With an aim to boost country’s infrastructure development, Finance Ministry would set up a cell to help clear the issues that have stalled several infrastructure projects in the country, especially in the power and roads sectors. While, addressing a meeting with leading industrialists and top bank executives, Finance Minister P Chidambaram, said that the proposed cell would take up the issues on ongoing basis with concerned departments including coal, environment & forests and surface transport among other.
Chidambaram held the meeting to review about 28 stalled infrastructure projects, particularly in Andhra Pradesh. The combined value of the projects are Rs 92,500 crore including banks funding of Rs 69,000 crore. However, the infrastructure companies said that delays in land acquisition in the case of road projects and delays in concluding fuel agreements with Coal India and power purchase agreements with state electricity board are the main roadblocks stalling infrastructure projects.
The finance ministry is keen to resolve the issues so that bank funding is released and the projects become sustainable. Further, for the 12th Five Year Plan, the government has set $1 trillion target for infrastructure development in the country.
