This document discusses the Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model of public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects in India. It provides details on the BOOT process and hierarchy, including examples of the Bengaluru International Airport and Dhamra Port projects. The BOOT model involves a private entity designing, building, funding, owning and operating an infrastructure project for a defined period before transferring ownership. While this provides various capital sources and risk-free development for the government, it also presents challenges around credibility, precision and commitment feasibility for the private entity.
