Case studies on infrastructure in India

There are some nice papers/case studies on infrastructure related issues on the Committee of Infrastructure website. Scroll down on the website and in lower middle section there are 3 case studies:

1. Crash Programme for Power Generation 
2. Concession for the Delhi Noida Bridge
3. Concession for Port Terminal at JNPT

They look good. I have seen the Noida-Toll bridge study sometime back. Nice way to understand the infrastructure puzzle in the country.
