Chapter 13 in Consolidating and Developing a Body of Knowledge for Public-Private Partnership Project Management, 2026, pp 265-293 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Public–private partnership (PPP) infrastructure projects are a crucial component of India’s economic development. These projects are typically complex, involving various stakeholders, and can encounter disputes that can threaten their successful completion. To mitigate the impact of disputes on PPP infrastructure projects, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods have been increasingly utilized in India. This article provides an overview of ADR methods commonly used in PPP infrastructure projects with rich empirical cases within the context of Indian PPPs. This chapter also exposes the challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic as related to disputes and claims. The general principles can help both practitioners and early career researchers continue their pursuit of knowledge, particularly in the domains of legal affairs concerning PPPs.
