While traditionally the public sector has been the
dominant provider of infrastructure services, the focus in recent years
has been shifting to private provision and competition and the
Government has been progressively taking the role of a facilitator.
Indeed of late getting private capital into infrastructure services has
become the cornerstone of the infrastructure development strategy in
India.
Following the example of the developed states like
Maharastra, Karnataka, Tamilnadu wherein public private partnership in
infrastructure sector played big role in creating huge infrastructure
like creating of additional space in shipyards, construction of
highways, rail road connectivity of major ports, telecommunication etc.
the Government of Assam is also opening up its infrastructure sector for
private sector participation. The concept papers of the projects which
will be offered to execute in Public Private Partnership mode have been
placed in the Website for wider dissemination amongst prospective
private entrepreneurs.
