Abstract
Infrastructure development is a critical driver of economic growth, requiring efficient financing mechanisms for large‐scale projects. In India, traditional models like Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction have faced financial distress and delays. The Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), introduced in 2016 as a Public–Private Partnership framework, seeks to balance risk‐sharing between the government and private sector. This study critically evaluates HAM's financial and operational effectiveness in Gujarat's highway sector, comparing it primarily to BOT. Using content analysis, thematic coding, and comparative analysis, we examine HAM's impact on project timelines, risk allocation, and private sector participation. Results show HAM improves project completion rates and mitigates revenue risks but faces challenges, such as land acquisition delays, inflationary pressures, and declining private interest. Policy recommendations include clearer risk‐sharing frameworks, inflation‐adjusted annuities, and regulatory reforms. 基础设施建设是经济增长的关键驱动力, 大型项目需要高效的融资机制。在印度, 诸如建设‐运营‐移交(BOT)和工程、采购和施工(EPC)等传统模式面临财务困境和工期延误。混合年金模式(HAM)于2016年作为公私合作(PPP)框架推出, 旨在平衡政府和私营部门之间的风险分担。本研究批判性地评估了HAM在古吉拉特邦公路领域的财务和运营效率, 并将其主要与BOT模式进行比较。我们采用内容分析、主题编码和比较分析方法, 考察了HAM对项目进度、风险分配和私营部门参与的影响。结果表明, HAM提高了项目完工率并降低了收入风险, 但也面临着土地征用延误、通胀压力和私人利益下降等挑战。政策建议包括更清晰的风险分担框架、通胀调整年金以及监管改革。 El desarrollo de infraestructura es un motor crucial del crecimiento económico, que requiere mecanismos de financiación eficientes para proyectos a gran escala. En India, los modelos tradicionales como Construcción‐Operación‐Transferencia (BOT) e Ingeniería, Adquisiciones y Construcción (EPC) han experimentado dificultades financieras y retrasos. El Modelo de Renta Híbrida (MAH), introducido en 2016 como marco de Asociación Público‐Privada (APP), busca equilibrar la distribución de riesgos entre el gobierno y el sector privado. Este estudio evalúa críticamente la eficacia financiera y operativa del MAH en el sector vial de Gujarat, comparándolo principalmente con el MAH. Mediante análisis de contenido, codificación temática y análisis comparativo, examinamos el impacto del MAH en los plazos de los proyectos, la asignación de riesgos y la participación del sector privado. Los resultados muestran que el MAH mejora las tasas de finalización de los proyectos y mitiga los riesgos de ingresos, pero enfrenta desafíos como retrasos en la adquisición de terrenos, presiones inflacionarias y la disminución del interés privado. Las recomendaciones de políticas incluyen marcos más claros de distribución de riesgos, rentas vitalicias ajustadas a la inflación y reformas regulatorias.
