Abstract: Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are increasingly coming under pressure of service delivery in India, but with the poor state of their finances, alternative models that are outside the traditional budgets assume importance. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are one such important off-budget model for ensuring service delivery and leveraging private finance wherever possible. PPPs have assumed importance in the delivery of public infrastructure services across the world; it was only recently that they began to be utilized in the delivery of urban infrastructure. This paper outlines, in general, the potential and importance of PPPs in public service delivery, presents the major PPP options, the PPP process and principles which urban local governments could adopt, and discusses their prospects in the light of recent experiences.
