The economy of any
country, irrespective
of its stage of
development, requires
competent and
effective regulatoryinstitutions functioning
towards the goals of
efficiency and equity.
This proposed
programme would
provide India and
neighbouring
countries a major
resource of trained
professionals toenable the practice
of independent
regulatory functions in
a changing world.

conomical and reliable supplies of a variety of basic
infrastructure services such as electricity, water,
telecommunications and various transportation services play a
critical role in supporting economic growth and development.
Many of these infrastructure services have generally been
viewed as natural monopolies and supply responsibilities have
often been given to state-owned or privately owned
monopolies whose prices, investment programmes, labourpolicies, rules governing entry of competing suppliers and
service quality are subject to government control. In an effort
to respond to the poor performance record of these monopoly
infrastructure sectors, the changing economic stakes and the
political power of interest groups involved in these sectors, as
well as opportunities for competition to replace monopoly
created by technological change, many countries have
implemented or are contemplating major industry restructuring
and regulatory reform programmes for these sectors. However,
in most of the regulated monopoly infrastructure sectors
subject to these reforms, certain important segments continue
to be natural and/or legal monopolies that require continuing
regulation. Hence the two principal institutions of social control
in the changing economy are competition and direct regulation.
Rarely do we rely on either of them exclusively. The objective of
policy is to determine the best possible mixture of the two. This
central issue of public utility regulation is at the core of theMBA programme. The aim of this programme is to achieve a
critical mass of expertise and academic excellence that would
provide a basis for influencing public policy and regulatory
practice and for development of effective management practices
in regulated industries by way of research and teaching.

Stream II Graduates with a minimum of two years experience in any of the
following sectors namely government, regulatory bodies, industry,
research/academic institutions, donor/consultant organizations.
Stream 1 students will do three semesters of course work and one

EligibilityEligibilityEligibilityEligibilityEligibility
ProProProProProgrammegrammegrammegrammegrammeThe two-year MBA (Infrastructure) is being offered to students in two optional
streams.
Stream I A regular programme for graduate students
Stream II A programme for practising professionals, with an orientation towards
research dissertation rather than towards course credits. The course
allows professionals the flexibility to take up a research-based
curriculum. It is mandatory for students to undertake course work in the
first year. In the second year, students will have to undertake a thesis and
defend it at the end of the year. They need not devote time on campus in
the second year.
Graduation requirements
As the MBA (Infrastructure) programme has a large component of research, each
student will have to earn a minimum of 88 credits over the two-year period with a
minimum CGPA (cumulative grade point average) of 7.
The MBA curriculum is the result of constant innovation and continuous review by the
faculty with the help of practitioners in industry, alumni, and students and academicians in
other institutes. The course comprises two components: the core programme and an
elective programme.
The core programme is focused on rigorous grounding in the rudiments of every
discipline of regulation and the development of a common foundation of regulatory
knowledge and management theory.

The MBA programme in Infrastructure offered by the T E R I University
combines the academic rigour of the core faculty and with the real-life
work experience of the adjunct faculty. This combination provides a source
for not only identification of the industry best practices but also ways to
extend the frontiers of performance, management, and governance of
infrastructure industries. Management of regulatory affairs in infrastructure
industries, being a multidisciplinary field, requires an understanding of
economics, law, finance and accounts, technology, and the socio-political
alignment of the society. The T E R I University derives strength from a
variety of consultancy and capacity building projects executed in this field
by the Regulatory Studies and Governance division of T E R I.
The RSG (Regulatory Studies and Governance) Division of TER I was
established in January 1999, in response to the transformations taking place
in the infrastructure sectors across the country. These transformations
created the need to understand the key regulatory issues and their
implications and to devise appropriate strategies and contribute to the
decision-making process.
This programme will enhance the knowledge and skills of students through a
forceful combination of lectures, tutorials, field visits, and, most importantly, case
studies (from developed and developing nations), which will be drawn from
various sectors under study. The case studies are projected to offer students
practical insights into the modes of regulation. Guest lectures by stalwarts of
Indian industry and government would be another highlight of the course, which
will offer the students an opportunity to interact with the personnel responsiblefor successful reforms in both these important areas.
Students will be provided the opportunity to participate in activities like
open-house processes and public hearings conducted by regulators. Project
work, which is a prerequisite to successful completion of the course, would help
students acquire hands-on knowledge, and skills that would help them in a
better understanding of regulatory processes.

Division has been a part of numerous state as well as central-level policy-making, by providing its expert comments.
The professionals of the Division provide inputs on various consultation
papers and policy documents of governments (state and central) and
regulatory bodies across the country and assist them in the appraisal,
evaluation, formation and adoption of alternative policy options. The
Division has been at the forefront in providing expertise and professional
support to clients from a range of infrastructure sectors, including the
regulatory and the regulated entities, in the electricity, oil and gas, coal,transportation, telecommunications and water industries.
