Abstract:

This paper describes the findings from twenty interviews conducted in Gujarat and thirty-five interviews conducted in Hong Kong and Australia with experts involved with Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The data of these twenty five interviews of Hong Kong and Australia are collected from Esther Cheung (2009) with her prior permission. The findings from these interviews were analysed according to the perspectives of the public sector, private sector and researchers. Within each of these categories, the findings from Gujarat, Hong Kong and Australian interviewees were further compared. Many studies have been done on PPP but there is very less information on the value for money, positive and negative factors for PPP projects undertaken in road projects in Gujarat. The present chapter makes an attempt to identify and analyse these factors for PPP road projects in Gujarat. The paper specifically considers weather Public Private Partnership (PPP) should be used to procure highway projects in Gujarat by analysing the negative factors for adopting PPP. A questionnaire was conducted with industrial practitioners in Gujarat. The respondents were requested to rank the importance of thirteen negative factors for adopting PPP in highway sector.
