Each infrastructure sector will have a customised regulatory regime which is shaped by the sectoral needs. This 2009 report, second in the series, is an effort to educate the public and the policy community about the effect of these various facets of public policy on competition and regulation. It focuses on the evaluation of quality of regulation in five sectors: power, ports, civil aviation, agricultural markets and higher education. India. The first report, published in 2007, lay down the rationale for a holistic competition policy and law regime in India.
