Andhra Pradesh Infrastructure Development Enabling Act, 2001

The Andhra Pradesh Infrastructure Development Enabling Act, 2001 provides a comprehensive statutory framework to accelerate the development of physical and social infrastructure across Andhra Pradesh by facilitating Private Sector Participation through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP). It establishes the statutory Infrastructure Authority to conceptualize projects, approve concession agreements, regulate user levies, and manage infrastructure funds. The legislation outlines transparent developer selection methods—including competitive bidding, direct negotiations, and the Swiss Challenge approach for unsolicited proposals—while defining generic risk allocation, state support, and lender protections. It also creates a dedicated Conciliation Board to ensure fast-track, amicable dispute resolution for concession contracts.
