EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The main purpose of the project is to understand the whole concept of Project financing,
and its methods and needs of project financing in the form of different committee
recommendation and methods.
To know the needs and methods of project financing for term loan and working capital
loan in small- scale industry as well as large-scale industry and various guidelines issued
by the RBI for banking sector for Project finance.
The project has been divided into two parts. In initial chapters of the project was given to
general concept and fundamental principles for project financing, method of project
financing, requirement of project financing in various types of industries, the finance
requirement to the borrowers and the various approaches adopted by the borrowers for
selecting the mode of financing. The later chapter covers various methods of project
financing and its sub methods i.e. term loan and Working capital limit in project
financing. Funding the requirement of the term loan and working capital by the following
procedures of Credit Monitoring Assessment (CMA) for funding of short-term loan and
long-term loan. And finally various committees’ recommendation and current scenario of
the MPBF were elaborated in detail.
And the project includes the case study on Steel industry for which the procedure is
actually applied to PQR steel Alloys Pvt. Ltd. and the details of projection is highlighted.

Project financing has become one of the core activities of banks in the recent years. With
the growth in the economy and the revival in the industrial sector coupled with the
increasing role of private players in the field of infrastructure, more and more banks are
entering into the project finance area. This examination is specially designed, in
collaboration with the Institute for Financial Management and Research (IFMR),
Chennai, to familiarize candidates with basic issues arising in financing projects, as well
as risk analysis and risk mitigation methodologies with a specific emphasis on structured
financing.
The financing of long-term infrastructure and industrial projects based upon a complex
financial structure where project debt and equity are scope of the project financing.
The requirement of the project financing is depending upon the nature of the business.
The business may be small are large, but the requirement depend on the operation of the
business it means the cycle of the business. If the operating cycle is longer the
requirement of finance would be longer of the business.
According to the requirement financing agencies, companies and banks provided finance
to the borrowers in the form of fund based and non-fund based.
Managing cash inflow and out flows efficiently for the optimum use of capital and to
release the finance blocked in inventory and receivables constitutes the single largest
problem have in business. As such the solution on this problem is that to borrowing the
finance from Banks, financial institute etc. has increased tremendously in all aspects.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Limited recourse lending was used to finance maritime voyages in ancient Greece and
Rome. Its use in infrastructure projects dates to the development of the Panama Canal,
and was widespread in the US oil and gas industry during the early 20th century.
However, project finance for high-risk infrastructure schemes originated with the
development of the North Sea oil fields in the 1970s and 1980s. For such investments,
newly created Special Purpose Corporations (SPCs) were created for each project, with
multiple owners and complex schemes distributing insurance, loans, management, and
project operations. Such projects were previously accomplished through utility or
government bond issuances, or other traditional corporate finance structures.
Project financing in the developing world peaked around the time of the Asian financial
crisis, but the subsequent downturn in industrializing countries was offset by growth in
the OECD countries, causing worldwide project financing to peak around 2000. The need
for project financing remains high throughout the world as more countries require
increasing supplies of public utilities and infrastructure. In recent years, project finance
schemes have become increasingly common in the Middle East, some incorporating
Islamic finance.
The new project finance structures emerged primarily in response to the opportunity
presented by long term power purchase contracts available from utilities and government
entities. These long term revenue streams were required by rules implementing PURPA,
the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978. Originally envisioned as an energy
initiative designed to encourage domestic renewable resources and conservation, the Act
and the industry it created lead to further deregulation of electric generation and,
significantly, international privatization following amendments to the Public Utilities
Holding Company Act in 1994. The structure has evolved and forms the basis for energy
and other projects throughout the world.

Definition.
"Project finance" is a method for obtaining commercial debt financing for the
construction of a facility. Lenders look at the credit-worthiness of the facility to ensure
debt repayment rather than at the assets of the developer/sponsor. Farm biogas projects
have historically experienced difficulty securing project financing because of their
relatively small size and the perceived risks associated with the technology. However,
project financing may be available to large projects in the future. In most project finance
cases, lenders will provide project debt for up to about 80% of the facility's installed cost
and accept a debt repayment schedule over 8 to 15 years. Project finance transactions are
costly and often an onerous process of satisfying lenders' criteria.
“Project finance involves the creation of a legally independent project company financed
with non-recourse debt (and equity from one or more sponsoring firms) for the purpose of
financing a single purpose capital asset, usually with a limited life.”
Project Finance involves creating a legally independent project company to invest in the
project; the assets and liabilities of the project company do not appear on the sponsors’
balance sheet. As a result, the project company does not have access to internally
generated cash flows of the sponsoring firm. Similarly, the sponsoring firm does not have
access to the cash flows of the project company. In contrast, in Corporate Finance, the
same investment is financed as part of the company’s existing balance sheet.
14
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
The purpose for Project Finance is to invest in a single purpose capital asset, usually a
long-term illiquid asset. In contrast to a company, which may be investing in many
projects simultaneously, a project-financed company invests only in the particular project
for which it is created. The project company is dissolved once the project gets completed.
In Project Finance, the investment is financed with non-recourse debt. Since the Project
Company is a standalone, legally independent company, the debt is structured without
recourse to the sponsors. As a result, all the interest and loan repayments come from the
cash flows generated from the project. This is in contrast to Corporate Finance where the
lenders can rely on the cash flows and assets of the sponsor company apart from those of
the project itself.
Project companies have very high leverage ratios compared to public companies. Esty
(2003b) points out that the average project company has a leverage ratio of 70%
compared to 33.1% for similar sized firms listed in the Composted database. The majority
of project debt comes from bank loans. Esty (2005) shows that bank loans comprise
around 80% of project debt.
It is a method of financing very large capital intensive projects, with long gestation
period, where the lenders rely on the assets created for the project as security and the cash
flow generated by the project as source of funds for repaying their dues.
15
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
1. Non-recourse. The typical project financing involves a loan to enable the sponsor to
construct a project where the loan is completely "non-recourse" to the sponsor, i.e.,
the sponsor has no obligation to make payments on the project loan if revenues
generated by the project are insufficient to cover the principal and interest payments
on the loan. In order to minimize the risks associated with a non-recourse loan, a
lender typically will require indirect credit supports in the form of guarantees,
warranties and other covenants from the sponsor, its affiliates and other third parties
involved with the project.
2. Maximize Leverage. In a project financing, the sponsor typically seeks to finance the
costs of development and construction of the project on a highly leveraged basis.
Frequently, such costs are financed using 80 to 100 percent debt. High leverage in a
non-recourse project financing permits a sponsor to put less in funds at risk, permits a
sponsor to finance the project without diluting its equity investment in the project
and, in certain circumstances, also may permit reductions in the cost of capital by
substituting lower-cost, tax-deductible interest for higher-cost, taxable returns on
equity.
16
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
DISADVANTAGES.
It may take a much longer period of time to structure, negotiate and document a project
financing than a traditional financing, and the legal fees and related costs associated with
a project financing can be very high. Because the risks assumed by lenders may be
greater in a non-recourse project financing than in a more traditional financing, the cost
of capital may be greater than with a traditional financing.

3. Construction Contractor. The construction contractor enters into a contract with the
project company for the design, engineering and construction of the project.
4. Operator. The project operator enters into a long-term agreement with the project
company for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the project.
6. Product Off taker. The product off taker(s) enters into a long-term agreement with
the project company for the purchase of all of the energy, goods or other product
produced at the project.

A. Generally. As one of the first steps in a project financing the sponsor or a technical
consultant hired by the sponsor will prepare a feasibility study showing the financial
viability of the project. Frequently, a prospective lender will hire its own independent
consultants to prepare an independent feasibility study before the lender will commit
to lend funds for the project.
B. Contents. The feasibility study should analyze every technical, financial and other
aspect of the project, including the time-frame for completion of the various phases of
the project development, and should clearly set forth all of the financial and other
assumptions upon which the conclusions of the study are based, Among the more
important items contained in a feasibility study are:
Description of project.
Description of sponsor(s).
Sponsors' Agreements.
Project site.
Governmental arrangements.
Source of funds.
Feedstock Agreements.
Construction Contract.

A. Legal Firm. Sponsors of projects adopt many different legal firms for the ownership
of the project. The specific form adopted for any particular project will depend upon
many factors, including:
The need to allocate tax benefits in a specific manner among the project company
investors.
The three basic firms for ownership of a project are:

Project Financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project financing,
how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and raise the
funds. In addition, one must understand the cogent analyses of why some project
financing plans have succeeded while others have failed. A knowledge-base is required
regarding the design of contractual arrangements to support project financing; issues for
the host government legislative provisions, public/private infrastructure partnerships,
public/private financing structures; credit requirements of lenders, and how to determine
the project's borrowing capacity; how to prepare cash flow projections and use them to
measure expected rates of return; tax and accounting considerations; and analytical
techniques to validate the project's feasibility
Project finance is finance for a particular project, such as a mine, toll road, railway,
pipeline, power station, ship, hospital or prison, which is repaid from the cash-flow of
that project. Project finance is different from traditional forms of finance because the
financier principally looks to the assets and revenue of the project in order to secure and
service the loan. In contrast to an ordinary borrowing situation, in a project financing the
financier usually has little or no recourse to the non-project assets of the borrower or the
28
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
sponsors of the project. In this situation, the credit risk associated with the borrower is not
as important as in an ordinary loan transaction; what is most important is the
identification, analysis, allocation and management of every risk associated with the
project.
The purpose of this paper is to explain, in a brief and general way, the manner in which
financiers in a project finance transaction approach risks. Such risk minimization lies at
the heart of project finance.
In a no recourse or limited recourse project financing, the risks for a financier are great.
Since the loan can only be repaid when the project is operational, if a major part of the
project fails, the financiers are likely to lose a substantial amount of money. The assets
that remain are usually highly specialized and possibly in a remote location. If saleable,
they may have little value outside the project. Therefore, it is not surprising that
financiers, and their advisers, go to substantial efforts to ensure that the risks associated
with the project are reduced or eliminated as far as possible. It is also not surprising that
because of the risks involved, the cost of such finance is generally higher and it is more
time consuming for such finance to be provided.
The minimization of such risks involves a three-step process. The first step requires the
identification and analysis of all the risks that may bear upon the project. The second step
is the allocation of those risks among the parties. The last step involves the creation of
mechanisms to manage the risks.
If a risk to the financiers cannot be minimized, the financiers will need to build it into the
interest rate margin for the loan.
29
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
STEP 2
Risk allocation
Once the risks are identified and analyzed, they are allocated by the parties through
negotiation of the contractual framework. Ideally a risk should be allocated to the party
who is the most appropriate to bear it (i.e. who is in the best position to manage, control
and insure against it) and who has the financial capacity to bear it. It has been observed
that financiers attempt to allocate uncontrollable risks widely and to ensure that each
party has an interest in fixing such risks. Generally, commercial risks are sought to be
allocated to the private sector and political risks to the state sector.
STEP 3
Risk management
Risks must be also managed in order to minimize the possibility of the risk event
occurring and to minimize its consequences if it does occur. Financiers need to ensure
that the greater the risks that they bear, the more informed they are and the greater their
control over the project. Since they take security over the entire project and must be
prepared to step in and take it over if the borrower defaults. This requires the financiers to
be involved in and monitor the project closely. Imposing reporting obligations on the
borrower and controls over project accounts facilitates such risk management. Such
measures may lead to tension between the flexibility desired by borrower and risk
management mechanisms required by the financier.
There are many risks in finance and these risks are help to overcome on finance, these
risk types is as following:-
Of course, every project is different and it is not possible to compile an exhaustive list of
risks or to rank them in order of priority. What is a major risk for one project may be
quite minor for another. In a vacuum, one can just discuss the risks that are common to
most projects and possible avenues for minimizing them. However, it is helpful to
categories the risks according to the phases of the project within which they may arise:
(1) the design and construction phase; (2) the operation phase; or (3) either phase. It is
useful to divide the project in this way when looking at risks because the nature and the
allocation of risks usually change between the construction phase and the operation
phase.
30
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Commonly employed mechanisms for minimizing completion risk before lending takes
place include: (a) obtaining completion guarantees requiring the sponsors to pay all debts
and liquidated damages if completion does not occur by the required date; (b) ensuring
that sponsors have a significant financial interest in the success of the project so that they
remain committed to it by insisting that sponsors inject equity into the project; (c)
requiring the project to be developed under fixed-price, fixed-time turnkey contracts by
reputable and financially sound contractors whose performance is secured by
performance bonds or guaranteed by third parties; and (d) obtaining independent experts'
reports on the design and construction of the project. Completion risk is managed during
the loan period by methods such as making pre-completion phase drawdown of further
funds conditional on certificates being issued by independent experts to confirm that the
construction is progressing as planned.
Such resource risks are usually minimized by: (a) experts' reports as to the existence of
the inputs (e.g. detailed reservoir and engineering reports which classify and quantify the
reserves for a mining project) or estimates of public users of the project based on surveys
and other empirical evidence (e.g. the number of passengers who will use a railway); (b)
requiring long term supply contracts for inputs to be entered into as protection against
shortages or price fluctuations (e.g. fuel supply agreements for a power station); (c)
obtaining guarantees that there will be a minimum level of inputs (e.g. from a government
that a certain number of vehicles will use a toll road); and (d) "take or pay" off-take
contacts which require the purchaser to make minimum payments even if the product
cannot be delivered.
Operating risk
These are general risks that may affect the cash flow of the project by increasing the
operating costs or affecting the project's capacity to continue to generate the quantity and
31
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
quality of the planned output over the life of the project. Operating risks include, for
example, the level of experience and resources of the operator, inefficiencies in
operations or shortages in the supply of skilled labour. The usual way for minimizing
operating risks before lending takes place is to require the project to be operated by a
reputable and financially sound operator whose performance is secured by performance
bonds. Operating risks are managed during the loan period by requiring the provision of
detailed reports on the operations of the project and by controlling cash-flows by
requiring the proceeds of the sale of product to be paid into a tightly regulated proceeds
account to ensure that funds are used for approved operating costs only.
2. Debts Financing
3. Equity Financing
These three methods are very important in project financing, this explanation is as
following:-
There are few outright grant programs remaining for anaerobic digestion system funding.
It may be possible to receive a portion of the project funding from public agency sources.
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), administered by USDA’s Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), promotes agricultural production and
environmental quality as compatible goals. EQIP was reauthorized and the funding
amount significantly expanded under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of
2002, which requires that 60 3percent of EQIP funds be spent on animal operations.
Anaerobic digesters may qualify for cost share funding under NRCS programs. The
owner should check with the local or state NRCS offices to see if a digester project may
qualify.
Another potential source of funding is a state energy program. At the time of publication,
the status of renewable energy low-interest loan or grant programs is in flux. AgSTAR
has identified approximately 30 states that offer financial assistance in the form of low-
interest loans, property tax exemptions, and grants. To learn more about these state
32
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
programs and other federal funding opportunities, review the Ag STAR publication,
Funding On-Farm Biogas Recovery Systems, EPA-430-F-04-002, and December 2003.
Also Appendix B provides a list of NRCS and Department of Energy contacts that should
be able to help the owner contact the correct person in his state.
The advantage to receiving funding is the reduced project cost. The disadvantages are the
time and effort it takes to apply for and receive funding monies.
2 Debt Financing
Most agricultural biogas projects built in the last 15 years used debt financing, where the
owner borrowed from a bank or agricultural lender. The biggest advantage of debt
financing is the ability to use other people’s money without giving up ownership control.
The biggest disadvantage is the difficulty in obtaining funding for the project.
Debt financing usually provides the option of either a fixed rate loan or a floating rate
loan. Floating rate loans are usually tied to an accepted interest rate index like U.S.
treasury bills.
Lender’s Requirements
In deciding whether or not to loan money, lenders examine the expected financial
performance of a project and other underlying factors of project success. These factors
include contracts, project participants, equity stake, permits, technology, and sometimes,
market factors. A good borrower should have most, if not all, of the following:
— Equity commitment
— Environmental permits
However, most lenders look at the assets of an owner or developer, rather than the cash
flow of a digester project. If a farm has good credit, adequate assets, and the ability to
repay borrowed money, lenders will generally provide debt financing for up to 80 percent
of a facility’s installed cost.
Lenders generally expect the owner to put up an equity commitment of about 20 installed
using his/her own money and agree to an 8 to 15 year repayment schedule. An equity
commitment demonstrates the owner’s financial stake in success, as well as implying that
33
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
owner will provide additional funding if problems arise. The expected debt-equity ratio is
usually a function of project risk.
In this method, there are two important sub methods, which are following:
DEBT FINANCING
Current assets are assets, which are expected to be realized in cash or sold or consumed
over the operating cycle of the business usually not exceeding one year.
34
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Items that are expected to be paid over one year from the date of balance sheet are
classified as current liabilities. The term is use to designate obligations whose liquidation
is expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of other current liabilities.
Therefore, the current assets and current liabilities, for the purpose of determining the
working capital gap, are classified under GWC and NWC as explained as follows:
Gross working capital: - It refers to sum of all current assets. It is primarily quantitative in
nature, which represents the commitment of funds to different items of current assets and
their relationship to turnover.
Net working capital: - Technically, it is the difference between current assets and current
liabilities. NWC concept is qualitative in nature current credit soundness is indicated by
positive NWC position and is of major concern to investor and bankers.
FINANCING APPROACHES
Three financing approaches are discussed below. They vary with reference to proportion
of short-term vs. long-term funds in the financing mix. These have implications on
profitability and risk of the firm.
HEDGING APPROACH
35
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Hedging Approach: - Under this approach, an asset would be offset with a financing
instrument of the same approximate maturity, i.e. short-term or seasonal variations in
current assets would be financed with short-term debt. On the other hand, hard-core
component of current assets would be financed with long-term funds.
Fig. a
Troughs
Troughs
Short term
Funds
We see that the firm’s fixed assets and permanent current assets are financed with long-
term funds and temporary current assets with short-term funds. The justification for the
matching of maturities is that, since the purpose of financing is to pay for assets, the
financing could be relinquished when the assets is expected to be relinquished. Short-
term financing for long-term need is dangerous. A profitable firm may not be in a position
to meet its cash obligations if funds borrowed on short-term basis have become tied-up in
permanent assets (permanent current assets and fixed assets)
A hedging approach to financing suggests that apart from current installments on long-
term debt, a firm would show no current borrowings at the seasonal troughs in Fig. an
above, short-term borrowings would be paid off with surplus cash. As the firm’s variable
current assets would go up it would borrow on a short-term basis, again paying the
borrowing off as surplus cash is generated. Permanent funds requirements would be
financed with long-term debt and equity (either external or internal). In a growth
situation, the level of permanent financing would go up in keeping with the increases in
permanent funds requirements. Interestingly, RBI guidelines on bank credit also
36
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
recommend increasing the borrower’s contribution from long-term funds to the extent to
full core current assets.
CONSERVATIVE APPROACH

AGGRESSIVE APPROACH

A firm here uses more short term financing than warranted under hedging approach. A
part of the permanent current assets are financed by short-term funds. Some extremely
aggressive companies may even finance a part of their fixed assets with short term
financing.

37
How the firm should decide which of these approaches it should follow?
The decision criteria for the use of long term vs. short-term funds for financing current
assets are: -
Cost: - The cost of funds is related to the term structure of interest rates and the behavior
of yield curve. The yield curve is generally upward slopping, showing that interest rates
increase with time. Longer dated maturities have a greater interest than short dated
maturities. Hence, it can be seen that short-term loans cost less than long term funds.
Flexibility: - Short-term funds are more flexible because it is relatively easy to refund
them when the need for fund diminishes. Hence, if the firm expects its needs for funds to
diminish in the near feature, it may choose short-term debt for flexibility it provides.
38
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Risk: - Use of short-term debt subjects a firm to more risk than long-term debt. This risk
effect occurs for two reasons:
In long term funds the interest rates are fairly stable over time, but in short term
borrowings the interest rate may fluctuate widely, often going high.
If it borrower heavily on short-term basis it may find itself unable to repay this debt or it
may be in a shaky financial position that the lender will not extend the loan. Thus, a big
uncertainty is created.
Risk return trade off: - Thus the short-term funds are less expensive but involve greater
risk than long term financing. The choice between long term and short term financing
involves a tradeoff between risk and return illustration below: -
Fig.b
Yield Curve
Increase
Rate %
39
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Cash credit: - The banker will give this facility to the customers by giving certain amount
of credit facility on continuous basis. The borrower will not be allowed to exceed the
limits sanctioned by the bank.
Bank Overdraft: - It is a short term borrowing facility made available to the companies in
case of urgent need of funds the banks will impose limits on the amount they can lend.
When the borrowed funds are no longer required they can quickly and easily be repaid.
Banks issue overdraft with a right to call them in short-term notice.
Bill Discounting: - The company, which sells goods on credit will normally draw a bill on
buyer, who will accept and send it to the seller of goods. The seller in turn discounts the
bill with his banker. The banker will generally earmark the discounting bill limits.
Bill Acceptance: - To obtain finance under this type of arrangement companies draws a
bill of exchange. The bank accepts the bill there by promising to payout the amount of the
bill at some specific future date. The bill its self is then worth something as the holder is
to receive a some of money at future date. This bill can be sold either at once or when the
funds are needed. It is sold in the money market to say, discount houses. It is similar to an
arrangement to an ordinary bill of exchange between to companies but now one of the
parties is a bank a bank bearing a reputable bank’s name can be sold in the money
markets at a lower discount rate then a bill bearing the of the medium or a small sized
company because of the reduced risk.

Bank Guarantees: - Bank guarantees is one of the facilities that the commercial bank
extends on behalf of their clients in a favor of third parties who will be beneficiaries of
the guarantees. In fact when a bank guarantee is given no credit is extended and banks do
not part with any funds there will be only guarantee to the beneficiary to make payment
in the event of the customer of whose behalf the guarantee is given, he banker given
guarantee has to pay and claim reimbursement from his client. The banker’s liabilities
arise only of his customer fails to pay the beneficiary of the guarantee. That is why banks
guarantee limit are known as ‘none borrowing limits’ or ‘none funds limits’.
SECURITY
Banks needs some security from the borrowers against the credit facilities extended to
them to avoid any kind of losses. Security can be created in various ways. Banks provide
credit on the basis of the following modes of security from the borrowers: -
Hypothecation: - Under this mode of security, the banks provide credit to borrowers
against the security of moveable property, usually inventory of goods. The goods
hypothecated, however, continue to be in possession of the owner of the goods that is the
borrowers. The right of banks depends the terms of the contract between and the lender.
Although the bank does not have the physical possession of the goods, it has the legal
right to sell the goods to realize the outstanding loans. Hypothecation facility is normally
not availed to new borrower.
Pledge: -The goods, which are offered as security, are transferred to the physical
possession of the lender. An essential prerequisite of pledge is that the goods are in the
41
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
custody of the banks. Pledge creates some kind of liability for the bank in the sense of
reasonable care of the pledge goods must be taken by the banks.
Lien: - The term lien refers to the right of a party to retain goods belonging to the other
party until a debt due to him is paid. Lien can be of two types via, particular lien i.e. a
right to retain goods until a claim pertaining to these goods is fully paid and another one
is general lien, which is applied till all dues of the claimant are paid. Banks usually enjoy
general liens.

RBI, in 1975, prescribed the format to obtain the necessary data from borrowers to assess
working capital requirement under the Credit Monitoring Assessment (CMA) in 1988.
Banks continue to obtain forms for funded working capital limits of Rs.10 million and
above as these facilitate the computation of MPFB.
Form I: - It contains particulars of existing credit from the entire banking system
including term loan facilities
Form II:- Known as the operating statement, it contains data relating to gross sales, net
sales, cost of raw materials, power and fuel, etc. it gives the operating profit and the net
profit figures.
Form III: - A complete analyses of various items of last year’s balance sheet, current
year’s estimates and following year’s projection are given in this form.
44
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Form IV: - Details of various items of current assets and current liabilities are given. The
figures in this form must tally with those in Form III.
Form V: - The calculation of MPBF is done in this form to obtain the fund based credit
limits to be granted to the borrower.
Form VI: - It provides the details of fund flow from long term sources and uses to
indicate whether they are sufficient to meet the borrower’s long-term requirements.
Once the MPBF is arrived at on the basis of inventory and receivables norms by the
appropriate method of lending, banks decide the various funds and non-fund limits based
limits. The fund-based limits should not exceed the MPBF. The cash credit component
should not be more than 20% for borrowers having working capital limit more than Rs.
100 million from the banks. The balance may be 80% may be provided as demand loan.
Working capital business cash advance is difficult to qualify for when compared with
business cash advance as an alternative source for working capital financing. Financing
bodies look at the credit score of the borrower, available collateral and various other
factors before granting a working capital business cash advance. However, most small
businesses would easily qualify for a business cash advance.
It generally takes a week or more to get working capital business cash advance at the
earliest and a lot of paper work is involved. Your application for business cash advance is
processed much faster (cash in 72 hours) and the paper work is also relatively lesser. We
maintain a very simplified process for working capital financing.
A business cash advance is never tied to a fixed repayment schedule. The repayment is
done from credit card sales receipts and the businesses generally do not feel the pinch.
Working capital loans on the other hand would have a fixed repayment schedule and the
borrower would need to repay the amount according to the schedule. If the borrower fails
to repay the working capital business cash advance, it might affect his credit score and he
also stands the chance of losing his collateral. Irrespective of the business volume on a
particular month the borrower will need to repay the working capital business cash
advance according to the pre determined fixed amount.

Definition
A bank loan to a company, with a fixed maturity and often featuring amortization of
principal. If this loan is in the form of a line of credit, the funds are drawn down shortly
after the agreement is signed. Otherwise, the borrower usually uses the funds from the
loan soon after they become available. Bank term loans are very a common kind of
lending.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the impact of increasing oil prices to the consumer
has still to be felt," observed the RBI Governor, Venugopal Reddy.
In the face of upward pressure on interest rates, the bank has kept the benchmark bank
rate - the rate at which it lends to commercial banks - and Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) -
that regulates liquidity in the market - unchanged.
The central bank has also retained interest rates on savings bank deposits at the current
3.5 per cent per annum so as not to spur interest rate, but favored deregulation of the rate
in the long run.
According to Governor Reddy, the central bank did not raise key rates because the pre-
emptive steps taken in January this year had apparently fetched the desired results, but the
decision against increasing rates was a "delicate" one.
However, to ensure that there is no liquidity squeeze, Governor Reddy, in his new credit
policy, has raised the interest rates on rupee deposits by Non-Residents and export credit
in foreign currency.
This measure is expected to bring in more liquidity in the system by absorbing more
foreign exchange.
To boost agriculture credit, the RBI has simplified and liberalized branch-licensing
policies for rural banks and set up a working group to address various issues faced by
distressed farmers, including review of legal framework for money lending.
The bank has said that it would set up another working group to examine the relevant
recommendations of the R H Patil Committee on corporate bonds and securitization.
On liquidity, the bank has said that it would continue to ensure appropriate cash
availability in the system using all the policy instruments as and when required.
46
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
"The Reserve Bank will continue to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained in the
system so that all legitimate requirements of credit are met, consistent with the objective
of price and financial stability," the central bank said in a statement. "Towards this end,
RBI will continue with its policy of active demand management of liquidity."
The 'Loan System" was introduced to minimize the risks of cash and liquidity
management on the part of the banking system, caused by volatile movements in cash
credit component of working capital. In the current environment of short-term investment
opportunities available to both corporate and banks, RBI has reviewed the guidelines
relating to the 'Loan System'. Accordingly, it has been decided that banks will henceforth
have the freedom to change the composition of working capital by increasing the cash
credit component beyond 20 per cent or to increase the 'Loan component' beyond 80 per
cent as the case may be, for working capital limits of Rs. 10 core and above, if they so
desire. Banks are expected to appropriately price each of the two components of working
capital finance, taking into account the impact of such decisions on their cash and
liquidity management. The guidelines relating to the 'Loan System', as currently
applicable are set out in the Annexure.
(a) In the case of borrowers enjoying working capital credit limits of Rs.10 corer and
above from the banking system, loan component should normally be 80 per cent. Banks,
however, have the freedom to change the composition of working capital by increasing
the cash credit component beyond 20 per cent or to increase the 'Loan Component'
beyond 80 per cent as the case may be, if they so desire. Banks are expected to
appropriately price each of the two components of working capital finance, taking into
account the impact of such decisions on their cash and liquidity management.
(b) In the case of borrowers enjoying working capital credit limit of less than Rs.10 crore,
banks may persuade them to go in for the `Loan System' by offering an incentive in the
form of lower rate of interest on the loan component, as compared to the cash credit
component. The bank may settle the actual percentage of `loan component’ in these cases
with its borrower clients.
(c) In respect of certain business activities, which are cyclical and seasonal in nature or
have inherent volatility, the strict application of loan system may create difficulties for the
47
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
borrowers. Banks may, with the approval of their respective Boards, identify such
business activities, which may be exempt from the loan system of delivery.
The ground rules for sharing of cash credit and the consortium may lay down loan
components, wherever formed, subject to guidelines on bifurcation as stated in paragraph
(1) above. The level of individual bank's share shall continue to be governed by the norm
for single borrower/group exposure.
4. Rate of Interest
Banks are allowed to prescribe Prime Lending Rates and spreads over Prime Lending
Rates separately for `loan component' and 'cash credit component'.
5. Period of Loan
Banks in consultation with borrowers may fix the minimum period of the loan for
working capital purposes. Banks may decide to split the loan component according to the
need of the borrower with different maturity bases for each segment and allow roll over.
6. Security
7. Export Credit
The bifurcation of the working capital limit into loan and cash credit components, as
stated in paragraph (1) above, would be effected after excluding the export credit limits
(pre-shipment and post-shipment). Export credit limit would continue to be allowed in the
form hitherto granted.
8. Bills limit for inland sales may be fully carved out of the `loan' component�. Bills
limit also includes limits for purchase of third party (outstation) cheques/bank drafts.
Banks must satisfy themselves that bills limit is not misultilised and in this connection,
the instructions contained in Circular DBOD. No. BC.8/16.13.100/92-93 dated July 27,
1992 should be carefully noted and complied with.
48
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
The `loan component' may be renewed/rolled over at the request of the borrower.
The banks, at their discretion, may permit the borrowers to invest their short-
term/temporary surplus in short-term money market instruments like Commercial Paper
(CP). Certificates of Deposit (CD) and in Term Deposit with banks, etc.
11. Applicability
The most common use of term loans is for businesses. If you are running a small
business, there are undoubtedly going to be times when you need some working capital to
either get things going or keep yourself afloat. Many times, a term loan is the answer for
just such a problem.
Many banks and similarly run financial institutions offer term loans as a way to help
small business owners. However, like with any other loan you and your business need to
qualify. How does that work, though? There are some factors that will affect term loan
approval.
The first thing a bank looks at when considering your business for a term loan is your
credit character. That is, they want to know how you have managed loans in the past.
They will look at you personally as well as your business. They also want to know what
your experience is. For example, if you want a term loan to open your own bait and tackle
shop, yet have no retail or fishing industry experience then you may have a tough time.
Another factor taken into account when seeking a term loan is your credit capacity. Credit
capacity is how the bank views your ability or likely ability to pay back the loan. They
will look at your business records, personal finances, and even your former business
ventures to get a clear picture.
Most banks will want collateral for a term loan. They will, in fact, probably want more in
collateral than what the loan is worth in the first place. This is to ensure that if you do not
pay back the term loan that the bank will be able to recoup their loss in some form.
49
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
As a final point, they will look at your overall capital. They will want to see your cash
holdings. They will also look at what you have available that can be liquidated.
Essentially, the bank wants to make sure that they will get their money even if your
business struggles.
If you decide to seek out a term loan for your business, you want to make sure you get
approved. Since the approval process is long and difficult, it is a good idea to have some
idea of what you should do to help your chances. Here are a few tips on getting approved.
First of all, make sure your business plan is rock solid. Your plan is where a lot of the
investigation will take place from the lender. Not only should it be solid, but also is
should be well presented and laid out. Make sure you have a well polished one to three
page summary of the plan on the front. This will be your hook.
Secondly, lenders like to see that you have a stake in your own business. A term loan for
equipment or the business as a whole will be more likely to be approved if you have at
least a 24% stake in the business. Lenders see this as motivation for you to do everything
you can to succeed.
Unlike with a home, it is better to rent than to buy. A term loan lender would rather you
were spending your money on revenue producing equipment and inventory. Rent your
building so that you tie up less money and accumulate no more business debt. Term
lenders like to see less debt.
For a small business, sometimes bigger is not better. When seeking your term loan, try the
smaller local banks. They may be more likely to take a chance on a local. Additionally, a
smaller bank is likely to give you more individual attention than a large financial
company.
50
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
While there are many reasons your small business may want to pursue a term loan, there
are also reasons not to. When it comes to financing, you should always make sure you are
taking into account the pros and cons of every option. By understanding the cons of term
loans, you may prevent yourself from making a tough financial mistake.
1. Is the amount you can secure? As you may recall, a term loan is usually limited by the
product you are financing. In fact, it is usually a percentage of the value of the equipment.
What the amount is exactly depends, of course, on the individual loan, but you are
definitely going to be limited.
2. Prepayments are often restricted. In fact, if they are allowed at all, prepayments of a
term loan are usually heavily penalized. This is something that can cause a problem if you
are used to loans that allow you to pay off the balance when you have the money
available.
3. There is usually a processing fee. In fact, that fee can be fairly substantial. With most
term loans, the fee is a small percentage of the total loan. So in addition to paying the
interest rates and being limited by the financed piece, you have to pay a fee for
processing the loan. Getting the loan, then, can be hard on your capital in itself depending
on the size of the loan.
A term loan, like most financial loans, is not for everyone or for every business. You
should carefully consider your own situation before ever moving forward with a term
loan. Not only is there danger of not qualifying, but also of putting your business into a
debt it cannot handle.
Usually the best candidates for a term loans are established small businesses. You need to
be able to show good financial statements. Having some working capital available for a
down payment is also essential in most cases since a term loan is usually a method of
financing something. Bear in mind that your repayment schedule is usually linked to the
item you finance.
As a final point, if you are going to finance equipment with a term loan, you should make
51
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
sure your business has taken everything in to consideration. Look at depreciation as well
as length of the loan. You may even want to explore leasing first. The key to good
financing is to make sure it is necessary, you can handle it, and that the term loan is what
is best for your business.
The approval process on a term loan is grueling. Make sure you are up to it as a company
and as an individual before entering into the process. Failing to get through it can mean
wasted time and a bad mark on your company’s credit for future applications.

3. EQUITY FINANCING
There are two methods for equity finance: self and investor. Regardless of method, the
following basic principles apply.
In order to use equity financing, an investor must be willing to take an ownership position
in the potential biogas project. In return for this share of project ownership, the investor is
willing to fund all or part of the project costs. Project, as well as some equipment
vendors, fuel developers, or nearby farms could be potential equity investors.
The primary advantage of this method is its availability to most projects; the primary
disadvantage is its high cost.
METHODS OF LENDING
Like many other activities of the banks, the Reserve Bank of India till 1994 mandated
method and quantum of short-term finance that can be granted to a corporate. This control
was exercised on the lines suggested by the recommendations of a study group headed by
Shri Prakash Tendon.
The study group headed by Shri Prakash Tendon, the then Chairman of Punjab National
Bank, was constituted by the RBI in July 1974 with eminent personalities drawn from
leading banks, financial institutions and a wide cross-section of the Industry with a view
to study the entire gamut of Bank's finance for working capital and suggest ways for
optimum utilization of Bank credit. This was the first elaborate attempt by the central
bank to organize the Bank credit. The report of this group is widely known as Tendon
Committee report. Most banks in India even today continue to look at the needs of the
corporate in the light of methodology recommended by the Group.
58
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
Under this method, the borrower's contribution from long term funds will be to the extent
of the entire CORE CURRENT ASSETS, which has been defined by the Study Group as
representing the absolute minimum level of raw materials, process stock, finished goods
and stores which are in the pipeline to ensure continuity of production and a minimum of
25% of the balance current assets should be financed out of the long term funds plus term
borrowings.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The manufacturing process for the Mild Steel Ingots involves melting of iron scraps or
sponge iron in a high temperature induction furnace.
68
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
The electric arc type furnaces are gradually being replaced in mini Steel Plant by furnaces
based on induction melting principles, requiring lower power consumption.
The scrap or sponge iron is kept on feeding in the molten mass in the furnace crucible
which is kept at a high temperature of 1650c.
The time for melting of raw metal depends upon quality of raw material. The impurities
called slag comes over the top of the slag pots and to the pure liquid metal the making up
quantities of required other metal elements like Manganese, Chrome, Nickel, Carbon,
Aluminum etc., are added in form of Ferro Compounds of these metals.
These Ferro Metals are added in different proportions for manufacturing different grades
of the alloy steels. And after the addition of the Ferro Metals when the liquid mass is
homogeneous the metal is casted either in the form of ingots.

INDUSTRY SCENARIO
The Induction Melting Furnace industry is in operation in India for over two and half
decades. Products made by this industry are given below:
Stainless Steel ingots for making utensils, wire rods and wires
The Electric Induction Melting Furnaces have been filling the gap for structural and
constructional steels because the Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) ceased to produce Mild
Steel and switched over to value added products. The other source of supply was from
Main Producers in the form of billets for further processing by Re-rolling Mills. In the
last two years there is increase in production of Mild Steel due high demand. It is,
however, noted that demand in recent months has picked up further and the production of
Mild Steel has increased from Electric Induction Melting Furnaces. Products made by the
Induction Melting Furnace industry particularly Mild Steel for structural purposes are
being accepted in the market. It meets specification requirement of the Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS). The Stainless Steels, Nickel free or low Nickel produced by the
Induction Melting Furnaces are used for making utensils. Nearly 10 Plants have AOD
refining facilities that have started making special quality Stainless Steels for making
rods, tubes and wires. They are being exported also. During the last two years, over 20
new units have been installed in the country with bigger capacity furnaces. It is learnt that
in the State of Bihar, Goa, Kerala, Uttaranchal and Pondicherry some plants have been
installed by shifting them from other States because of power availability and
concessional power rates. After December 2003, plants have been installed by shifting
them from other States because of power availability (M/s Bhav Shakti Steelmines Pvt
Ltd is not facing any power problem since its inception) and concessional power rates.

Marketing arrangement
The Iron & Steel Industry in India has had an excellent market in Public & Private
sectors. With trust to infrastructure development, changes in Government Policies &
Liberalization, Steel Industry in India has a bright future.
The per capita consumption of Steel in India is one of the lowest in the world, which is
projected to increase manifold as envisaged in the ninth plan. This substantiates the claim
that there is vast potential for the demand for Steel Ingots, which is basic raw material for
manufacturing of various products used by construction, automobiles, forging, heavy
machineries and such other industries.
STEEL INGOTS IS A BASIC RAW MATERIAL USED BY ROLLING MILLS AND FORGING SHOPS TO
MANUFACTURE GIRDERS, I-BEAMS, TOR STEEL, ANGLES, CHANNELS ETC. WHICH ARE REQUIRED FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS, DAMS, BRIDGES, TELECOMMUNICATION AND ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION
NETWORK ALL FORMING ESSENTIAL PART OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS THE PRIME

CONCLUSION:-
STATEMENT -
BREAKEVEN ANALYSIS
Variable Costs
Fixed Costs
The summer internship I have done in project financing at Synergy financial Services. In
these four months tenure I achieve lot of knowledge about project financing. It is nothing
but the projection for estimate about the company. In this period I have analyzed many
company’s balance sheet, there projection and prepare project report.
It is totally based on our logical skill and even it has to depend upon our analytical skill.
In the projection I have learn how to build the company’s position, and how would the
company rich their turnover? And in that to perceive the achievable turnover of the
company and to put the comments on it, and to find out why the company hasn’t achieved
their sales.
The above case study is the live example of my portfolio. In that case study the comments
on key factors is as following:
SALES:-
2010 3788.03 -
The company is engaged in manufacturing of steel products and the turnover for the year
2010 is of Rs.3788.03lacs with installed capacity of 20400 MT and during the year 2011
the company’s expected sales is Rs. 4232.47lacs with the growth of 11.73%. However,
further the expected turnover is likely to improve in same line.
112
DPES Institute of Business Management 2008-09
2010
2011
2012
2013
2014
The PBT for the year 2010 is Rs. 103.26 lacs and for the next year is Rs. 125.56 lacs. The
PBT is in growing position because of the company is going to increase their turnover
step by step. In the year 2012 the company is expected their PBT is Rs. 143.70 lacs. Its
huge jump though by company is going to control on their cost of production and to
improve their turnover. Hence for the projection year it is likely to improve in same line.
CURRENT RATIO:-
The current ratio for the year 2011 is 1.40:1 and for the further next year is 1.55:1 which
is sufficient for the company, it means the company has current assets more than current
liabilities. The current ratio is satisfactory for the company.
The TNW of the company for the year 2010 is 211.54 and for the next year is 299.24 it
means the company have well position of net worth. It’s for the next year is also in well
norms.
So, the above case study shows really position of the company and this case study is
really helping me to build my analytical skill. This is the very well experienced for me
and it absolute; it helps me to rich my goal.
