The Verdict for handling over Metro
to PPP to come this month.
As Indian
companies are not too keen to handle metro through PPP, hence some
international companies have come forward for the same. Four companies have
inspected metro in the past three months. After a final meeting with two of
those companies, the verdict could be out this month itself.
The company
that plans to take up the 2nd phase of metro through PPP would also
be responsible for the phase one. At present, the government is looking after
phase one for which a loan of 969 crore rupees have been taken, and this would
have to be paid by the company which takes over the phases by PPP model.
Singapore’s
SMRT company and AMT Company of china and America have been in talks with
officials regarding this project take over. The American company wanted wheel
less metro as their requirement. Also Malaysian company CIDB’s officials have
also had many discussions with our officials regarding the same. CIDB’s company
officials are visiting on Monday again for a 3-day visit and meeting with
Metro’s CMD NC Goyal.
