IED Rationale 
 
The TA was relevant given that despite the minor design deficiency, it was 
responsive to the government’s infrastructure development agenda as outlined in the 
Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012–2017) and aligned with ADB’s country partnership 
strategy 2013–2017 for India. The TA was less than effective since the outcomes 
were not achieved and not all outputs were fully delivered. Finally, the TA was less 
than efficient given the extension of the implementation period by 30 months and a 
disbursement rate of only 30.1%. Socioeconomic benefits were insignificant. Overall, 
this validation assesses the TA less than successful.

IED Rationale 
 
According to the TA completion report (TCR), the government will continue to require 
outside technical expertise in the DEA PPP cell for the appraisal and evaluation of 
PPP projects since it is usually not available within the government. The TCR 
mentioned that DEA is continuing the establishment of 3P India, draft plan of which 
was prepared under this TA. Further, the South Asia Department shared during the 
interdepartmental commenting stage that the DEA PPP cell has received multi-year 
technical assistance of £10 million provided by the United Kingdom’s Foreign, 
Commonwealth and Development Office. This support is helping to continue key 
activities done under the TA, including support for setting up 3P India, which was 
considered as a sustainable model that would provide long-term support for PPPs.
In addition, the DEA annual reports reflect the continuation of PPP enabling activities 
of DEA PPP cell.
Taking everything together, this validation assesses the TA likely sustainable.
