Draft regulatory reform bill - Secretariat for Infrastructure (Planning Commission) (2009)

This document is a draft regulatory reform bill that has been made in response to the economic liberalization process that has been claimed to distance the relationship between State ownership and its responsibility for providing infrastructure services, as compared to the earlier situation, where infrastructure was provided almost exclusively by the public sector.
This has ushered a gradual shift towards private investment in infrastructure services where independent regulation assumes a critical role.

The key provisions of the draft bill include an institutional framework for regulatory commissions, their role and functions, accountability to the legislature and interface with the markets and the people. The proposed bill, if enacted, will supplement the existing sector-specific laws that set out sectoral objectives.
