Call For Papers: By IJPIEL [Submit By 23rd September, 2024]

About the Journal:

The Indian Journal of Projects, Infrastructure, and Energy Law (IJPIEL) is a student-run bi-annual law journal, blog, and podcast. The journal focuses upon the niche area of Projects, Infrastructure, and Energy (PIE) laws. In the post-pandemic scenario, we believe that the focus of global markets will be, among other goals, to create Sustainable & Resilient Infrastructure (SDG 9) and Alternative Sources of Energy (SDG 7). This is particularly important for India, which is slated to be one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. However, the same is not possible without achieving SDG 17 – Peace & Strong Institutions of Justice.

We at IJPIEL wish to support and propel this developing area of study and practice through discourse and conversation. IJPIEL aims to bring to the fore clarity for crucial terms such as Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and Procurement (and the different steps and documents involved in the same), which require more significant inquiry for both students and young professionals.

Themes:

The suggested Themes and Topics for Submission for Volume 4, Issue 1 of the Journal are as follows:

  1. Considering Human Rights Risks in India’s transition from Coal.
  2. Impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on India.
  3. Legal Issues in Energy Data Management.
  4. Analysing the tightening of Project Finance Interventions in Clean Energy.
  5. Review of Space Policy- Analysing the role of IN-SPACE in regulating space activities.
  6. Legal risks of Financing Renewable Energy Projects.

List of suggested Case Laws for Case Comments:

  1. Mining Operators Case.
  2. Adani Coal Imports Case.
  3. MMTC Coal Imports Case.

Please note that the themes are purely suggestive and are not in order of preference. The Editorial Team would be happy to entertain submissions (preferably contemporary) related to any topic under the broad theme of Projects, Infrastructure and Energy Laws.
