A high-level committee to approve public private partnership (PPP) projects today cleared five infrastructure sector projects envisaging total investment of about Rs 7,000 crore.
The projects, which have been sanctioned by the PPP Approval Committee, include development of highways (Agra-Etawah, Rampur-Kathgodam and Raipur-Bilaspur), a Finance Ministry official said.
The committee, chaired by Economic Affairs Secretary R Gopalan, has also asked the ministries concerned to submit status report on development of PPP projects approved earlier, the official said.
"It also sought details on those projects which did not receive any bids though they were approved by the committee," he added.
