Ministry of Finance is involved in examining the concession agreements from the financial perspective, guarantees to be extended, and assesses risk allocation from the investment and banking perspective Ministry of Law scrutinizes concession agreements from legal Powerful perspective and independent public auditor Decision making is slow due to risk averseness of the project proponents Page 6

5 So what are the investors in India saying..provide Long term funds Source: Indian Infrastructure, Volume 16, No. 5, December 2013 Key Issues in PPP Financing High exposure of Indian commercial banks to the Infrastructure sector [Exposure to Infrastructure sector grew at 28% CAGR from 26% in March 2009 to 35% in March 2013] Increasing Asset Liability Mismatch problem Source: Passing rate cut benefits: Banks face ALM hurdle, The Indian Express, 30 March 2013 Other Issues Underdeveloped Bond Market Discouraging Market Conditions resulting in reduced PE and FDI inflows Low capacity for project appraisal of public sector banks Page 7 Tackling the structural issues in infrastructure finance Need for a sustained effort at developing bond market Need to ramp up the capacities of FIs to increase long term infra funding Substantial credit growth to come from public sector banks interventions are required to ramp up their project appraisal capacities.

6 So what are the investors in India saying.. Create robust shelf of projects Lack of viable and bankable projects Poor project preparation and no consultation with the lenders during project preparation Robust Due diligence Conduct a robust and high quality technical and commercial due diligence Creation of an online data base for PPP projects- sharing of all data: demand and cost assumptions, technical and financial studies Adequate project preparation Secure the required approvals and land for the project before bidding More sector programs There is no sectoral depth road sector dominate the PPPs create a shelf of projects with approval mechanism and bidding documents. Page 9 Presentation title So what are the investors in India saying.. Allocate Risks equitably Lenders do not want to have control over the construction and want the public sector to share construction risk. Balanced risk allocation and regulatory design Balance efficiency incentives, risk mitigation to ensure successful long term partnership between public and private sector There is no scope of rebalancing of risks in concession agreements Enabling environment Enhance a conducive enabling environment for PPPs across sectors Page 10

7 So what are the investors in India saying.. Build more Capacities in the Government Need for a PPP Law or Policy Need to build capacities in the government around PPP Contract Management Single-window approvals for standard project requirements Need for regulatory reforms to simplify approval processes Land acquisition and other statutory approvals should be obtained before bidding process commences The focus of procuring through PPP mode should be to benefit from private sector efficiencies rather than capital Page 11 Presentation title Summing up Provide Long term Financing: bridge the gap Build more capacities in the Government Create a robust shelf of projects Need for sector specific programs & program specific approval mechanism Maximize use of PPPs through long term funded National Infrastructure plans Need to unlock underlying value of existing assets first than creating new assets Page 12
