U.S. FTA lauds Hyderabad metro rail project

HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Metro Rail Ltd (HMRL), on Saturday, received support from the most unexpected quarters — James S. Simpson, Administrator, Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation — when he described as outstanding its concession agreement under the public-private partnership (PPP).

To a query at a press conference here, Mr. Simpson said that it was one of the largest PPP projects in the world. It was really the way America was built over the last 100 years. The government granted land and other facilities for taking up infrastructure development by private parties.
