Descrizione Improving Delivery Outcomes in PPPs in Road Infrastructure in India
Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are being increasingly preferred by governments across the world for filling the infrastructure deficit, as they are claimed to provide access to private capital and bring private sector efficiencies in provisioning of public services. In India too, a distinct policy shift towards PPPs has been observed accompanied by a high degree of reliance on such partnerships to upscale the transport infrastructure. There have however been serious issues regarding the presumed superiority,effectiveness and profitability of the private sector in such partnerships giving rise to advocacy for an enhanced role of the State in governance of PPPs.This book examines the governance issues of PPPs in road sector in India to anaylse the division of roles and responsibilities, allocation of risks and sharing of benefits by the State and the private partners within the PPPs. It furnishes a deeper perspective of the governance issues of PPPs from a developing country, and suggests measures to strengthen the structures and mechanisms within the public and private partners to improve public infrastructure within the PPP framework.
