Planning
Commission had constituted a Steering Committee on Urbanization to make
recommendations in context of formulation of the 12th five year Plan.
This Committee had in turn, constituted different Working Groups
including Working Group on Urban Transport to suggest recommendations
for various sub-sectors. The aforesaid Working Group on Urban Transport
has inter-alia stated that Public Private Partnership in Metro Rail
projects should be permitted if a project is found to be fit and viable
for this approach on account of ridership alone. This, however, should
not be linked with providing land for property development beyond what
is needed for the operation of rail transit.
The recommendations of the different working groups were examined by the Steering Committee on Urbanization for making recommendations for formulation of 12th Plan. Its recommendations of various other expert bodies are input for formulating the 12th plan. The 12th Plan has not been finalized as yet by Planning Commission.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Urban Development Shri Saugata Roy in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
