The Telangana Infrastructure Development Enabling Act, 2001
The Telangana Infrastructure Development Enabling Act, 2001
This statute provides a legal and institutional framework to promote, regulate, and facilitate public-private partnership infrastructure projects across specified sectors in Telangana. It applies to private developers, state government agencies, and local bodies undertaking joint infrastructure initiatives, while excluding purely public joint ventures and projects without new private investment. The law establishes an Infrastructure Authority to identify, prioritize, and oversee project approvals, bidding processes, and clearance procedures. It also creates a Conciliation Board for dispute resolution, penalizes environmental non-compliance, and sets up a dedicated fund to support developmental activities, thereby fostering efficient private investment in public infrastructure.
