INTRODUCTION

The project title as “PROJECT FINANCE MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF

EXPRESSWAY PROJECT IN HYDRABAD, TN” with a view to review how Project
finance offer various benefit like opportunity for risk sharing with other stakeholder with the
assistance of contractual agreements and it also empowers the providers of fund to make a
decision the way to manage the free cash flows that's left after paying operational and
maintenance expense. Project finance is financing for giant capital intensive project such
hospital, road, power projects, mining project etc. In project finance funding is completed
using non recourse or limited recourse financial structure. The debt and equity wont to
finance the project are paid back from the income generated by the project. Or we will say
that project finance may be a loan structure that relies totally on project’s income for
repayment with the project’s assets, rights and interest held as secondary collateral. Project
finance attracts the private sector because companies can fund major projects off record. A
special purpose entity is made by the project sponsor and that they transfer only those assets
to the SPE which are necessary to capitalize the project. Special purpose entities are very
dominant a part of project financing and also for all the participants involved in project.
Project finance India is employed for both Greenfield and Brownfield projects like public
infrastructure (road, airports, metro, and rail), Energy related projects (solar, thermal, wind
and hydro), and construction, manufacturing etc. these are the foremost appropriate sectors
for project finance as they need low technological risk, a fairly predictable market. Project
finance is especially used for infrastructural projects to be built mainly by governments and is
additionally employed by companies which are entirely private

Green field project may be a project which is started from the scratch level means this is
often the method of making new infrastructure or factory means the project isn't constrained
by prior work. The project which is made in unused land where there's no need of demolish
or remodeling. Green field Projects are those where everything connected with the Project,
from identifying the location, to the event plan, auxiliary or support services, etc are all to be
done from the
Scratch. It can include infrastructure projects like metro project, airport project, construction
projects etc.

4
Whereas, brown field projects is that the project which is started on the brown field site like
building, infrastructure or land which was operated in past but now it's not within the
condition of using it.

Special purpose vehicle:

Special purpose vehicle is a special kind of entity formed by the sponsor of the project with
the purpose to isolate the financial risk with assets and liability structure and position SPV is
formed for acting as a project owner in project finance. It’s additionally created to isolate
monetary risk. SPV is called as the project company which is formed for the project purpose
only and the parent company transfers only those assets to special purpose vehicle which are
required for the project.

Factors affecting project Finance

Project finance is a complex and also it involves risk so it's important to know the factors that
will help in minimizing the risk.

1. Understanding the scope of project and location- Project scope is a part of project
planning it determine specific project goal features function that line so before starting the
project it is important to understand the scope it is also important to understand the location
of a place where the project is going to take place like for the project of constructing
Highway it is important to evaluate the allocation like if there is any need of Expressway at
that particular location.

2. Recognize the value of Organization capabilities- Organization capabilities are

combination of skills Technologies and human capability that differentiate an organization
from other so it is important to access whether the organization have all this capabilities or
capabilities or capabilities or have all this capabilities or capabilities or not which is
important for constructing the project.

3. Review all the project document carefully- It is important to review the project
document that includes review of contractual agreement as a function and all other type of
information of project for analyzing the risk you also need to understand the nature of the
project while doing the documentation review you need to review all the necessary
documents that are related to the project.

4.Become expert in public private partnership- It is important to be very much aware

about public private partnership and also be aware about the benefits process and legal frame
work which is required for public private partnership as government now wants to hand over
the infrastructure projects to private company for PPP model is proven to be successful.

6
5. Identify evaluate and monitor risk- Whenever you are going to start a project it is
important to evaluate how much riskier the project is leg whether the project will able to
generate return of the project will able to repay the debt or not so it is important to identify
evaluate and monitor the risk of the project which you are going to start.

6. Define the market entry strategy- this step is to understand manager that that is with
project financing it includes knowing about the competition in the market selecting the
contractors the need and value of the project political environment lowing the key players
collecting records of similar project information about the sponsors etc.

NON RECOURSE DEBT

Non recourse suggests that the creditors trust solely on special purpose company to repay that
loan or the opposite obligation out there. Obligation is recourse solely to the project
company. Non-recourse debt is also a kind of loan secured by collateral that is usually
property. If the recipient defaults, the institution will seize the collateral however cannot
search out the recipient for from now on compensation, albeit the collateral does not cowl the
entire price of the defaulted quantity. Non-recourse debt is riskier to the loaner than recourse
debt. Lenders charge higher interest rates on non-recourse debt to catch informed the elevated
risk. The loaner may not seize any assets of the recipient on the far side the collateral.

LITRATURE REVIEW

The paper is about preparing financial model of long term infrastructure project. A case study and
financial model is implemented using spread sheets Microsoft excel. And the cash flow of the
project is prepared. The author focuses on analyzing financial viability of three main primary
parties involved in PPP-BOT project i.e. SLR for financial institution and lenders. And all the three
parties are very important for successful infrastructural project.

The study is done on the mechanism of attracting funds for highway infrastructure construction
project through ppp. Financial strategy is presentable based on life cycle of the project that uses
project finance approach. And thus strategy can be used by the project company to raise capital
for ppp based highway projects. And according to the author debt capital is more attractive than
equity but getting debt capital as design stage is not easy but the contribution of sponsors and
government support allow the project company to get significant amount of borrowed loan.

The paper is about project finance model for small contractors. As construction project required
large working capital and there are very financial limited option available for contractor banks
and other lending institution to cover large working capital requirement. The current financing
structure is observed through review of literature and interviews. The paper shows that higher
growth rate can be achieved by using project financing in comparison to traditional fine of credit
arrangement.

The paper gives overview about project finance and the key features which distinguish it from other
method of financing such as corporate lending, securitization leveraged buyout (LBO) and venture

capital. According to the research private and public sector parties leverage greater benefit
afforded by project finance.

The project with high leverage gets unrealistic result from CAPM. The research is done on 20
highway projects in Portugal to find use and limits of project finance of Capital asset pricing model
for calculating cost of capital with a overview of highway project. . It was founded that extremely
leverage PPP project demands the use of different approaches to find cost of capital of PPP based
highway project.

There are significant factors like change in progress payment, payment duration, financial position
of contractor, project delays and poor planning that affects the cash flow forecasting of
construction project. Acc to the author it is an advantage to have prior knowledge of cash
forecasting and and understand the impact of various cash flow factors.

According to Mohamadwastiy, 2019 Project finance is one of the most efficient mechanisms
enabling to accumulate various financial resources to implement investment on projects. The
project finance include various elements (participants, objects of financing, contracts, risk
management, infrastructure) which are closely interrelated and ensure the efficiency of financial
flows.

Ashish Sharma, 2019 who is the member of NHAI stated that National Highway authority of India
will try out project based funding for building highways under the engineering, procurement and
construction route as India’s highway development agency.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP

A public private partnership is a long term contract between a private party and a government
entity for the provision of public service and development of public infrastructure in which
responsibilities and rewards are shared.PPP can be in wide range of sectors like Road,
energy, rails education and Health

There are number of typical characteristic which differentiate it from conventional

project approaches.

1.Funding sources- Traditional infrastructure project are funded by the national budget of a
country where the government selects a contractor and pays this contractor based on the
progress of construction this means that most payments are made up front during the
construction period. In PPP project private investors are financing the infrastructure but they
are not doing it for free. They expect to generate profit out of their investment which means
they have to be remunerated. There are typically two ways that private investor in PPP
project can generate return on their investment first private partners can be granted right to
collect fees from users collecting tools on highway for road projects for road projects
highway for road projects for road projects second the government can reimburse the private
partners walk through called as availability plan payments in case of availability payments of
availability payments the private operators are paid based on the availability of the Asset over
time over time of the Asset over time in the example of a highway project the government
made check at regular interval if the asset is available meaning in the road can be used and if
the acid meets the quality standards defined in the contract means the quality of the road
surface is meet the ability criteria. Government pays a fixed payment to the private operator if
at some point in time the Asset no longer fully meets today availability criteria then the
payment by the government is reduced. This approach serves as a great strong incentive for
the private partner to maintain asset performance over time so while in traditional
infrastructure projects payments are made up front it public private partnerships no public
funds are disbursed during the construction phase, payment to the private partners are spread
over the lifetime of the project once the project is operational

2. Duration- In traditional procurement the relationship between the government and private
contractor is till the construction phase is over. But in public private partnerships the
relationship continues far beyond completion of construction as the private partner is
responsible for not only building the infrastructure but also for operating it for a set number
of years typically more than 20.Correspondingly the public authority must monitor the of the
private operator throughout the length of contract at the end of public private partnership
contract partnership contract, assets rights usually revert back to back to the public authority
and this is a major distinction between public private partnerships and the outright
privatization of public assets.

3. output v/s input- The third element that differentiates PPP from conventional projects are
defined in terms of output what we want to achieve while traditional procurement focuses on
input how to achieve what we want in case of Highway project this means that project
specification of public private partnership might refers to indicators of roads office quality
rather than to be specific details of good construction for an airport project and output could
be handling capacity of ten Million passengers by year whereas an input might Be two
terminals each at least 250000 square meters and so on using output specifications provide
the private sector with the opportunity to come up with innovative solutions for delivering the
public service which might result in significant cost savings this focus on output specification
requires a fundamentally different mindset and may necessitate adjustment from public
partners more familiar with conventional input oriented approaches.

4. Risk-While in traditional procurement more risk are born buy public sector in public
private partnership risk are shared among public and private partners for example in public
private partnerships the private sector usually supports the construction and operational risk
but what are these risks in any project there is always a risk debt construction and operational
cost may operational cost may exceed the estimated budget in a traditional procurement
model that financial risk is placed solely on the shoulder of government entity shoulder of
government entity of government entity in PPP project model risk is allocated to the private
partner charged with undertaking construction and operation this means that in a public
private partnership the public sector partnership the public sector public sector not exposed to
risk from potential cost over in public private partnership the risk are typically be viewed at

1

the outset and the project is structure to allocate risk to risk to allocate risk to the partners
who is best equipped to manage them.

These are the four key differences between public private partnerships and traditional
procurement models

Benefits of PPP (Public private partnership projects).

1. Attracts private capital- Public private partnership is viewed as a viable means to finance
project that would not otherwise be feasible due to public budget constraints. Public private
partnership projects are however not free private sector has to be sector has to be remunerated
for its investment using a public private partnership structure can provide short term financial
relief however this will onlyalliviate infrastructure funding issues to the extent that user fee
can be charged..

2. Additional revenue streams- Additional revenue can be generated from the public asset
speaking of additional revenue let understand with the example of an airport project from a
public perspective and Airport is mainly seen as a means to means to provide transportation
services two passengers and Airlines the private sector might be able to identify and develop
more efficiently at the source of revenue from this assets such as shops hostel car parks and
so on this revenue sources could serve to partly fund address structure investments.

3. Efficiency gain- Second benefit and key motivation for employing a PPP model is the
realization of efficiency gains through improved project delivery operation and management
and access to technology access to technology the goal is to improve the quality of Public
Service Delivery Service Delivery by taking advantage of private sector efficiency

4.Construction quality and adequate maintenance- Fourth benefit realized with the PPP
model involves the creation of long-term solution for the provision of public interest structure

1
6
through addressing issues such as poor construction quality and inadequate maintenance
indeed if you are responsible for operating an asset for 20 years you will make sure that the
asset is built properly similarly if your payment will payment will your payment will be
withheld if the Asset fails to meet the performance standards then you will be sure to allocate
sufficient resources to asset maintenance.

5. Reduces the life cycle cost - PPP structure also create incentive to reduce the life cycle
cost of assets take our Highway example let's assume that there are two option to build the
road with the first option construction will be cheaper initially but maintenance cost will be
greater over the long term the second option may be more expensive in terms of construction
between have low maintenance cost over a long run in PPP project the private partner will
select option to because it integrates maintenance cost implication into the overall project
design and will be the cheapest alternative over the lifetime of the asset and key benefit of
PPP model relates to the transfer of risk to the private sector in transferring risk to the to the
to the private sector government finance and are protected that are often significant in
significant in often significant in significant in public infrastructure project.

Limitation of Public Private Partnership project-

1. Not suitable for all type of projects- Even in countries where PPP have been promoted
actively only a limited share a public projects has been pursued projects has been pursued
through this model

2. Do not work in factor with rapid chance- PPP do not work well in factors with Rapid
change suggest it but work better when there is a long-term predictable need of infrastructure
service the key question is this record is do you need the infrastructure to be serviceable for
the next 20 years if the answer is yes then PPP might be the solution.

1
7
3. Complex and high transaction cost- The structure complexity of PPP projects can create
High transaction cost the project must be big enough to justify such increase procurement
cost with this in mind some countries only consider the PPP model for project PPP model for
project with budget above a certain threshold just above a certain threshold for instance 20
million dollar.

5.Lack of capacity of local companies to deliver this type of project- The local company
may not be may not be capable to deliver this type of type of project local companies might
not be equipped to manage this risk related to a PPP project PPP can also be sensitive from a
political point of view the public mind feel that the government is giving too much or is being
too generous with private sponsors in addition the establishment of PPP might concede with
the introduction of the user pay principal which can create public discontent in light of this
strong political support is critical for the success of PPP project finally PPP structure can be
relative and flexible and poor at accommodating change for intense it might be costly for the
public sector to modify project specification while the project has been awarded.
