'Indian Railways seeks pvt investment of Rs 30k cr'

Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant on September 17 reacted on Public-Private Partnership in passenger train operations. He said that the private sector investment that Railways is looking at is about Rs 30,000 crores. “We're looking at 109 Origin Destination pairs, divided into 12 clusters requiring 151 trains. They're being taken up for transparent competitive bidding and some most attractive routes, based on huge unmet demand, will be put out to run premium passenger services,” he said.
