Q. What is the full form of BOLT in infrastructure financing?
Answer: Build, Own, Lease, Transfer
Notes: BOLT stands for Build, Own, Lease, Transfer. In this model, a private entity constructs and owns the infrastructure facility, leases it to a government or public sector agency for an agreed period, and afterward transfers ownership to the public authority. The model was adopted to attract private investment in public infrastructure in India from the 1990s and is used in sectors like transportation and power.
