The Finance Ministry has notified India Infrastructure Project
Development Fund Scheme (IIPDF Scheme) for the financial support of
project development expenses of public private partnership (PPP)
projects.
It was notified on Thursday. As a central
sector scheme, the IIPDF Scheme will aid the development of quality PPP
projects by providing necessary funding support to the project
sponsoring authorities, both in the central and state governments. This
is for creating a shelf of bankable viable PPP projects for achieving
the vision of modern infrastructure for the country, an official
statement said.
Funding under IIPDF Scheme is in addition to the
already operational scheme for financial support to PPPs in
infrastructure (Viability Gap Funding scheme) notified on December 7,
2020, through which infrastructure projects undertaken through PPP mode
that are economically justified but commercially unviable are supported.
A
key step in structuring quality PPP projects is to provide quality
advisory and consultancy services to the project sponsoring authorities
(PSAs).
However, the procurement of such services is a time
consuming and difficult process often resulting into delays in
onboarding of the appropriate transaction advisers (TAs) or non-optimal
structuring of PPP projects.
To address these issues, the
Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) had notified a panel of
pre-qualified TAs on July 1, 2022 and developed a manual for utilisation
of this panel.
Now, the IIPDF scheme will provide necessary
support to the PSAs, both in the Central and state governments, by
extending financial assistance in meeting the cost of transaction
advisors and consultants engaged in the development of PPP projects.
