Strategic Perspectives on the Design of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)

The key to unlocking India’s potential as a leading global economic power lies in establishing a world-class infrastructure. Infrastructure investments are the most productive form of investment and generate significant employment opportunities to rural and urban poor, thereby helping create a sustainable economic growth model. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the central issues that pose challenges to the development of the infrastructure sector. This programme is designed to present a strategic overview of the challenges faced by the infrastructure sector in India based on real-world Indian case studies that illustrate the success/failure of infrastructure initiatives undertaken in the Indian economy. Specifically, we focus on the role of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) because there are obvious constraints on government funding, and private investment is a major recourse to economic growth. The programme emphasizes on the role of government regulation and legal environment on PPP design and on how project structuring and project financing choices must be made to ensure optimal risk allocation.

The programme would be of great value to middle and senior management, and other stake holders in various organizations dealing with infrastructure development. Specifically, officials from the following entities would find this programme beneficial: infrastructure firms in the private and public sector, government (state and central) officials dealing with infrastructure development, regulatory bodies that govern infrastructure sectors (e.g., airports, ports, highways, telecom, and internet economy), infrastructure financing NBFCs and public/private sector banks, multilateral financial institutions, and law and consulting firms engaged in infrastructure issues.

Participants will develop an in-depth understanding of project structuring, risk assessment and management, contract design, financial analysis, tendering and bidding. Enabling these abilities requires an appropriate financing environment, and regulatory and a legal infrastructure. The significance of these issues are highlighted through case studies, with a focus on generating systematic solutions.
