Chapter Chapter 8 in Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure, 2017, pp 191-216 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on the types of regulatory systems like regulation by contract and autonomous regulatory institutions. While autonomous regulation is essential for private participation, developing countries struggle to establish a sustainable regulatory regime balancing the financial viability of the project with reasonable user fees. We also look at infrastructure regulatory institutions in India like Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), Central and State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (CERC and SERCs), Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP), and Airport Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA). Regulatory reforms in terms of objectives, autonomy, functions, and accountability are also discussed.
