CCI maiden meet today to fast track major infra projects facing hurdles
Subhash Narayan, Ashish Sinha: New Delhi, Jan 30 2013, 02:05 IST
over $ 4.5 billion are stuck due to pending environmental and forest clearances and issues related to land acquisition. The road ministry has already sent a list of about 15 projects worth over Rs 1,000 crore projects to the CCI for faster decisions.
“In most of the power projects, fuel-related issues have delayed projects. While parallel efforts are on at the ministry level to address the issues, the PM-led committee’s intervention has been called to prevent any further delays,” said the official quoted earlier.
The committee has been set up to oversee approvals in sectors such as energy, railways, roads and highways, airports, telecommunications, information technology, irrigation, housing and urban development. Though initially the committee was proposed to play a more proactive role by taking over the work of a ministry found in default in giving clearances, it would now play the role of a facilitator, bringing all government bodies on a single platform to resolve issues faster.
