The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has modified the definition of a 'private sector company' in the guidelines for financial support to Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure under the Viability Gap Funding (VGF) scheme.

This has been done to remove any ambiguity in interpretation of the term 'private sector company' and to align it with the definition of a Government company under the Companies Act 2013, an official release said.

The definition of a 'private sector company' has been amended to mean a company which is not a 'Government company'--as defined under Section 2(45) of the Companies Act 2013.
