Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) acts as a one-widow facilitator/one-stop organization to promote, encourage, facilitate and safeguard investment in the power sector of the country.
PPIB approves and facilitates the development and implementation of power projects and related infrastructure in private sector, public-private partnership and specified public sector projects.
The performance of PPIB is evident from the fact that under 1994,1995,2002 and 2015 Power Policies, the PPIB has so far managed to commission forty independent power projects (IPPs) totaling 17551 MW with a cumulative investment outlay of around US $ 20 billion . Out of these 40, nine IPPs of more than 8500 MW have since been commissioned within a short period of three years i.e. 2017 to 2020.
