The Gujarat Infrastructure Development (Amendment) Act, 2006 modifies the legal framework governing public-private infrastructure projects across the state of Gujarat. It applies to private developers, state government agencies, and public authorities engaged in infrastructure development. The amendment clarifies definitions for concessions and project proposals, caps direct financial assistance from the state at twenty percent of a project's cost, and updates bidding procedures. Importantly, it allows direct negotiations with developers for special projects involving proprietary technology, social services, essential project links, or situations where competitive public bidding failed. This Act matters because it streamlines approval processes and expands flexible procurement options to attract private investment for state infrastructure.
