The Empowered Committee on Infrastructure for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, chaired by Anu Garg, has granted in-principle approval to five new PPP projects with a combined estimated investment of ₹1,130 crore.

The approved projects span multiple sectors, including healthcare, sewerage treatment, urban development, water supply and animal vaccine production. Officials said detailed information regarding project locations and implementation plans will be released after final approvals are completed.

The committee also approved a strategic collaboration between the PPP cell of the Finance Department and the International Finance Corporation to strengthen the state’s PPP ecosystem and build a pipeline of viable infrastructure projects.

According to officials, the partnership will focus on project structuring, transaction advisory support and capacity-building initiatives aimed at attracting quality private investment into public infrastructure development.

Departments concerned have been instructed to submit detailed project reports within 60 days to enable final clearances and accelerate project execution. The initiative is expected to improve infrastructure delivery efficiency and expand private sector participation in essential public services across the state.
