The Indian government has resolved to vigorously pursue the PPP model to fill up the gaps in the delivery of essential infrastructure services. Capacity development for public-private partnerships (PPPs) at the state and federal levels is an initiative that the Ministry of Finance has taken up. Due to the fact that long-term economic development necessitates infrastructure expenditures, governments are under increasing pressure to develop innovative approaches to financing this vital sector. When faced with such a demand and limited resources, policymaking rather than physical construction may prove to be the best use of government time and money. Indeed, the data demonstrate that governments have struggled to provide on their own the essential infrastructure and public amenities required to sustain economic development. However, private companies cannot be relied on to construct and provide these public infrastructures on their own. Partnerships between the public and commercial sectors that benefit both parties may be useful for these reasons. As governments throughout the globe strive to offer more and better services to their constituents on constrained budgets, a new era of organisational innovation in the delivery of public services has emerged. Decisionmakers in the public sector, like their private sector counterparts, are increasingly debating whether or not to provide certain services in-house or to seek out private sector partners instead. We now have concepts like "alternative service delivery" (ASD) and "public private partnerships" (PPP) thanks to the search for novel methods of public service creation and distribution. The acronym ASD stands for "alternative supply arrangements," which are any number of different ways that goods and services that would normally be provided by publicly traded firms might instead be provided by private entities. Not only will public-private partnerships (P3s) play a role in this, but so will the outsourcing of services and the total privatisation of some enterprises. Since the term "public-private partnership" is used in a variety of contexts, it is difficult to pin down a precise meaning that applies to all situations. According to the British Columbia Ministry of Finance, "public-private partnerships" (P3s) are "legal arrangements between a government and a private entity for the provision of assets and the delivery of services that have traditionally been provided by the public sector" (2002). Unlike the "supplier" relationship, in which the government decides exactly what it wants and buys it, and the "public enterprise" model, in which the government produces the services with no private sector involvement, these and other definitions all centre on the idea of shared decision-making authority. A common component of definitions is the idea of mutual participation in both risk and reward. Below, we'll take a closer look at the widely held opinion in the P3 industry's literature that P3s provide for the optimum allocation of risk. If you want the private sector to gladly participate, it's essential to share the rewards.

Phuyal, Mohan. (2022) This article takes a look at the current status of PPPs in India. The article provides a concise background on where PPP came from and how it has been used to different infrastructure fields. Public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects have been widely implemented in India since the New Economic Policy (NEP) was enacted in 1991 as economic liberalization. There has been a recent uptick in the PPP method's use for procurement in infrastructure fields including transportation, power, and utilities. In India, the implementation of PPP projects has been hampered by a number of factors, including the unpredictability of the procurement models used, the lack of clear rules and regulations, and the ambiguity of institutional responsibility for procurement, management, and monitoring of these projects. Thus, the Public-Private Partnership Appraisal Committee seldom recommends PPP projects (PPPAC). Most projects at the federal and state levels are awarded based on unsolicited offers and are the result of ad hoc arrangements and direct negotiation. The inefficient and confusing project execution and monitoring process is only one more way in which the ad hoc approach contributes to the government's financial risk.

Sandeep G. Kudtarkar (2021)This article's goal is to shed light on the reasons so many public-private partnership (PPP) projects in India's biggest PPP programme ran into difficulties and were ultimately scrapped. This article draws the conclusion, supported by quantitative and qualitative case study research, that adverse selection, moral hazard, opportunism, and delays in PPP projects have their origins in the poor structure of PPP contracts, ambiguity, and information asymmetry. A number of projects have failed because of poor and unfair risk sharing among parties and the inadequate structure of PPP contracts, ambiguity, and information asymmetry lead to adverse selection, moral hazard, opportunism, and delays in PPP projects, and private developers have avoided being engaged in public infrastructure projects entirely. This paper provides a 20-point conceptual institutional framework specifying policy and project-level mechanisms for the effective implementation of the future PPP programme in India and other developing nations with a comparable socioeconomic backdrop post-COVID-19 pandemic.

Anaïs Fabre (2021)Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have been widely implemented in the areas of infrastructure, education, and healthcare, and this article provides a summary of what is known about their influence in these areas. It sets forth the primary components of economic theory necessary to analyse the cost-benefit analysis of PPPs vs public supply of complex projects. It provides context for PPPs by looking back across time. In doing so, it examines empirical assessments of PPP efficacy and, if applicable, its implications for social consequences. In the end, it offers judgments on interdisciplinary factors, such as contract design, regulation, renegotiations, and institutional difficulties, that affect the effectiveness of PPPs. This report organises and evaluates the history of evidence and highlights some of the most promising avenues for further study.

Phuyal, mohan. (2020).There has already been a huge uptick in public-private partnerships. But there is a dearth of regulations and ramifications when looking at the bigger picture of actual application. Consequently, the central government mechanism had difficulty coordinating projects. Thus, it is fair to say that Indian PPPs have been used ad hoc, giving government agencies some leeway in negotiating partnership agreements. This study reveals that there is a disjointed body of knowledge and practice regarding PPPs in India. Transportation public-private partnerships (PPPs) involving highways, airports, and seaports have been addressed. Reforms that encourage more critical thinking about PPPs and other forms of public-private partnership (PPPs) and that promote learning will be difficult to implement. Actors are set in their ways of interacting with PPPs and are eager to continue down their individual paths. Nevertheless, there are still many obstacles to implementing this model in India. This paper will provide a theoretical and practical analysis of the current state of affairs, trends, and challenges.

Bhumi Patel (2019)This report discusses the present status of PPP initiatives in India. Broad in scope, public-private partnerships (PPPs) are a technique used to increase the monetary worth of public sector infrastructure projects. According to a large body of academic literature, public-private partnerships (PPPs) may significantly boost infrastructure efficiency. The purpose of this research was to examine the current PPP and research issues with PPP infrastructure projects. Including time-to-completion as a metric of performance and, by extension, profit, leads to improved project completion and less delays on infrastructure projects. In addition, the present government's part in infrastructure development is analysed.

Ananya Malik (2019)In many parts of the globe, public-private partnerships are flourishing. This article defines PPP, discusses how it differs from Public Sector Procurement, and provides a concise summary of how it compares to privatization. Specifically, it draws attention to the many different PPP modules that exist. It emphasizes the dangers and benefits of PPP in India's infrastructure development and growth.

PurbaHalady Rao (2019)There is still an urgent need to address the problem of emerging nations' inadequate access to basic public services. Public private partnerships (PPPs) are a means through which the government and the private sector may work together to provide such services. Research was conducted empirically to determine how well-informed Indian business leaders are about the advantages and potential pitfalls of public-private partnerships (PPPs). This paper details the investigation. The goal was reached with the use of a questionnaire on the pros and cons of PPPs that was utilised in empirical study. Managers between the ages of 25 and 45 made up the bulk of the sample frame. The study found that Efficiency and fair risk sharing were the two most important advantages to the public sector. When it comes to the private sector, the concept of risk and investment sharing is paramount. Possibility of Delay, ineffective regulations, and policies are all major obstacles.

Jens K. Roehrich, Michael A. (2014)Governments throughout the globe, and particularly in Europe, are increasingly turning to public-private partnerships to fund and operate public health infrastructure and provide essential public health services. Reasons for its adoption range from the need for innovation through private sector expertise and the pursuit of improved risk management to the growing costs associated with restoring, maintaining, and managing public assets. Despite the fact that PPPs in healthcare delivery have attracted practitioner and academic attention over the last two decades, no effort has been done to bridge the gap between the general and health management literature to give a comprehensive understanding of PPPs. Over the course of 20 years, this research examines more than 1,400 papers from a variety of fields. Although this is a large and important phenomenon, we find that it has not received nearly enough theoretical attention or rigorous empirical study. We use a systematic, multi-faceted approach to public-private partnerships based on an analysis of relevant literature and data. By doing so, we point the way for future studies and improvements in the field.

Rajeev Kumar Arora (2014)India's academic community is paying attention to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) because it offers a fresh perspective on how to tackle development issues. It uses a workable, practical, and expanding model of sustainable development where private and public organizations connect and cooperate to serve the public benefit. Services would still mostly be provided by the public sector, but the private sector may be seen as an agency that promotes infrastructure by contributing all inputs, including financial. As a result of being saddled with a wide variety of unpredictability’s, the public sector doesn't seem to be under much pressure to maximize its financial disposableness. These obligations are become much more demanding since there are fewer resources available. Therefore, the work of development can't be ignored. Additionally, the PPP may effectively mobilize private sector financial inputs and a savvy management structure to assure market-oriented activities. It's not fair who gets what PPP project in India. The states in southern India have received a greater amount of funding relative to the rest of India. Public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives are often found in "hard infrastructure" industries. However, more of it should have gone into improving social and economic equity by strengthening intangibles like education and healthcare. Roads, ports, eco-tourism, silos, petroleum reserves, ropeway, telecommunications, railroad stations, commuter trains, and metros are only few of the key project types where PPP activities have been carried out. Scholars consider PPP a potential instrument for speeding up interventions, given its focus on the fast track of service delivery and its role as an engine to highlight results. For its part, the private sector has been given the chance to reap the benefits of PPP under the form of a guaranteed, ongoing payout. Utilizing private sector knowledge and experience to improve public services is what drives the microeconomic benefits of PPP projects. Even while private sector feasibility studies can reduce project risks, all private sector stakeholders have some degree of responsibility for any losses that may occur. However, the cost of PPP-delivered services tends to be high. Time-induced expenditures are often not included in the procurement process, thus any savings reaped as a result of using this method become all the more apparent. PPP projects can only expand in the direction they are headed because of the inherent complexity and rigidity of their design.

This study is an example of exploratoryinquiry and takes an inquisitive, conceptual approach to its research. The study was conducted to get an understanding of P3s as they pertain to infrastructure projects and to analyze their contribution to the economy of India. Several different types of secondary data and information were used to write this article, including publicly accessible GOI materials, project documents, and academic articles. Google Scholar, JSTOR, Science Direct, etc. have all been utilized by the authors in their research. Data ware also collected from a wide variety of resources, including books, journals and newspapers.

Impact of Private-Public Partnerships on Economic Growth

Increases in investment and productivity are the engines that power economic expansion, which in turn raises wages and improves people's quality of life. Can PPPs lead to higher marginal production because of more efficient resource use?

It's beneficial for both private businesses and the government to work together. For instance, Efficiency in public service delivery might be enhanced with the support of private-sector technology and innovation. The government's role is to incentivize private sector efficiency and promptness in completing projects. As an added bonus, a nation's infrastructure, as well as the construction, equipment, support services, and other industries related to it, may benefit from economic diversification, making the country more competitive.

It has been argued that public-private partnerships (PPPs) are detrimental to economic development because they force businesses and workers to shift resources away from achieving market-driven goals and toward achieving political goals. Proponents rebut by arguing that the efficient delivery of public goods like schools and roads contributes to broader economic development. Conversely, skeptics of public-private partnerships argue that private companies might do just as well a job of providing public goods without any help from the government at all.

Sectors of Indian Economy

• India's massive population, favorable demographics, and great catch-up potential due to low baseline GDP per head make it the fastest growing big economy in the world.

• In 2017, India overtook France as the world's sixth biggest economy, with a GDP of USD 2.59 trillion, according to figures from the World Bank; A forecast by global consultant company PwC predicts that India will overtake the United Kingdom as the world's largest economy in 2019.

Figure-1: World Economy

• Goods and services are the end result of economic activity, while sectors are the categorized groups of economic activities.
• The Indian economy may be broken down into several segments based on factors including ownership structure, employee benefits, and business focus.
• During the dawn of civilization, the primary sector was the only place where money changed hands. The growth of the secondary sector may be traced back to the rise in demand for non-food items that followed the food glut.
• During the nineteenth-century industrial revolution, the secondary sector expanded and had a profound impact.
• This industrial action required a structure of support. Transportation and finance, for example, played crucial roles in facilitating manufacturing.
  

Figure- 2: Sectors of Indian Economy

Primary Sector

Businesses in the Primary sector of the economy rely heavily on the use of raw materials. A few examples of businesses in this sector include agriculture, mining, fishing, forestry, dairy, etc.

The fact that it serves as the foundation for all other goods is what gives rise to the product's moniker. Agriculture, dairy, forestry, and fisheries all contribute to this sector, which is often known as the "allied sector" since these industries provide so many of the world's natural resources.

Due to the inherent dangers inherent with their employment, those who participate in primary tasks are referred to as "red-collar workers.".

Secondary Sector

These are the businesses that use raw resources from the primary sector to create a variety of consumer goods. This area includes manufacturing, textile manufacturing, sugar cane cultivation, and other similar industries.

Industrial production, therefore, refers to the sector of an economy that creates finished products as opposed to raw materials.

This area is sometimes referred to as the industrial sector because of its ties to several enterprises.

Blue collar employees are those that are involved in tertiary activities.

Current scenario of PPP in India

The above-mentioned enabling environment had a noticeable effect on the Indian economic scene, as shown by a rise in the number of PPP projects and investment in infrastructure.

Table- 1: Growth in PPP projects and investment

Investment in PPP projects in India skyrocketed between the 10th and 12th plan, as seen in Table 1. The expected growth rate is 50% for the 12th plan, up from 25% in the 10th plan and the revised projection of 36% in the 11th plan. This demonstrates the success of the initiatives undertaken to foster a PPP environment in India, as seen by the growing role of the private sector in India's infrastructure development.

Figure- 3: PPP projects and investment

Private Participation in Infrastructure

The level of private investment in LIDCs' infrastructure is low. From 2000 to 2010, LIDCs were responsible for 10% of all PPP projects and 6% of their total value across all emerging markets and developing nations (Figure 9). 15 About 0.4% of LIDC GDP in PPP terms was generated during the last five years, a figure that is comparable to that of EMs. PPP flows have decreased in recent years, after an initial surge in the early 2010s. For more recent data and case studies of successful PPP projects in Africa, see the latest report from the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa (ICA, 2017). Since 2010, LIDC PPP projects have spent a total of USD 43 billion, with over USD 20 billion going to Asia and USD 11 billion going to Sub-Saharan Africa. Table 2 shows that although Vietnam and Bangladesh have the most active projects, Lao PDR is the clear volume leader. 16 It has also been possible to fund regional initiatives via public-private partnerships. Many regional infrastructure projects, most notably in the energy and transportation industries, can be found all throughout Africa (UNCTAD, 2016).

PPPs in Railways

Indian Railways is a massive system that spans the whole nation and serves as a reliable transportation backbone. Indian railroads turned to public-private partnerships (PPP) to create, renovate, expand, and strengthen the train infrastructure so that freight and passenger traffic could move more efficiently and comfortably. In January of 2003, a government agency called Rail Vikas Nigam was established to oversee the rolling out of the National Rail Vikas Yojna. The only way for the Indian economy to thrive in a manner that benefits all of its citizens is for the country's railroads to be upgraded and expanded significantly. To demonstrate the viability of the PPP model, the minister of railways has pledged to construct 400 prototype stations around the country in 2018.

The World Bank and the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation (DFCC) announced in December 2014 that they had reached a credit deal to fund the construction of the 393-kilometer second phase of the eastern dedicated freight corridor from Ludhiana to Dankuni. The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation (DFCC) was formed as a "special purpose entity" to oversee the development, building, operation, and maintenance of the dedicated freight corridor stretching from Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port.

PPPS In Road Transport

One of the most important aspects of infrastructure, roads link production facilities, farms, and consumer markets, all of which contribute to economic expansion. Public-private partnerships (PPP) were encouraged to be used as much as possible in the 12th five-year plan to improve public services. Highways, important district roads, expressways, and other roads in India total almost 4.1 million miles of pavement. Public-private partnership (PPP) activity was strongly pushed for in the 12th five-year plan to improve public services. The government has come to realise that public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the highway and road sector may speed up the expansion of existing infrastructure. Although the PPP model was slow to catch on in India, states there have now implemented it for the transportation sector. The NHSDP has been aggressively pursuing the PPP model for highway development. Given the size and scope of the road transport and highway project, it became clear that creative funding options needed to be investigated.

Models Of PPP Adopted in India

BOT and BOT are the two PPP methods used by India to build the National Highway.

(a) BOT (Toll) Model:

The Concessionaire in a Build-Operate-Transfer (Toll) model may recoup his costs by collecting tolls from motorists who utilize the facility. This arrangement both reduces the government's financial outlay and places the duty of managing traffic hazards on the Concessionaire. If you're working on a highway project, chances are this is the kind of model you'll employ.

(b) BOT (Annuity) Model:

The Concessionaire's investment is protected under a BOT Annuity model by the promise of regular annuity payments. However, the government takes on all of the risk associated with toll revenue as the Concessionaire is not responsible for traffic flow.

1. The NHDP's original two-year duration has been extended to seven.

2. The Bharat Joro projects (Golden Quadrilateral Projects) have been begun in partnership with commercial construction businesses, both local and international, with the goal of developing a network of roads totaling 10,000 kilometers, linking the capitals of the several states to the national highways.

PPP In Health Care Sector

As the Indian economy has developed and its population has shifted, so too have its healthcare needs. The government of India is under growing pressure and scrutiny to improve the quality of services and expand citizens' access to them in light of the country's rapidly expanding population. Clearly, the government cannot cover the whole nation by itself. Public and private sectors must work together to strengthen the nation's healthcare system. Healthcare PPP in India is the responsibility of the Healthcare Subcommittee, which was created by the CII National Committee on Healthcare. Having "the social aims of universal healthcare access and the commercial purpose of maintaining a successful healthcare facility," public-private partnerships (PPPs) in healthcare have been widely acknowledged as having significant value by the government.

PPP In Power Sector

Public-private partnerships have also been quite successful in the electricity industry. The electricity industry has benefited greatly from PPP, which has led to significant advancements on the ground. Even encouraging private sector engagement in the development of transmission infrastructure is a goal of the framework designed by the Ministry of Power.

• Tata Power and Power Grid Corporation of India created a 51:49 joint venture to finish the 1200 km Tata Transmission project.
• Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) have partnered to create Maithon Power Limited, which is responsible for building the 1050 (2 x 525) MW Maithon Right Bank Thermal Power Plant.
• Tata Power's second PPP project in Mundra, the Ultra-Mega Power Projects (UMPP), is also off to a good start.
•  In order to increase domestic coal production and lessen the need for foreign coal, a public-private partnership (PPP) policy framework is being established in collaboration with Coal India Limited.
• Dadri, Tala (Bhutan), Badarpur, and the hydel stations of Koldam, Tehri Dam, Sewa Li, North Karanpura, Kahalgaon, Barh, Unchahar, Dulhasti Tehri Pump Storage.
• The following new power plants have signed a memorandum of understanding with Petronet LNG Ltd. for the supply of 7.3 mmscmd gas: a 350 MW gas-based power plant at Pragati Phase - II, located next to the current Pragati power plant, and a 100 MW gas-based power plant at Pragti Phase (III) in Bawana.
•  CESC, KEC International, Lanco Infrastructure, and Kalpataru Power are just a few of the private firms collaborating with their public sector counterparts onPower creation and distribution.

Government involvement in PPPs

• Dadri, Tala, Badarpur, and the hydel stations of Koldam, Tehri Dam, Sewa Li, North Karanpura, Kahalgaon, Barh, Unchahar, Dulhasti Tehri Pump Storage, and Badarpur in Himachal Pradesh account for a combined 4870 MW of generation capacity.
  
• The government is interested for a variety of additional reasons as well, some of which include
  
• May serve as a policy instrument for progress
• Although infrastructure projects as a whole are vital, not all individual ones are economically feasible.
  

• Having to spend a lot of money and take up a lot of space

• Extremely lengthy lifespans coupled with intergenerational obligations.
  

Suggestions and Recommendation 

Focusing on the many modalities of the PPP model was also an aim of this research article. With PPP, there are unique challenges that must be recognised and overcome. To get the most from them, it is also crucial to examine the progress of PPP initiatives, identify the ones that are succeeding, and figure out why. Since the government plays a pivotal role in PPP projects and must devise strategies to become a more effective partner, and since the primary result of PPPs is the emphasis placed on quality and long-term performance, the public and private sectors in India should collaborate to expand the opportunities for PPPs.

• The government's land acquisition efforts should be prioritised. A regulatory agency similar to SEBI, IRDA, and TRAI should be established by the government. All national and state government PPP initiatives should be closely monitored by this organisation.
• The services of a freelance consultant should be enlisted to complete tasks such as writing up a project's feasibility assessment, outlining the project, determining its cost, and setting any applicable toll rates.
• The development of an optimal and suitable risk allocation system is required. The government takes on the risk of land acquisition, but the availability of land has far-reaching effects on the project as a whole.
• The concession agreement should include a strict penalty provision for any delay in the land purchase process. Prior to submitting a bid, make sure you've taken care of any and all environmental concerns on your own and conducted an impact assessment.
