A meeting of the National Policy Commission, the Ministry of Railways and the Public-Private Partnership Appraisal Committee decided that a private company running trains would have to deposit a security deposit of three per cent of the total amount spent on the railway project.
However, the policy commission felt that there was no need to take security deposit from companies undertaking such a big project. The companies have invested Rs 30,000 crore for the bar cluster in which private trains are to run, so if we do not take a deposit from them, it will work.
