Centre Unveils Three-Year PPP Project Pipeline

The Department of Economic Affairs has prepared a three-year Public Private Partnership (PPP) project pipeline as part of the announcements made in the Union Budget 2025–26. The initiative aims to encourage greater private sector participation in building and improving the country’s infrastructure.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the pipeline includes 852 projects spread across various central infrastructure ministries, as well as states and Union Territories. The total estimated cost of these projects is more than ₹17 lakh crore, showing the large scale of investment planned over the next three years.

The ministry said the PPP pipeline will give early information about upcoming projects to investors, developers, and other stakeholders. This early visibility will help them plan better, assess risks in advance, and make well-informed investment decisions.

By clearly listing projects in sectors such as roads, railways, ports, energy, urban infrastructure, and others, the government hopes to speed up project execution and attract long-term private investment. Overall, the PPP pipeline is expected to strengthen infrastructure development, improve service delivery, and support economic growth across the country.
