This report has been prepared by Mark Dutz, Clive Harris, Inderbir Singh Dhingra (World Bank) and Chris Shugart (Consultant), at the request of Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance. The analysis of PPPs in India is supported by a short assignment by PwC involving a description of PPP projects undertaken in 12 states and 3 central agencies, together with supporting capacity building measures. The database was assembled by PwC in January 2005, with updates by the authors until March 2005. The Bank peer reviewers for the project were Alain Locussol, Mohammad Mustafa and Stephan van Klaudy. The report has benefited from feedback from the "Capacity Building Workshop for Public Private Partnerships" which was held in Delhi on February 7, 2005 in collaboration with DEA, and supported by the Bank's Water and Sanitation Program. The report also has benefited from feedback at an internal presentation to senior Ministry of Finance officials held in Delhi on March 17, 2005.
