This report is designed to provide
information and advice to the Indian Union and States
Governments on the principles and practicalities for
establishing a sound and sustainable system of highway
financing. The report reviews the economic principles for
establishing efficient and equitable road user charges (road
pricing), and examines the potential mechanisms for charging
road users. Present road taxation in India is assessed in
the light of these considerations as is the levels of
highway funding required to meet government objectives. The
report reviews the potential contribution of private sector
finance to the sector and assesses the present use of
private finance and the alternative possibilities for
utilizing the private sector in the financing and management
of the network. The report also examines the need for an
agenda of sector reform which addresses both the financial
and institutional frameworks needed to achieve network
sustainability and public acceptance of higher user charges. |
