CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE,
URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND STRATEGIC PROJECTS
Sector Challenges
Today’s infrastructure, urban transit, and strategic project developers face the following:
- Complex land acquisition, land aggregation, title clearance, and Rights of Way RoW litigation under the LARR framework.
- Concession agreement imbalances, delay claims, and site handover bottlenecks in public-private partnerships (PPPs).
- Statutory environmental, forest, and coastal zone regulatory clearances.
- Scope variations, price escalations, and performance guarantee invocations in EPC execution.
- Evolving RERA compliance and urban mass transit development mandates.
