1. Opportunities for Public-Private Partnerships in Railways 20 th May 2006

2. Background  High Growth Rate of Economy will generate Huge Transportation Demand  Pressure on existing Rail Network calls for Expansion of Capacities  Reducing cost of operation will require keeping pace with Technology  Capacity generation and Modernization will require Mobilization of Huge Funds  More than Rs. 47,000 Crores required to complete almost 240 sanctioned Projects

3. Public Partnership in Rail Infrastructure Projects Background  State Government offered Financial Participation Navi Mumbai connectivity through CIDCO in 1986 Creation of Konkan Railway Corporation in 1990 with State initiatives Sub-urban Projects in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata

4. Participation of States through SPV for financing Projects  Karnataka K-RIDE HMRDC  Maharashtra MRVC  Gujarat Kutch Railway Company Public Partnership in Rail Infrastructure Projects

5. Cost sharing in Rail Infrastructure Projects Jharkhand -6 projects Karnataka - 3 Projects Maharashtra- 3 Projects Tamil Nadu- 3 Projects West Bengal-1Project Andhra Pradesh- 1 Project Haryana- 1 Project Public Partnership in Rail Infrastructure Projects

6. Rail Projects through PPP  Surendranagar-Pipavav Gauge Conversion (PRCL) Pipavav Rail Corporation Limited Connectivity to Pipavav Port  Gandhidham-Palanpur Gauge Conversion (KRC) Kutch Railway Company Improving Connectivity to Mundra & Kandla Port

7. Recent Initiatives  Private parties to run container trains  Wagon Investment Scheme  Development of Rail-side Warehouses & Logistic Parks  Strengthening Rail –Port Connectivities  Development of Dedicated Freight Corridors

8. Private Operators for Container Operation  Sector Opened in 2006  Licenses offered for various corridors (Exim & Domestic) to 14 players  Rs 540 Crore generated as fees  Generation of Terminal & Wagon Capacity  ROR of approximately 20% for investors

9. Wagon Investment Scheme  Launched in 2005-06  Wagon procurement  Guaranteed supply of rakes for loading  10% rebate on freight charges  Rs 250 crore generated from 25 Rakes

10. Development of Rail Side Warehousing  Door-to-Door service  Land at nominal fees by Railways  5% minimum revenue to be shared with Railways  Lease period 30 years  MoU with CWC has been signed to set up rail side warehouse at 22 locations. Agreement finalised for 10 locations

11. Development of Logistics Parks  Objective: Complete logistics solution Reduction in Door Bridging Cost  Development of multi-user/ multi-commodity rail handling and warehousing facilities  State Government are invited to participate in the venture

12. Port Connectivity Works  Rail Connectivity provided to Mundra and Pipavav Port  Connectivity Strengthened for Mundra, Kandla and Mangalore Port  Strengthening / New Port Connectivity through SPV route being explored for Paradip, Krishnapatnam, Dahej and Hazira Ports by RVNL

13. Dedicated Freight Corridors  Capacity Augmentation considering growth in Container,Coal, Iron &Steel  2700 km Corridor on Eastern & Western Routes will cost Rs. 22,000 Crore  Incremental Traffic of 97 million tonne and 4 million TEU projected by 2021-22 on both corridors
