Malek, M S and Gundaliya, P J (2023) Negative factors in implementing public-private partnership in Indian road projects. International Journal of Construction Management, 23(2), pp. 234-242. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
For the Government projects, Public–Private Partnership (PPP) is an important parameter based on which the project is procured through a private-sector. The objective of this paper was to identify and evaluate the perception of respondents for negative factors affecting Indian road projects undertaken by PPP. Thirteen negative factors were identified through a literature survey and validated with experienced professionals from the public-sector, private-sector and researcher. A questionnaire survey was conducted among major PPP project participants and researchers of Indian PPP road projects to investigate the most important negative factors. Identified factors were grouped into four categories: lack of experience, high cost, project's effectiveness and high risk using factor analysis. The four most important negative factors of Indian PPP Road Projects were identified using the Importance Index Method, which is: excessive restriction on participation, lengthy delays in negotiation, confusion over government objectives and evolution criteria, and fewer employment opportunities. The perception was analyzed with various statistical tools. This paper gives recognition of very important negative factors in the PPP road sector in the Indian context which will help consider road projects under PPP during the development phase itself.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
