Government has not loose hope for the betterment of the Delhi Airport Metro Project, which is yet suspended since July 8. Government is not ready to think that the public-private-partnership model is not suitable for the projects.
Urban Development Secretary Sudhir Krishna said in this regards that the urban development ministry is upbeat and positive about the future of PPP models in infrastructure, including the Delhi Metro Airport Express project, which will be soon operational after final nod from the Commissioner for Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) to resume services.
"Problems in the Delhi Metro Airport Express, a PPP model, should not be taken as failure of all such PPP projects in the infrastructure sector," he added.
Krishna said measures were being taken to resolve the issue between Delhi Metro and Reliance, the concessionaire of the Airport Metro Express Line, India's first public-private partnership Metro project.
He defended the PPP model in infrastructure sector and said, "The other PPP projects taken up by the urban development ministry under the urban renewal mission involving solid waste management projects are a roaring success."
