Ajay Saxena of Asian Development Bank informed that government might consider pro­viding soft loans to developers of projects on public private partnership (PPP) basis if there is a shortfall in revenue.

The government would provide the loan as per the draft rule on PPP projects on revenue support released by the Planning Commission.Revenue sup­port can be considered mostly for greenfield projects, where pre­cedents or ground data are minimal. Debt and operation and maintenance obligations sho­uld be covered through a revenue shortfall loan, he said to a news agency.

Saxena said India has reached the second stage of PPP maturity.The PPP policy and draft rules, which are in place, would remove all uncertainties and help attract a lot of investments of the proposed $500billion in PPP projects, he added.
