Financing capital investments in urban infrastructure: constraints in accessing capital market by urban local bodies - 2001 - p.385-98 - 27 Jan
In recent years arranging funds for infrastructural facilities, particularly urban basic services, has become the major plank of urban development policy in India. In the absence of a current account surplus, governments have been forced to look for alternative sources of financing long-term investments needed for urban basic services. This paper examines the nitty-gritty of alternative/unconventional modes of financing infrastructure, particularly, urban basic services in the country and analyses their feasibility in the current urban context. - Reproduced
