Presentation Structure
Old methods of financing urban infrastructure projects Common issues in infrastructure financing
New methods
Challenges
Way forward
Old Methods
based on state/ sovereign guarantees Not on a Project Recourse basis, with demonstrated project viability Generally short/ medium tenure
AND - State/ agencies running out of financial resources and guarantee capacity
However...
In
urban infrastructure, the old method still largely continues to be the current practice for raising finances
Infrastructure Investment
As per the India Infrastructure Report, estimated infrastructure investment up to the 11th 5 year plan ending 2011 estimated is about $575 billion. The estimated actual investment is of the order of 30%, all said Adding the backlog of investment, the requirement for further investment in infrastructure is therefore gargantuan
Changing Mindsets
About half of the investment requirement for infrastructure can be raised by the Government/ Agencies
The balance funds have to be raised from private sources
There is rapidly growing awareness at all levels that a partnership has to be forged with the private sector developers and/or investors
Common Issues
In infrastructure financing
Cross
Stable
for proper Regulatory Structures, generally on a common basis across the country:
Urban Services (including water), Transport projects (roads, airports, pipelines), have no regulatory frameworks in place
While there are many essential precepts to establishing and improving urban infrastructure services, the need of the day is a coherent and concerted attempt by all stakeholders working in a partnership
of services
Pay
User charges have to be kept in line with the cost of providing services
But in Urban Infrastructure there are social issues, willingness-to-charge issues, and questions of affordability for essential services. A clear balance has to be struck between user charges, subsidies, and risk allocation between the Government and the Private Sector
New Methods
Various attempts are being made to convert Urban Services (water, waste-water, Solid waste, etc) into Bankable projects
This is likely to open a new area for investments And a new breed of Operating companies to provide these services But projects have to be systematically identified, structured and developed
Infrastructure Funds
Set
Would be a fresh approach to involve private sector participation in India, especially in new areas
address the typical asset-liability mismatch of long-gestation infrastructure projects To facilitate participation of banks and other commercial institutions which cannot lend long-term money
IDFCs take-out structures are a step in this direction
Pool Fund
Convergence
projects are stalled because the policy and legislative framework has not been properly thought-through and/or put in place
This includes the procurement strategy And acceptable risk allocation frameworks
Project Development
State and its agencies have to deploy adequate resources to properly develop a bankable shelf of projects
Else difficult to attract private sector interest Leap into the dark process
State and private sector need to think seriously about setting aside adequate, dedicated project development funds
Equity Funds
Need
Strategic investors in infra projects may not be in a position to raise a substantive portion of the equity
GoI
nominating IDFC as a Nodal Agency for an Infrastructure Equity Fund with participation of other financial institutions is a step in this direction
and more State Governments and even Local Bodies are commencing Public-Private-Partnership initiatives
IDFCs own experience with iDECK (Karnataka), Uttaranchal, TN, Kerala, and many other States reflects the imperative need felt by the States to fast forward infrastructure development at a local level
Suggested Approach
To
replicable frameworks
will on the part of all stakeholders (including political and social commitment) to implement projects as soon as possible, and put the country on a fast-track development path!
Suggestions
Establishing of Project Working Group: Projects often face problems which need to be resolved quickly. A working group of high level functionaries required for each sector to resolve problems in a timely manner. In some ways akin to the erstwhile working group for project exports. Hedge Funds: Hedge Funds may be considered for providing credit enhancement to the Lenders. Projects may contribute to the corpus to assist the future green field projects.
Suggestions- contd
Rating of Projects: All large projects, say exceeding Rs.1000 cr may be rated by external agencies. This would facilitate raising resources from market. Single Window Mechanisms for approvals: All mandatory approvals may be given on a single window basis which would facilitate expeditious commencement of project implementation. Banks may be permitted to provide bridge financing against budgetary support.

Aspects-contd.
Services produced are non tradable-no imports for excess demand and no exports for excess supply Vulnerable to Regulatory and policy changes Politically sensitive tariffs Investments are open to certain risks

Aspects-Contd.
Projects are not homogenous, neither are solutions-characteristics differ between sectors and within sectors between different phases of project Finance has to be disaggregated-by origin(foreign or domestic),by sector(public, private, joint)

By techniques and instruments of finance and by types of finance(new investment,maintenance and working capital)

Vulnerability to cuts in Govt.Budget Inadequate cost recovery due to politically sensitive tariff structure These issues called for an altogether new approach to Infrastructure Financing with a focus on Private Participation facilitated by technical/financial innovation.

Basic Features
An agreement by financially responsible parties to complete the project and make available all funds necessary to achieve completion An agreement (in the form of purchase contract of out put) that on project completion & commencement of operation the project will have available sufficient cash to meet all its operating expenses and debt service requirements, even if the project fails to perform for any reasons

Contd.
An assurance that, in the event of disruption in operations and additional funds are required for restoring it, necessary funds will be made available through insurance recoveries, advances against future deliveries or through some other means It is different from conventional direct financing on a firms general credit. In project financing, the project assets, project related contracts & project cash flow are segregated to a great degree from the sponsoring entity

Contd.
Project financing is not a means of raising funds to finance a project that is so weak economically, that it may not be able to service the debt or provide an acceptable rate of return to equity investors. Project financing requires careful financial engineering to allocate the risks and rewards among involved parties in a manner that is mutually acceptable. The key to successful project financing is structuring the financing part with as little recourse as possible to the sponsor while at the same time providing sufficient credit support through guarantees or undertakings of sponsor so that lenders will be satisfied with credit risk.
