Government Unveils Rs 17 Lakh Crore PPP Infrastructure Project Pipeline

The government on Tuesday announced a significant push to accelerate infrastructure development through public-private partnerships, unveiling a PPP project pipeline comprising 852 projects with a combined value exceeding Rs 17 lakh crore.

The projects span central infrastructure ministries as well as states and Union Territories.

As outlined in the Union Budget 2025-26, the Department of Economic Affairs under the Ministry of Finance has put together a three-year Public-Private Partnership project pipeline to enhance private sector participation in large-scale infrastructure development.

“In pursuance of the implementation of the announcement in the Union Budget 2025-26, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance, has created a three-year Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project pipeline,” the ministry said.

According to the government, the pipeline includes proposals submitted by central infrastructure ministries along with various states and Union Territories.

“The PPP project pipeline comprises 852 projects across Central Infrastructure Ministries and States/Union Territories with a combined total project cost of over Rs 17 lakh crore,” it added.

The advance listing of projects offers early visibility to investors, developers and other stakeholders, enabling more effective planning of investments and resources.

Officials said the initiative would help improve transparency and predictability in infrastructure planning.

“The pipeline provides early visibility of potential PPP projects to enable investors, developers and other stakeholders to undertake more informed planning and investment decisions,” the ministry stated.

The PPP pipeline is also expected to support the mobilisation of long-term private capital in sectors critical to economic growth, reflecting the government’s focus on leveraging private expertise to accelerate infrastructure creation while ensuring improved execution and value for money in public projects.
