India has the second largest road network in the world, spanning a total of 4.7 million kilometres. Roads in India bear about 85 per cent of the country's passenger traffic and 60 per cent of freight traffic.
The value of total roads and bridges infrastructure is expected to touch US$ 19.2 billion by 2017. The key factors responsible for driving demand in the sector have been the rise in two-wheeler and four-wheeler vehicles and increasing freight traffic. Rising per-capita incomes and a growing middle class coupled with easier access to finance and a wider price range of vehicles have boosted car sales. During 2007-14, the sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are expected to increase at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15 and 13.5 per cent to touch 3.5 and 0.85 million respectively.
Infrastructure spending by the government is expected to touch US$ 1 trillion in the next Five-Year Plan (FY13-17). To promote the sector, the government has allowed 100 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) under the automatic route. Development of national highways through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is expected to remain the key focus area for the government. During the next five years, investments through PPP are expected to be over USD41 billion for national highways and around USD10 billion for state highways.

The document summarizes a panel discussion on public-private partnerships for high-speed rail development. The panelists discussed the market demand and federal support for high-speed rail, an introduction to P3 project structures, the legal authority of public agencies to pursue P3s for high-speed rail, and lender perspectives. P3s can help accelerate infrastructure projects by sharing risks and costs between the public and private sectors, though they also carry disadvantages like long-term contracts and potential loss of public control. States vary in whether they have legislation enabling P3s specifically for high-speed rail projects.
Project financing and public-private partnerships (PPPs) allow major infrastructure projects to be funded off the government's balance sheet using a mix of public and private funding. PPPs follow several key stages including project identification, feasibility studies, equity and debt arrangement, negotiation, construction, operation, and repayment. They allocate risks to the public or private sector best able to manage each risk. Pakistan has successfully completed several PPP projects and has many more currently underway or in the pipeline managed through provincial PPP units.

OECD review of the PPP governance framework in the United-Kingdom: preliminar...OECD Governance
The document summarizes the preliminary results of an OECD review of the UK's PPP governance framework. It finds that the UK has a comprehensive institutional framework for PPPs that aligns with OECD principles on transparency, value for money, and budgeting. Key aspects include the National Infrastructure Plan for prioritizing projects, guidance in the Green Book for evaluating delivery options, and transparency tools like the Whole of Government Accounts. The framework has evolved over time, with reforms through the PF2 model, but continues to provide integrity in the procurement process.
This document discusses strengthening public investment management. It notes there are varying definitions of public investment across countries. There is renewed global attention on ensuring efficiency of public spending in light of fiscal stimulus plans and uncertain growth. However, increased government investment does not always translate to productive assets due to issues like project delays. Proper public investment management is complex due to factors such as localized benefits, multi-year timelines, and involvement of both public and private sectors. Reform requires a tailored strategy that strengthens key steps in the project cycle in a carefully sequenced manner, while balancing improved appraisal and implementation. The World Bank's agenda aims to provide analytics, tools, policy dialogue and operational assistance to support better public investment management.
The document proposes establishing a State Road Development Corporation based on the model of the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC).

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Editor's Notes
The Gov Interests for getting into PPP world can be summarized in these 3 bullets: Permanent growth, Outsourcing of Gov services & optimization that can be translated into economic efficiency
The reasons are: Best effect on growth, National need, efficiency, Technology
This is the typical model that is used in Israel. The entities and connections between them are based on the UK PPP model. The ceding authority, the SPV/C, the subcontractors/ third party operator for EPC & O&M, Sponsors (Equity and track record) & Lenders. 8-10 big sponsors & 2 major banks
Major pros & cons of PPP as we see it here are listed in this slide. The integration of short-long term concerns, the best mitigation of risks, and the efficiency of private sector hopefully deliver savings v. the tender costs & the extra risk premium of private sector.
Through the 12 years of PPP in Israel we’ve adopted the British model. And till today no record of controversial between what is accustomed by the world bank PPP standards and our projects. We offer local rating and refinance option for provident funds, Insurance companies and other institutional investors
Since we started with these improvements, we had foreign banks in Hadera Desali. And Tel Aviv LRT. we
