, an electric locomotive factory in Madhepura and diesel locomotive in Marhora in Bihar.
