The government is hoping to raise around Rs 55,000 Crores through auction of 111 EPC projects by the end of the current financial year as the
Road Ministry finalizes a proposal that will allow global pension funds to buy directly into existing Govt-owned EPC projects.
"Through this model, investors will be insulated from construction risk and will only have to take operations risk of running a project," a top Government source said.
The ministry wants this as a boost to the global road conference where Prime Minister
Narendra Modi will make a pitch to global investors to participate in the auction.
