- 1. ROLE OF IIFCL IN INFRASTRUCTURAL FINANCING K K JINDAL
- 2. WHAT IS INFRASTRUCTURAL Financing? There is a need for large and continuing amounts of investment in almost all areas of infrastructure in India. This includes transportation (roads, ports, railways, and airports),energy (generation and transmission), communications (cable, television, fiber, mobile and satellite) and agriculture (irrigation, processing and warehousing). The key issue is, while the need exists, how will these projects get financed.
- 4. Characteristics of infrastructural financing
- 5. Financing infrastructure in 11th five year plan
- 6. Infrastructure Financing required in 2010-11 and 2011-12
- 7. Role of IIFCL IIFCL was incorporated on 5 January 2006 under the Companies Act 1956 as a wholly government-owned company. IIFCL is an apex financial intermediary for purposes of the development and financing of infrastructure projects and facilities in the country. IIFCL renders financial assistance through: (i) Direct lending to eligible projects (ii) Refinance to banks and financing institutions (FIs) for loans with a tenor of 5years or more (iii) Any other method approved by the Government of India (GOI)

- 10. Iifcl and its mode of financing
- 11. Subordinate debt: It is expected to help PPP infrastructure projects to achieve faster financial closure. Refinance to Banks: IIFCL to refinance upto 80% of the long term infrastructure loans disbursed by banks. Iifcl and its mode of financing
- 12. Scheme for financing viable infrastructure projects through India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL)
- 13. Funding of IIFCL under the scheme Apart from its equity, the IIFCL ussually funded through long-term debt raised from the open market. This debt can be any or all of the following: [a] Rupee debt raised from the market through suitable instruments created for the purpose; the IIFCL would ordinarily raise debt of maturity of 10 years and beyond. [b] Debt from bilateral or multilateral institutions such as the World Bank and Asian Development Bank. [c] Foreign currency debt, including through external commercial borrowings raised with prior approval of the Government.
- 14. Funding of iifccontinue…. The IIFCL raise funds as and when required, for on lending, in consultation with the Department of Economic Affairs. The borrowings of IIFCL is guaranteed by the Government of India. The guarantee fee payable by the IIFCL is 0.25% per annum on outstanding balances The facility of guarantees including the terms for guarantee will be reviewed after 5 years, and its continuation shall be subject to the outcome of the review. IIFC may raise funds from domestic institutions namely, banks, FIs etc.
- 15. Project finance by iifc The IIFCL finance only commercially viable projects. The project shall be implemented (i.e. developed, financed and operated for the Project Term) by: [i] A Public Sector Company [ii] A Private Sector Company selected under a PPP initiative; or [iii] A Private Sector Company Provided that the SPV shall assign overriding priority to Private Public Partnership projects that are implemented by Private Sector Companies selected through a competitive bidding process.
- 16. Project finance by iifcconti… Provided that in case of Railway projects that are not amendable to operation by a Private Sector Company, the Empowered Committee may relax the eligibility criterion relating to operation by such company. Only such projects which are implemented through a Project Company set up on a non-recourse basis shall be eligible for financing by IIFCL. In the event that the IIFCL needs any clarification regarding eligibility of a project, it may refer the case to the Empowered Committee for appropriate directions.
- 17. Appraisal & Monitoring by Lead Bank The Lead Bank shall present its appraisal of the project for the consideration of the IIFCL The IIFCL will not normally be required to carry out any independent appraisal of the project. The Lead Bank shall be responsible for regular monitoring and periodic evaluation of compliance of the project with agreed milestones and performance levels, particularly for purpose of disbursement of IIFCL funds. It shall send periodic progress reports in such form and at such times, as may be prescribed by IIFCL.
- 18. Lending Terms The Project Company will have the right to choose any of the modes of lending given above. The total lending by the IIFCL to any Project Company does not exceed 20% of the Total Project cost The rate of interest charged by IIFCL is such as to cover all funding costs including administrative costs and guarantee fee, if any. The IIFCL will release funds to the Lead Bank as and when due

The IIFCL, the Lead Bank and the Project Company shall enter into a Tripartite Agreement for the purposes of this scheme The first two years of operation of the Scheme, projects meeting the eligibility criteria could be funded on a first-come, first served basis.
- 20. Lending to PPP Projects In case of PPP projects, the private Sector Company shall be selected through a transparent and open competitive bidding process. PPP projects based on standardized/model documents duly approved by the respective government would be preferred Prior to inviting offers through a open competitive bid, the concerned government or statutory entity may seek ‘in principle’ approval of the IIFCL for financial assistance under the Scheme
- 21. Take out financing scheme formed by iifc TAKE OUT FINANCE: Infrastructure projects may need financing arrangements in which the project can be financed initially on the basis of shorter-term debt (such as credit from suppliers to finance equipment purchase) that is refinanced later by longer-term debt. A specialized institution could help guarantee such refinancing within a predetermined financing cost. This amounts to giving the project an assurance that if refinancing is not available on specified terms when needed, it will either be provided directly by the institution or the difference between the predetermined cost of financing and the cost at which funds can be raised will be reimbursed to the project. A commercial fee should, of course, be charged for this service
- 22. OBJECTIVE OF TAKEOUT FINANCE
- 23. FEATURE OF TAKE OUT FINANCE SCHEME In case of Take-out Financing, IIFCL direct lending to the project does not exceed 10% of the project cost and total lending including Takeout Financing by IIFCL shall not exceed 30% of total project cost. On the Scheduled Date of Occurrence of Takeout, the takeout will be executed in respect of only those loans, which are classified as standard assets in the books of the Lenders who have signed the Takeout Agreement. On the Scheduled Date of Occurrence of Takeout, the takeout will be executed if the project has achieved an average Debt Service Coverage Ratio (1 year of operation) of at least 1.10. Once takeout is effected pursuant to the Takeout Agreement, IIFCL’s security interest in the project’s assets and cash flows shall rank paripassu with senior debt extended by the Lender(s).
- 25. CUMMULATIVE SECTOR WISE LOAN APPROVAL
- 26. IIFCL is the SPV created. In keeping with the Budget announcement, the company would render financial assistance through- – Direct lending to eligible projects – Refinance to banks and financial institutions (FIs) for loans with tenor of five years or more – Any other method approved by GOI The other salient features of infrastructure funding through the company are: ! Loan assistance from SPV shall not exceed 20 per cent of project cost. ! A project awarded to a private sector company for development, financing, construction through PPP shall have overriding priority under the scheme. ! Private sector companies will not be eligible for direct lending and only the refinancing option will be available in such cases. Further, the total lending to such projects will be kept within 20 per cent of the lending programme of the IIFCL. ! The rate of interest charged by IIFCL shall be such as to cover all fund costs including guarantee fee as well as administrative cost. IIFCL is expected to be a very lean organization which would keep overheads to the minimum and thus keep the cost of funds for infrastructure at a competitive level. The company would fill the gap for long term infrastructure finance which the banks are not in a position to address owing to concerns relating to mismatches in assets and liabilities
Notes de l'éditeur
- 1. Longer Maturity: Infrastructure finance tends to have maturities between 5 years to 40years. This reflects both the length of the construction period and the life of theunderlying asset that is created. A hydro-electric power project for example may takeas long as 5 years to construct but once constructed could have a life of as long as 100years, or longer.2. Larger Amounts: While there could be several exceptions to this rule, a meaningfulsized infrastructure project could cost a great deal of money. For example a kilometerof road or a mega-watt of power could cost as much as US$ 1.0 mn and consequentlyamounts of US$ 200.0 to US$ 250.0 mn (Rs.9.00 bn to Rs.12.00 bn) could be requiredper project.3. Higher Risk: Since large amounts are typically invested for long periods of time it is notsurprising that the underlying risks are also quite high. The risks arise from a variety offactors including demand uncertainty15, environmental surprises16, technologicalobsolescence (in some industries such as telecommunications) and very importantly,political and policy related uncertainties.4. Fixed and Low (but positive) Real Returns: Given the importance of these investmentsand the cascading effect higher pricing here could have on the rest of the economy,annual returns here are often near zero in real terms17. However, once again as in thecase of demand, while real returns could be near zero they are unlikely to be negativefor extended periods of time (which need not be the case for manufactured goods)18.Returns here need to be measured in real terms because often the revenue streams ofthe project are a function of the underlying rate of inflation.
- The India Infrastructure Finance CorporationLtd. (IIFC) has since been corporatised andoperationalised. It will provide financialassistance through long term debt; eitherby way of refinance to banks and financialinstitutions or by direct lending to projectcompanies. It will lend upto 20% of the capitalcosts of a project.
- For project appraisal andlending operations, IIFC would rely on the leadbanks associated with the respective projects.Inbuilt in this scheme is a preference for PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) projects that areawarded to private companies selected througha competitive bidding process. Such projectswill be eligible for direct lending by IIFC,and will also receive an overriding priority.IIFC will raise funds from both domesticas well as external markets on the strengthof government guarantees, which willbe extended as necessary. In the first yearof its operation, a guarantee limit of Rs.10,000crore (US$ 2.2 billion) has been specified bythe government.IIFC is expected to provide the much neededlong-term debt for financing infrastructureprojects. In doing so, it will play a catalytic rolein building world-class infrastructure in India.
