Abstract: The government uses important success factors (ISF) to choose PPP projects. This study examines India's public-private partnership (PPP) road projects' institutional and systemic factors (ISFs). A thorough literature study found 41 ISFs in the early phase. A group of public-private-academic specialists reviewed and confirmed these ISFs. In this paper, a study on important success factors (ISFs) of Indian road PPP projects is carried out. The study regulated a crucial participant opinion survey. The importance index method revealed twenty-six critical success criteria. Six stages were analysed - pre-qualification, bidding, concession, building, performance, and handover. Statistics were used to analyse percipience. This research investigates the adoption of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the Indian road sector. This report will inform PPP road project decisions. The research improves comprehension of public-private partnership (PPP) road projects.

Keywords: important success factors; ISFs; importance index; public-private partnership; PPP; roads.
