Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving infrastructure development, notably mobilizing financial resources for infrastructure projects, has been challenging in many countries. This study includes two parts: an empirical analysis of macroeconomic risks associated with infrastructure booms, and a case study of four emerging economies about their practice of funding infrastructure development. The study shows that (i) there is no empirical evidence that rapid infrastructure growth would undermine contemporary macroeconomic performance, implying that room is created to accommodate infrastructure booms without compromising fiscal and external sustainability; (ii) banks may play an important role in financing infrastructure, but caution is needed to avoid directed lending and regulatory forbearance that the authorities may use to promote financing; (iii) capital market development is important to accommodate the usually high financing needs, and encouraging private investors to move into infrastructure would require regulatory and institutional improvements; and (iv) public support, including credit guarantees, may help bolster investors' confidence, but the authorities should carefully monitor and manage fiscal risks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments the world over want to spend more on infrastructure (the benchmark for developing countries is 7-8% of GDP per annum) to lay the foundation for sustained and inclusive growth. India is no exception. It realizes that more needs to be spent on infrastructure for the country to regain its position as the fastest growing large economy in the world. While India spent about 7.2% of its GDP on infrastructure during the Eleventh Plan period (2008-12), this number has recently come down to approximately 5%. The backdrop of the book is the ambitious National Infrastructure Plan (NIP); the Task Force report on the NIP was finalized in April 2020. Since infrastructure investment is crucial to faster and inclusive growth, it is timely that the NIP is actioned now, given that the Indian economy contracted to 7.3% in the financial year 2020-21. This book discusses various aspects of infrastructure financing in detail, with a major section devoted to green financing of infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Availability of adequate, efficient and affordable infrastructural facilities -- power, transport, communications, irrigation and others -- constitutes the core of development strategy and efforts. Unfortunately, infrastructural bottlenecks remain the biggest stumbling block of industrial progress in India. By their very nature, infrastructure projects involve huge initial investments, long gestation periods and high risk. Various initiatives have been taken for the development of infrastructure in India after the initiation of economic reforms in the early 1990s. India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) was incorporated on January 5, 2006 to lend funds, of longer term maturity, directly to the eligible projects to supplement other loans from banks and financial institutions. Broad guidelines were issued on September 23, 2011 for setting up Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDFs) to facilitate flow of funds into infrastructure projects. Electricity Act, 2003 recognises trading of power as a distinct activity and permits State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) to allow open access in distribution of electricity in phases that would ultimately encourage efficiency and competition. Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) was launched by the Prime Minister on April 4, 2005. This scheme is for rural electricity infrastructure and household electrification. The National Highways Development Project (NHDP)the largest highway project ever undertaken by the countryis being implemented by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). National Telecom Policy, 2011 seeks to maximize public good by making available affordable, reliable and secure telecommunication and broadband services across the entire country. Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 seeks to promote value addition component in exports, generate employment and mobilise foreign exchange. Planning Commission, Government of India, in its Approach Paper released in October 2011 has projected an investment in infrastructure of over ` 45 lakh crore (about US$ 1 trillion) during the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-17). It is projected that at least 50 percent of this investment will come from the private sector as against the 36 percent anticipated in the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12). This book provides an exhaustive and analytical account of various facets of infrastructure development in India. It contains 32 chapters which are categorised under the following 8 theme parts: Part I: Infrastructure and Economic Development. Part II: Energy Needs, Sources and Management. Part III: Transport Services. Part IV: Telecommunications, Information Technology (IT), Postal Services, and Broadcasting. Part V: Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Part VI: Water Resources and Irrigation. Part VII: Rural Infrastructure and Services. Part VIII: Urban Infrastructure and Services. Besides, there are 9 Appendices which contain varied information on infrastructure in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure financing is regarded as the lifeline of a nation in view of its significance in economic growth and sophistication of a country. The lack of long-term debt has been the core issue faced by the infrastructure sector. With the upswing of economic reforms process and globalisation effects, umpteen avenues are there for infrastructure financing not only from sources within the country, but from outside too. During the last decade, infrastructure in India has seen several strides, with many projects having been undertaken with public private participation. It is, in this context essential that these huge projects need effective monitoring and control in terms of their performance. Such a measure, which is crucial for the financial structuring and inflow of funds, also boosts the confidence of investors. When investors acquire confidence about their investments, further flow of funds becomes easy. This book attempts to capture all the relevant aspects of infrastructure financing in India, citing examples of similar initiatives in other parts of the globe and to provide insights into the dynamics of infrastructure financing in the context of a globalised economy.

Download or read book Project Appraisal in Infrastructure Financing by Indian Banks written by Vikas Srivastava and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure contributes to economic development both by increasing productivity and by providing amenities which enhance the quality of life. The Planning Commission has estimated that investment in infrastructure - defined broadly to include road, rail, air and water transport, electric power, telecommunications, water supply and irrigation - will need to be of the order of about 14,50,000 cr or US$320 bn during the 11th Five Year Plan period. This is a requirement of immense magnitude. Not all of this investment can come from public resources. Reports about the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) asking banks to take on more exposure in financing infrastructure projects should prima facie be welcomed. The RBI's move is to garner the surplus in the banking sector and utilize it for building infrastructure assets. Banks' participation in infrastructure finance needs is to be preceded by a strong understanding of the risk return characteristics of the project per se, as well as of the risk mitigating and risk sharing techniques built into the financing structure. Most of this new investment is structured as project financing which deviates from traditional corporate finance. It is imperative, therefore that banks and financial institutions should have the requisite expertise for appraising the viability and bankability of projects. In this regard, the study explains the salient issues of project appraisal involved in infrastructure financing.
