This policy supersedes the R3i and R2CI policies notified earlier. The policy provides for supplementing government’s investment in rail infrastructure projects by private capital flows.
The policy contains the following models:
1) Non-government railway.
2) JV with equity participation by railways.
3) Capacity augmentation through funding by customers
4) Capacity augmentation – annuity model applicability.
5) Build Operate Transfer.
A few projects undertaken under the participative policy of Ministry of Railways include Jaigarh Port-Digni Port, Hamarpur-Rewas Port, Chiplun-Karad, Vaibhavwadi-Kolhapur and Indore-Manmad.
