Niti Aayog prepares Cabinet note to unlock stalled infra projects

26 Aug 2016 Evaluate

In a big boost to infrastructure companies, the government think-tank NITI Aayog has prepared a Cabinet note on how to unlock stalled infra projects and speed up payment to the industry. There are reports of over Rs 1.5 lakh crore locked in stalled infrastructure projects, the Aayog will take care of cases of dispute and the order of the arbitration panel. It will suggest infrastructure related ministries to ease arbitration norms and release stalled payments of infrastrature companies.

The government is working on a proposal to help the sector to avoid cost over runs and payment delays. This proposal comes at a time when about Rs 1.65 lakh crore of banks' Rs 3.65 lakh crore exposure to the construction sector is stressed. Therefore, Niti Aayog has been asked to prepare a Cabinet note for infrastructure ministries such as road and highways, transport, urban development and petroleum, where project delays are largely due to reasons like environment clearance and land acquisition.

A cabinet note proposes that in case of a dispute and the order of the arbitration panel going in the company's favour, no appeals should be made against the order and the government should clear the payment due to the company. The note also suggests that infrastructure related ministries should ease arbitration norms and release stalled payments of infra companies. According to Ministry of Statistic and Programme Implementation, as on June as many as 1, 330 of 1,076 projects, each worth at least Rs 150 crore, were running behind schedule.
