Abstract: Public–private partnership (PPP) was introduced as a tool to overcome the financial resource scarcity of developing nation-states to deliver infrastructure. While researchers have extensively focused on the procedural adoption of PPP in developing nations, the distributional side of PPP has received very little attention. This article investigates whether the central government has been successful in directing PPP towards the poor regions in India. This study shows that PPP in India contributes towards the process of uneven development.
