The railways require substantial investments in order to keep pace with
the 8% growth rate of the economy. Recognizing the need for substantial
financial capital and techno managerial expertise, the Railways must encourage
private sector participation in massive exercise. Also, competition with the
Road and Aviation is driving the railways to improve their standards. The
Indian Railway should be ready to interact with private Industry and take
further steps to attract investment under Public Private Partnership (PPP)
through suitable project delivery methods. This study has involved preparation
of a series of working papers covering the Traffic survey and the
Reconnaissance Engineering and suitable project delivery methods under ppp.
These working papers culminated in this report, which is based on a combination
of market, technical and economic modules.
