Since 1951, the length of road has increased 12 times .The financing affects the road construction. International institutions and fuel taxes are the key sources of funding these projects .But current system of infrastructure financing is not sufficient to deal with future investment and hence we need to explore new model to attract private capital and augment the fiscal base of central and sub-national government.. The private sector will be interested in road development only when we strengthen regulatory frameworks and deepen and broaden domestic financial markets. But due to having majority of road under public good characteristics in our country, most of the funding for road construction and maintenance come from the establishment of road-related charges.

This sector is has been steeringIndia's overall development and govt has focused it seriously and initiated policies to ensure time-bound creation of world class infrastructure in the country. Many advanced economies and fiscal constrained developing countries developed their physical infrastructure successfully either with the help of private participation or through public-private partnership model, India have initiated public-private partnership models that have been used in procuring the National Highways projects under Build Operate-Transfer (Toll) and Build Operate Transfer (Annuity) models. Ministery of Road Transport and Highways, and Shipping, has announced the government's target of Rs 25,000 crores investment in infrastructure over a period of three years, which will include Rs 8,000 crores for developing 27 industrial clusters and an additional Rs 5,000 Crores for road, railway and port connectivity projects.In August 2016, India jumped 19 places in World Bank's Logistics Performance Index 2016, to rank 35th amongst 160 countries.The private participation in the process of infrastructure development has received lackluster response. While private telecom services is a success story in India, the Public Private Partnershipconstitutes a miniscule share in overall infrastructure building despite initiation of various policy adjustments and sector-specific reform programmes.This paper focuses on the various approaches that have been used for financing of road projects in India This in turn influences the selection of the type of Public Private Partnershipmodel that is considered most appropriate for the concerned project.

In 1996, India accorded Most Favored Nation Status to Pakistan thereby offering Pakistan the same trading regime as it offers to any other country in the world. Pakistan, on the other hand, continued to allow imports of a limited number of items from India, collectively known as the positive list; although the number of items on the list has increased gradually. The positive list was even more restrictive for road-based trade, as Pakistan allowed only thirteen items on the positive list to be imported from India by road. One of the most significant developments in India-Pakistan trade has been that Pakistan made substantial progress in the process of granting Most Favored Nation Status to India in 2012 by switching from the positive list approach which allowed trade in a limited number of items to a small negative list of items in which trade is not permitted. Similarly the items allowed to be traded by the road route were also increased. India, on the other hand, also undertook several measures to address non-tariff barriers as part of the trade normalization process. Since then no further trade liberalization has taken place. As the two countries prepared themselves for the 2014 elections in India, neither was interested in undertaking new measures. After the new Government came to power in 2014, several attempts were made to resume the bilateral dialogue but these were cancelled due to increasing political tensions between the two countries. The high-level foreign secretary level talks between India and Pakistan scheduled for August 2014 and the National Security Advisors meet scheduled for August 2015 were cancelled. Political tensions have remained high and the resumption of dialogue in the near future seems unlikely

This abstract provides an overview of the role, impact, and challenges of PPPs in India's road sector. PPPs encompass various models like Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), and Toll-Operate-Transfer (TOT), attracting substantial private investments and expertise. They have accelerated project execution, enhanced infrastructure quality, and contributed to economic growth. However, challenges such as land acquisition, regulatory frameworks, and financial viability persist. Addressing these challenges is crucial for leveraging PPPs to reduce regional disparities and ensure sustainable transportation connectivity in India. Successful PPP implementation underscores effective risk allocation, contract management, and stakeholder engagement as key drivers of India's ambitious infrastructure development goals.

This research provides a comprehensive evaluation of the scope, expansion, and sustainability of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in Maharashtra, with a particular focus on rural areas. While acknowledging the positive impact of microfinance on societal well-being, the study raises concerns regarding the long-term viability of these institutions. The research takes an in-depth look into the operational dynamics of microfinance, highlighting the delicate equilibrium between outreach and sustainability. Key aspects covered include the necessity for microfinance, the presence of MFIs in rural Maharashtra, and the impact of microfinance on poverty reduction. Additionally, the study analyses client feedback, the role of informal financial organizations, and the contribution of MFIs to rural financing.

Microfinance, rooted in providing financial services to low-income self-employed individuals, includes savings, credit, insurance, and payment services. It distinguishes between microfinance and microcredit, tracing their unique contributions. The historical evolution, marked by the 1980s turning point with institutions like Grameen Bank, and global recognition through initiatives like the Microcredit Summit and the UN's 2005 declaration, underscore the growing importance of microfinance in development. The literature identifies various Microfinance Institution (MFI) models, such as ROSCAs, Grameen Solidarity Groups, and Village Banking, highlighting challenges in obtaining accurate data on their numbers. Advocates stress microfinance's role in assisting poor households, improving economic welfare, and empowering women. However, skeptics emphasize potential drawbacks, calling for nuanced poverty understanding and effective impact assessments. The ongoing debate on microfinance's effectiveness as a poverty reduction tool necessitates comprehensive assessments beyond market proxies, underlining its critical role in development.

In corporate finance the agency problem i.e. a conflict between company management and companies shareholder has constantly been consider as potential weakness. The main purpose in this paper is to study the impact of ownership pattern on dividend policy of the selected company Listed at BSE 500. Since dividend policy is affected by many other variables, we have taken debt equity ratio, net profit ratio and cash flow as controlling variables in the study. The data has been extracted from Bombay stock exchange and company website. The multiple regression analysis has been used to study the effect of share holding pattern on dividend policy. The result revels that 4 % of variation has been explained by the independent variables (promoters, foreign institutional shareholding and institutional shareholding).

Given the enormity of the investment requirements and the limited availability of public resources for investment in physical infrastructure, it is imperative to explore avenues for increasing investment in infrastructure through a combination of public investment, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and occasionally, exclusive private investment wherever feasible The use of PPP an as instrument of procurement for creation of infrastructure assets and delivery of public services has been recognized globally. Apart from bridging the deficit in financing of public projects, PPPs also brings new and cost effective technology for creation of infrastructure assets, managerial efficiency, competency for operation and maintenance of the created assets and the contractual accountability on the private party to ensure timely and quality infrastructure service to the end users. As a result, private investment in infrastructure has picked up in recent years, encouraging the government to go for a more ambitious infrastructure creation drive through greater emphasis on PPP mode of execution. The private sector is expected to contribute at least half of the over $1 trillion dollar investment planned in infrastructure in the XII plan (2012-17). It has been observed worldwide that it is difficult for the private sector to meet the financial requirements of infrastructure in isolation at the same time tackling the risks inherent to building infrastructure. Therefore, the PPP model has come to represent a logical, viable and necessary option for the Government and the private sector to work together. Public Private Partnership (PPP) project as per Government of India means a project based on a long term contract or concession agreement, between a Government or statutory entity on the one side and a private sector company on the other side, for delivering an infrastructure service on payment of user charges.
