India : National Highway Corridor & Public Private Partnership
The project would finance the rehabilitation and upgrading of selected parts of the East-West Corridors with aim to alleviate capacity constraint of India's transport system. The objective of the TA is to strengthen feasibility studies to be carried out by NHAI's consultant, particularly with regard to environmental impact, resettlement and poverty impact. In addition, the TA would also carry out a screening test to identify possible opportunities for the private sector investment (PSI) in the highway development. The TA would have the following three components: Component A: Development of a road map for policy and institutional reforms to be pursued under the programmatic approach, together with identification of milestone actions that would trigger ADB's processing of the next project.
