Urban Infrastructure and Public Finance

We help shape public policy and enable infrastructure development.

The Urban Infrastructure and Public Finance (UIPF) practice is at the forefront of enabling sustainable, resilient, and financially empowered cities. As urbanization accelerates, cities and urban local bodies (ULBs) face mounting challenges from infrastructure deficits to financial sustainability. Our practice brings together deep domain expertise, rich data analytics, and hands-on experience to help cities navigate through these challenges and unlock their potential by providing a wide-ranging solutions in India and more than 30 emerging economies across South and South-East Asia, and Africa.

We are a leading advisor to regulators and governments, bi-lateral and multilateral agencies, investors, utilities and private sector firms. With extensive experience supporting flagship national programs in India such as Smart Cities Mission, JNNURM, AMRUT, Swachh Bharat Mission, and PMAY, we have successfully partnered with central and state governments, and ULBs to design and implement transformative urban projects.

We offer end-to-end advisory solutions, covering every aspect of the urban development lifecycle from policy formulation to project structuring, financing strategies, and institutional capacity building. Our strength lies in integrating analytical, financial, and governance insights to craft solutions that are both practical and future-ready. Our expertise in revenue enhancement strategies, and sustainable financing models empowers cities to build financially resilient ecosystems that can support long-term development goals.

At UIPF, we believe that strong cities are the foundation of strong economies. Through our data-driven insights, innovative thinking, and implementation support, we help cities become not only engines of growth but also centres of sustainability and quality of life for all.
