Transaction Advisors for PPP Projects

Towards facilitating private investments in infrastructure, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Government of India has finalized a panel comprising of 11 Transaction Advisors available to all government agencies at central, state and local levels. The empanelment of these Transaction Advisors has been undertaken following a two stage international competitive bidding (ICB) process. Empanelled Advisors will provide necessary support in required transactions and offer commercial, financial and legislative advise for implementation of PPP transactions.

DEA has also prepared a user’s guide for the Panel for public private partnership projects. This guide outlines the role of the panel as Transaction Advisors, a step-by-step guide for government agencies to procure and retain the right Advisor depending on sector of work and scope of services expected, as well as on performance management of the Advisors.

More details on this initiative is available through DEA’s website www.pppinindia.com
