New Delhi The urban development ministry is planning to make amendments in the existing metro railway Act, 2009, to include the private public partnership model into the legislation and also to provide greater autonomy to states planning to create metro transit system in their cities.
Presently, the PPP model doesn’t come under the ambit of the act. The first public private partnership in the metro transit system was between the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Reliance Infrastructure for the Airport Express line, which was shut down in July indefinitely for repair works, through a concessionaire agreement.
