The Programme

TERI University's MBA (Infrastructure) Programme aims to achieve a critical mass of expertise and academic excellence that would provide a basis for influencing public policy and regulatory practice and for developing effective management practices in infrastructure industries through research and teaching.

Economical and reliable supply of basic infrastructure services such as electricity, water, telecommunications, transportation and oil and gas, plays a critical role in supporting economic growth and development. Many of these infrastructure services have traditionally been supplied by monopolies whose prices, investment programs, labour policies; competition rules and service quality are subject to government control. Several countries are in the process of public sector restructuring and regulatory reforms in infrastructure sectors. The two principal institutions of social control in the changing economy are competition and direct regulation. The objective of public policy is to determine a judicious mix of the two. Public utility regulation is at the core of the MBA programme. The programme is aimed at building capacity in regulation and preparing the students to serve as managers of public utilities, consultants and government regulators.

The MBA (Infrastructure) programme encompasses a comprehensive, structured two-year curriculum designed specifically to provide specialised training in the concepts and skills involved in the regulatory process and competition policy, as well as enabling the scholars understand regulation from technical, economic, social, legal and political perspectives.
