Toll Roads will Benefit, Says Anil Bachoo

Anil Bachoo argued that the project is funded at 20% by the private sector and 80% by the government in the form of a loan. "All commercial risks will be managed by the private sector," stated Anil Bachoo. Several additional issues have raised from the opposition on the project.

Thus, Reza Uteem asked the minister why the government is proposing a 80% loan for the project when the government itself can invest in the project. The reason, according to Anil Bachoo, is that users of toll roads are not required to pay an excessive price compared to the rates to be charged by the private sector. The Minister of Public Infrastructure has also indicated that the risk will be transferred to investors. "They have to take the risk. Our offer ready, "he emphasized.

For the 'whip' of the opposition Rajesh Bhagwan, this project is a 'jackpot' for the promoter. At this point, Anil Bachoo would respond that it is not a question of 'jackpot', but to modernize the transport system for the benefit of everyone.
