If the entity is a State Government department/agency, then does the project belong to the State list as set out under Schedule VII of the Constitution of India, 1950?
For instance, a public entity which is a State Government department/agency does not have the authority to procure or award projects pertaining to national highways, railways, major ports, etc. to the private sector whereas an appropriate Central Government Department/Agency such as the National Highways Authority of India, the Ministry of Indian Railways or the Ports Trust can procure private sector participation in their sectors.
