Two-tier institutional monitoring mechanism to oversee PPP projects

13 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Union cabinet has given its nod to set up an institutional monitoring mechanism to ensure speedy completion of project and efficient service delivery by private player under public private partnership (PPP).

A two-tier scanning system consisting of projects monitoring unit (PMU) at project authority level and performance review unit (PRU) in the ministry concerned will be formed, while the PMU will monitor their performance at the project authority level, the PRU will also oversee their implementation at the Ministry or state government level. The PMU will have to prepare a report to be submitted to the PRU within 15 days of the close of the relevant month and PRU will review the reports submitted by the different PMUs and oversee or initiate action for rectifying any defaults or lapses.

Though, further it was also stated that based on the outcome and the experience gained in this regard, modifications would be made in the guidelines, if necessary. Also, as per the Cabinet’s decision, the quarterly monitoring reports will be placed before the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI) to review the progress of PPP projects once every quarter for the next two years.

So far, 432 projects on PPP mode have been completed and another 585 are in implementation stage. The Planning Commission will have a major role in ensuring quality monitoring and will put the monitoring reports of over 432 Public Private Partnership projects in public domain.
