Overview
Our Projects & Infrastructure practice advises developers, EPC contractors, lenders, and government and PSU entities on large-scale infrastructure projects across Delhi NCR and North India, including roads and highways, airports, metro and urban transport, power, renewable energy, and smart cities. We structure public-private partnerships and concession arrangements on BOT, BOOT, and hybrid annuity (HAM) models, often based on Model Concession Agreements, and draft and negotiate EPC and engineering contracts, frequently on FIDIC-based forms, along with power purchase agreements and project-finance and security documentation. Our regulatory work covers approvals and environmental and forest clearances under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 and the Forest Conservation Act, 1980, land acquisition and rehabilitation under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act, electricity-sector matters under the Electricity Act, 2003, and government procurement and tendering. We also handle infrastructure disputes through arbitration and litigation, supporting projects from bidding through to commercial operation across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) in highway projects?
The Hybrid Annuity Model is a PPP structure used widely by NHAI for highway projects in which the government funds 40% of the project cost during construction and the balance is paid to the developer as annuities over the operation period, with the developer not bearing toll or traffic risk. It blends features of EPC and BOT models and is designed to attract private investment while reducing developer risk.
What clearances are needed before starting an infrastructure project in India?
Depending on the project, developers typically require environmental clearance under the EIA Notification, 2006 (Environment Protection Act, 1986), forest clearance under the Forest Conservation Act, 1980 for forest land, consents to establish and operate from the State Pollution Control Board, and sector-specific approvals such as those from the Airports Authority of India or electricity regulators. Land acquisition and right-of-way must also be secured.
How are disputes in infrastructure and EPC contracts usually resolved in India?
Most infrastructure and EPC contracts provide for tiered dispute resolution, beginning with engineer's determination or a dispute board, followed by arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, given the technical complexity and need for confidentiality and finality. Judicium Arbitration advises developers and contractors in Delhi NCR on claims, delay and variation disputes, and arbitration strategy.
What is the difference between BOT and HAM models in PPP projects?
Under a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) model the private developer finances, builds, and operates the asset, recovering its investment through user charges or annuities and bearing demand or toll risk, before transferring it to the authority. Under HAM, the government shares the capital cost and the developer is paid fixed annuities without toll risk, making HAM less risky for developers but requiring greater government outlay.
