Infrastructure Development, PPPs, and Regulation

Overview

The biggest constraint to growth in India and the developing world is infrastructure. Infrastructure, being a natural monopoly, has traditionally been the responsibility of the government for development. However, capacity deficit (financial and human) in government led to the involvement of private players with greater risk sharing, thus switching from the traditional contract model to the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model.

The advent of PPPs brought in significant challenges, for both the Government and the private players. While roles and mindset needed redefinition, especially on the Government side, appropriate regulation also became more critical. And there is also a greater need to learn from both successes and failures of PPPs in the infrastructure sector to bring in greater maturity and professionalism in this eco-system by developing competencies and perspectives.

This IIMBx course  Infrastructure Development, PPPs, and Regulation sheds light on infrastructure and its characteristics; key implications of Public-Private-Partnerships (PPPs) and commercialisation; and the factors that drive a successful PPP experience.

This course will also provide a grounding in theory and further build on case studies from various infrastructure sectors, leveraging India’s rich experience in PPPs. There is much that a global audience can learn from this course as the implications of commercialisation remain constant, irrespective of geography.
