Chap 1: Introduction

Project financing is an innovative and timely financing technique that has been used on
many high-profile corporate projects, including Euro Disneyland and the Eurotunnel.
Employing a carefully engineered financing mix, it has long been used to fund large-scale
natural resource projects, from pipelines and refineries to electric-generating facilities
and hydro-electric projects. Increasingly, project financing is emerging as the preferred
alternative to conventional methods of financing infrastructure and other large-scale
projects worldwide.

Project Financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project financing,
how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and raise the
funds. In addition, one must understand the cogent analyses of why some project
financing plans have succeeded while others have failed. A knowledge-base is required
regarding the design of contractual arrangements to support project financing; issues for
the host government legislative provisions, public/private infrastructure partnerships,
public/private financing structures; credit requirements of lenders, and how to determine
the project's borrowing capacity; how to analyze cash flow projections and use them to
measure expected rates of return; tax and accounting considerations; and analytical
techniques to validate the project's feasibility

Project finance is different from traditional forms of finance because the credit risk
associated with the borrower is not as important as in an ordinary loan transaction; what
is most important is the identification, analysis, allocation and management of every risk
associated with the project.

The purpose of this project is to explain, in a brief and general way, the manner in which
risks are approached by financiers in a project finance transaction. Such risk
minimization lies at the heart of project finance.

In a no recourse or limited recourse project financing, the risks for a financier are great.
Since the loan can only be repaid when the project is operational, if a major part of the

1


project fails, the financiers are likely to lose a substantial amount of money. The assets
that remain are usually highly specialized and possibly in a remote location. If saleable,
they may have little value outside the project. Therefore, it is not surprising that
financiers, and their advisers, go to substantial efforts to ensure that the risks associated
with the project are reduced or eliminated as far as possible. It is also not surprising that
because of the risks involved, the cost of such finance is generally higher and it is more
time consuming for such finance to be provided.

Project finance is the financing of long-term infrastaructure and industrial projects based
upon a complex financial structure where project debt and equity are used to finance the
project. Usually, a project financing scheme involves a number of equity investors,
known as sponsors, as well as a syndicate of banks which provide loans to the operation.
The loans are most commonly non-recourse loans, which are secured by the project itself
and paid entirely from its cash flow, rather than from the general assets or
creditworthiness of the project sponsors. The financing is typically secured by all of the
project assets, including the revenue-producing contracts. Project lenders are given a lien
on all of these assets, and are able to assume control of a project if the project company
has difficulties complying with the loan terms.

Generally, a special purpose entity is created for each project, thereby shielding other
assets owned by a project sponsor from the detrimental effects of a project failure. As a
special purpose entity, the project company has no assets other than the project. Capital
contribution commitments by the owners of the project company are sometimes
necessary to ensure that the project is financially sound. Project finance is often more
complicated than alternative financing methods. It is most commonly used in the mining,
transportation, telecommunication and public utility industries.

Risk identification and allocation is a key component of project finance. A project may be
subject to a number of technical, environmental, economic and political risks, particularly
in developing countries and emerging markets. Financial institutions and project sponsors
may conclude that the risks inherent in project development and operation are
unacceptable (unfinanceable). To cope with these risks, project sponsors in these

2


industries (such as power plants or railway lines) are generally completed by a number of
specialist companies operating in a contractual network with each other that allocates risk
in a way that allows financing to take place. The various patterns of implementation are
sometimes referred to as "project delivery methods." The financing of these projects must
also be distributed among multiple parties, so as to distribute the risk associated with the
project while simultaneously ensuring profits for each party involved.

Chap 2: AN OVERVIEW
2.1 Banking Sector
There have been major structural changes in the financial sector since banking sector
reforms were introduced in India in 1992. Since then Banks have been lending
aggressively providing funds towards infrastructure sector. Major policy measures
include phased reductions in statutory pre-emption like cash reserve and statutory
liquidity requirements and deregulation of interest rates on deposits and lending, except
for a select segment. The diversification of ownership of banking institutions is yet
another feature which has enabled private shareholding in the public sector banks,
through listing on the stock exchanges, arising from dilution of the Government
ownership. Foreign direct investment in the private sector banks is now allowed up to 74
per cent.

The co-existence of the public sector, private sector and the foreign banks has generated
competition in the banking sector leading to a significant improvement in efficiency and
customer service. The share of private and foreign banks in total assets increased to 31.5
per cent at end-March 2007 from 27.6 per cent at end-March 2006 and less than 10.0 per
cent at the inception of reforms.

• The nationalized banks have more branches than any other types of banks in
India. Now there are about 33,627 Branches in India, as on March 2005.
• Investments of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) also saw an increase from Rs
8,04,199 crore in March 2005 to Rs 8,43,081 crore in the same month of 2006.
• India's retail-banking assets are expected to grow at the rate of 18% a year over
the next four years (2006-2010).
• Retail loan to drive the growth of retail banking in future. Housing loan account
for major chunk of retail loan.

2.2.1 Rationale for the study
Offering credit is an operation fraught with risk. Before offering credit to an organization,
its financial health must be analyzed. Credit should be disbursed only after ascertaining
satisfactory financial performance. Based on the financial health of an organization,
banks assign credit ratings. These credit ratings are used to fix the interest rate and
quantum of installment.

This study aims to analyze the credit health of organizations that approach Union Bank of
India for foreign exchange credit facilities. After analyzing credit health, the credit rating
is determined. On the basis of credit rating, the interest rate guidelines circular is
consulted to fix a price for the credit facilities i.e. determine the interest rate.

2.2.2 Credit disbursement at Union Bank of India
This project was undertaken at the Industrial Finance Branch of Union Bank of India, at
the Credit Department. Financial requirements for Project Finance and Working Capital
purposes are taken care of at the Credit Department. Companies that intend to seek credit
facilities approach the bank. Primarily, credit is required for following purposes:-
1. Working capital finance

6


2. Term loan for mega projects
3. non fund based Limits Like Letter of Guarantee, Letter of Credit
Companies present audited balance sheets of the current and previous years. These are
used to determine the financial health, turnover trends and rise and fall of profitability.
Then credit rating is done.

The financial health and credit rating are theoretical methods for determining the right
interest rate. However, in practice, banks consider other factors such as history with
client, market reputation and future benefits with clients. Thus, a difference exists
between theory and practice.

2.2.3 Objectives of the project

 To assess the financial health of organizations that approach Union Bank of India for
credit for import export purposes. This would entail undertaking of the following
procedures:

 Analysis of past and present financial statements
 Analysis of Balance Sheet
 Analysis of Cash Flow Statements
 Examination of Profitability statements
 Examination of projected financial statements
 Examination of CMA data

 To assess the suitability of the company for disbursement of credit. This would involve
the following actions:
 Use of credit rating charts
 Evaluation of management risk
 Evaluation of financial risk
 Evaluation of market-industry risk
 Evaluation of the facility
 Evaluation of compliance of sanction terms

7


 Calculation of credit rating

 Determination of interest rate: This would entail the following sequence of actions.
 Collect data regarding financial health evaluation
 Noting down of credit rating
 Referencing the banks’ interest rate guidelines circular
 Choosing the interest rate from the circular on the basis of financial health and credit
rating

3.2 CREDIT REPORT AND CREDIT RATING

The credit report is an important determinant of an individual's financial credibility. They
are used by lenders to judge a person's creditworthiness. They also help the person
concerned to narrow down on the financial problem areas.
Credit report is a document, which comprises detailed information about the credit
payment history of an applicant. It is mostly used by the lenders to determine the credit
worthiness of an applicant. The business credit reports provide information on the
background of a company. This assists one to take crucial business related decisions.
People can also assess the amount of business risk associated with a company and then
decide whether they would be comfortable in providing them with credit facilities. The
degree of interest that would be shown by investors in their company can also be gauged
from the business credit reports as they can get an idea of the conception of their
customers regarding themselves. Since these records are updated at regular intervals of
time they enable people to identify the risk levels associated with a business as well as its
future. These reports also allow businesses to get detailed information about the financial
status of business partners and suppliers.

What Is A Corporate Credit Rating?

Ratings can be assigned to short-term and long-term debt obligations as well as securities,
loans, preferred stock and insurance companies. Long-term credit ratings tend to be more
indicative of a country's investment surroundings and/or a company's ability to honor its
debt responsibilities. . The ratings therefore assess an entity's ability to pay debts.
There are various organization who perform credit rating for various business
organization.
Union Bank of India follows a finely defined Credit Rating Model for assessing the
creditworthiness of the applicant. The credit rating model asses various aspects of the
projects and assigns scores against them thereby determining the risk level involved with
the project.
It is divided in Four Sections:

17


1. Rating of the Borrower
 Financial Risk
 Management Risk
2. Market Condition/ Demand Situation
3. Rating of the Facility
4. Business Consideration
5. Cash Flow related parameters

1) Rating of the Borrower: This part of credit rating model deals with assessing the
financial and managerial ability of the borrower. The financial ability of the firm is
derived by calculating ratios that determine the short term and long term financial
position of the firm
Short term ratios include Current Ratio, determines the liquidity position of the
company over a period of one year. The current ratio is an indication of a firm's market
liquidity and ability to meet creditor's demands. It is excess of current assets over current
liability. If current liabilities exceed current assets (the current ratio is below 1), then the
company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations. If the current ratio is too
high, then the company may not be efficiently using its current assets.
According to the guidelines given to UBI the ideal level is at 1.33:1 however the
acceptable level is at 1.17:1.
However at times current ratio may not be a true indicator, the current ratio for road
projects is very high but this does not indicate that the company is not using its assets
well but the ratio is high because the activity involves more in dealing with current assets.
Hence it is important for the evaluator to understand the nature of the industry.
Long term ratio include Debt Equity Ratio is a financial ratio indicating the relative
proportion of equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. This ratio is also known
as Risk, Gearing or Leverage. A high debt equity ratio is not preferable by an investor as
the company already has aquired high amount of funds from market thereby reducing the
investor share over the securities available, inreasing the risk.

18


It is aslo important for the lender bank to assess the firms debt paying capacity over a
period. Such capacity is derived by calculating ratio like Debt Serice Coverage Ratio
minimum acceptable level is 1.50.
It also necessary for the lender to determine the ability of the firm to achieve the
projected growth by evaluating the projected sales with actuals.However such parameter
remains non applicable if the business is new.

Finacial risk evaluation is oly one of the parameter and not thje only parameter for
determining the risk level. It is important to evaluate the Management Risk also while
evaluating the risk relaing to borrower.
It is the management of the company that acts as guiding force for the firm. The key
managerial personnel should bear the capacity to bail out the company frm crisis
situation. Inorder to remain competitive it is essential to take initiatives. Such skills are
developed over years of experience, thus for better performance it is required to have a
team of well qualified and expirienced personnel.

2) Market potential / Demand Situation
A Company does not operate in isolation there are various market forces that acts in
either favourable or unfavraouble manner towards its performance. Thus the rating would
not give true picture if does take market or demand situation in consideration.
The demand supply situation / market Potential plays an important role in determining
the growth level of the company like
i) Level of competition : monolpoly , favourable , unfavourable
ii) seasonality in demand : affected by short term seasonality, long term seasonality or
may not be affected by seasonality in demand.
iii)Raw Material Availablity:
iv)Locational Issues like proximity to market, inputs, infratstructure: Favourable,
neutral, unfavourable.
v)Technology ie, proven Technology- not to be changed in immeditate future,
technology undergo change, outdated technolgy.
vi)Capacity utilisation

19


3)Rating of the Facility:
The company can start functioning only after completing statutary obligations laid down
by the governing authority. Such statutary obligation involves obtaining licenses, permits
for ensuring smooth operations. Perparation and Submission of Finacial Statements,
Stock statements in the standard format within the given time schedule.

4)Business Consideration:
The length of relationship with the bank enables the lender to assess the previous
performance of the account holder. A good track record acts in the favour of the
applicant, however a under perfomance make the lender more vigiliant.
The income value to the bank also given due consideration.

Thus Credit Rating of the Business takes into consideration various aspects that directly
or indiretly bears an effects the performance of the business.
After evaluating the risk level involved the lender bank decided on lending Interest Rate.
In UBI they are catagorised in 9 segements
1. lowest Risk CR-1
2. Low Risk CR-2
3. Medium Risk CR- 3
4. Moderate/ Satisfatory Risk CR- 4
5. Fair Risk CR- 5
6. High Risk CR- 6
7. Higher Risk CR- 7
8. highest risk CR- 8
9. NPA CR- 9
In UBI, a business receiving Credit Rating above level 6 are not considered good from
point of investment and thus are avoided.

20


3.3 DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE

The interest rate is determined from the interest rate guidelines circular. This
circular is regularly updated to reflect the bank’s latest credit policies. The rupee
credit is based on BPLR and the foreign exchange loans are based on LIBOR.

The guidelines define how much interest rate is to be assigned for a particular credit
rating and credit duration. However, credit rating and its use in determining interest
rate is a theoretical concept and the bank may allow a reduction in interest rate
under the following conditions:

 Good Client
The organization is a long term client and brings good business to the bank.
The organization’s actions show that it intends to become a long term customer of
the bank
 Banking Consortium
The organization is seeking credit from a consortium of banks. In some cases like
this, the lead bank might decide the interest rate and all the member banks of the
consortium follow this interest rate.

3.4 TERM SHEET
Following a favrouable feasibility check, credit rating the next step is preparing term
sheet . A Term Sheet is breif document that provides details on aspects like:
• Account Details
• Financial highlights for immediate previous two audited years and projection for
proceeding year
• Nature of Project
• Cost of Project
• Means of finace
1. Nature of Facility
2. Purpose

3. Tennure of Term Loan
4. Interest rate Reset
5. Margin
6. Interest Rate, Commission
 Door to Door Tenor ie.the period within which the entire amount I sto be
disbursed.
o Repayment Terms
o Prime Security
o Collateral Security
o Upfront fees ie the charges levied by the bank for processing the
documents.

3.5 PROPOSAL
An approved term sheet leads to preparation proposal. A proposal is prepared in standard
format, this enables the bank to keep a proper track record and also facilitates proper
comparision. A proposal a full fledged document providing details on project submitted

information on nature of securities given in lieu of the Loan.they are of two types Prime
securities, Collateral Secuties

22


Prime Securities: Pari Passu is a term used in banking transactions which means that the
charge to be created is in continuation of an earlier charge which might be held by the
same institution or by an other institution.

Collateral Securities: In lending agreements, collateral is a borrower's asset that is

similar to a Standby Letter of Credit, but are issued by an insurance company. A
Standby Letter of Credit is a form of insurance on an underlying agreement or
obligation (contract), insuring all parties to the contract against failure to perform or
pay on the part of one or another party to the contract. Standbys are issued by banks.

EVALUATION OF INDUSTRY
Thermal power stations constituting over 66% of the aggregate installed generation
capacity and despite being relatively less environment-friendly as compared to hydro-
electric projects (HEPs), thermal power plants offer certain advantages over HEPs as
mentioned below:
Lesser implementation time-frame: 2.5-3.5 years as compared to 5-6 years for HEPs;
Ability to function as base load power plants as compared to HEPs which serve as peak-
load power plants;
Standardized generation technology: independent of project site;
Absence of seasonal variations in power generation;
Location flexibility: Can be located either close to load-centre or at fuel pit-head while
HEPs are site-specific and often located in challenging geographical terrain.

Demand-Supply Scenario
Power supply position in the country has worsened over the last few years with growth in
power demand outstripping new capacity addition with peak power deficit being worst
having peak deficit of 13.5% in 2006-07. The energy deficit at the national level has
increased from 7.5% in 2003-04 to 9.9% in 2006-07

• Projected Power Requirement beyond 2011-12 till 2021-22
With rapid growth of the economy, power requirement is projected to increase
significantly over the next decade with per capita power consumption expected to
increase from ~612 kWh at present to about 1000 kWh by 2012 (GoI’s target for 100%
electrification).

33


• Given the prevalent demand supply deficit scenario and projected growth in
power requirement, huge addition in generation capacity is required in the country
over the coming decade. Consequently, there exists an attractive business and
market opportunity for establishment of power generation plants in the country,
especially in the northern & western regions of the country.

Target States for Power Sale
In view of the adverse power deficit scenario in western and northern region as
mentioned in the previous sections, both these regions have been identified as target
markets for ultimate sale of JKL Pvt. Ltd power.

35


Scenario Avg. DSCR Min. DSCR Project IRR*
Increase in Interest rate by 1% for 1.54 1.34 15.6 %
both Senior debt & Subordinated
debt

Interpretation
Project is able to withstand the operations at a lower tariff and its debt servicing capacity
(Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33) is satisfactory.

Increase in Primary Fuel price by 5%
Sensitivity has also been carried out for increase in the fuel prices by 5% over the base
case numbers. The Project is able to sustain the increased fuel cost and its debt servicing
capacity remains satisfactory with an average DSCR of 1.58 and minimum DSCR of
1.37. The impact of any fuel price escalation on the projected financials is partly
mitigated on account of the pass-through effect in the power sale tariff applicable to
Gridco. It may however be noted that since most of the coal requirement for the Project
will be met from the captive coal block allotted to the company, the company will be able
to have a better control over the coal price thereby reducing it exposure to any escalations
in coal price.

Decrease in Plant PLF by 5%
Under the base case projections, the operations of the project have been projected at a
PLF of 80%. Sensitivity has been carried out for the scenario of the Project running at a
lower PLF i.e. 75%. It has been observed that the Project is able to withstand the
operations at a lower PLF and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.49, Min
DSCR: 1.29) is satisfactory. Considering the better operational performance of existing
IPPs in the country vis a vis state sector projects, the situation of a PLF lower than 80%
seems unlikely.

Increase in RTL Interest Rate by 1%
Sensitivity has also been carried out for increase in the RTL interest rate by 1% over the
base case interest rate of 11.5% for Senior debt and 13.5% for Subordinated Debt. It is

36


observed that the Project is able to sustain the increased interest costs comfortably and its
debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34) remains satisfactory.

As can be seen above, the debt serviceability of the project is comfortable adverse
sensitivities considered. Hence, it can be concluded that the proposed power project will
be able to withstand adverse circumstances and the debt serviceability is satisfactory,
even under adverse circumstances.
Decrease in Power Sale Tariff through PTC by 5% during Year 1-5
Under the base case projections, tariff for power sale to PTC has been maintained at Rs.
2.60 per kWh for Year 1-5 and Rs 2.34 per kWh for subsequent years. Sensitivity has
been carried out for the scenario of the power being sold at 5% lower than the base case
tariff i.e. Rs. 2.47 per kWh. As seen above, the Project is able to withstand the operations
at a lower tariff and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33)
is satisfactory.

Increase in Project cost by 5%
A sensitivity has been carried out for 5% increase in the works cost which have estimated
at Rs. 2294 crore in the base case. The Project is able to sustain a 5% escalation in capital
cost comfortably and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34)
remains satisfactory.

KEY POINTS:
1. Sensitivity analysis was done. The results of which are as follows:-
 When the power sale tariff to “PTC” ( PTC India Ltd) are decreased by 5% the
Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33 . This is above the benchmark level.
 When project cost is increased by 5% Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34.
This is above benchmark levels and is considered favourable.
 In case of increase in RTL Interest Rate by 1% the Average DSCR: 1.54, Min
DSCR: 1.34) remains satisfactory

37


 When the primary fuel prices increase by 5% the Average DSCR of 1.58 and
Minimum DSCR of 1.37 remains satisfactory.

As can be seen above, the debt serviceability of the project is comfortable when adverse
sensitivities considered. Hence, it can be concluded that the proposed power project will
be able to withstand adverse circumstances.

2. The profitability estimates are sensitive to fluctuation in sales.
3. The projected Debt Equity ratio and Current Ratio are at satisfactory level. As the
project implementation is yet to commence, offering any comments on financial
indicators would not be relevant at this juncture as the same would go on
changing.
4. According to internal credit rating, the company has been rated as CR-3.
5. Primary fuel requirements for the Project will be met with from the Coal linkage
from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) and Captive Mandakini coal block in
Talcher coalfields, Orissa .JKL Pvt. Ltd. will enter into separate long-term Fuel
Supply Agreements with the Mining JVC and MCL for supply of coal from the
captive block and coal linkage respectively, taken together would be adequate for
requirement of proposed 600 MW for its entire project life.
6. The company has already into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with Gridco
for sale of 25% of the power.
Company has also entered into HOA(Heads of Agreement) with PTC for sale of balance
75% power at reasonably attractive tariff.
7. Both Gridco and PTC would open LC in favor of JKL Pvt. Ltd for timely
payment of invoices.
8. Even with an increase of 1% in the interest rate, average & minimum DSCR are
comfortable.

29. Recommendations

38


JKL Pvt. Ltd. is being promoted by BCJ Group, implementing a 600 MW pit-head
coal-based power project in Angul district of Orissa. The project capacity is proposed
to be enhanced to 1200 MW through implementation of a second unit of 600 MW at a
later stage. Salient features of the proposed project, are as under:

1. Proven track record of promoters [JPL along with other group / investment
companies of BCJ group] - in running profitable business operations and adequate
financial strength to meet the equity requirements for the project;

2. Assured fuel at reasonable cost – fuel from allocated captive coal block adjacent
to project site along with additional long-term coal linkage from MCL.
Captive coal source will protect JKL Pvt.Ltd from fuel price fluctuations and make the
power cost competitive;

3. Significant progress in project development activities as under.
State support for land acquisition, water allocation and other developmental aspects of
the project secured through MoU; Section (4) notification for acquisition of land issued;
In-principle allocation of water sufficient to meet project requirements;
Grant of various project clearances / approvals, including TOR for EIA study
from MoEF, GoI;

4. Power off-take arrangement- Execution of PPA with Gridco for sale of 25%
project capacity and execution of HOA for sale of balance power through PTC.
Analysis of the project development structure and projected financial performance of the
Project, based on the information pertaining to the project cost, financing plan, and
prevalent market conditions while a sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to test
the robustness of project financial in respect of key business and performance parameters.
The projected financials of the project are reasonably comfortable under different
sensitivity scenarios as required to service the project debt over proposed tenor.
5. Based on the projected financials, sensitivity analysis and risks factors, SBI
Capital Markets has viewed the proposed project of JITPL, as financially viable.

39


SBICAP has further stated that keeping in view the proven credentials of the
project promoters, progress achieved in project development and projected
financial performance of the project, the project appears to be bankable and
accordingly, the proposal may be considered favorably for final sanction of RTL
and Subordinated debt.
In view of the above mentioned observations, recommended the following.
(Rs. in Crores)
Nature of Limit Amount
Existing Proposed Margin
Term loan Nil 300.00 25%
Interest shall be 11.50% p.a. floating for senior debt and 13.50% p.a for subordinate debt
payable monthly.

Conclusion

Credit Appraisal is a process of appraising the credit worthiness of loan applicants. The
funds of depositor’s i.e general public are mobilized by means of such advance /
investment. Thus it extremely important for the lender bank to assess the risk associated
with credit, thereby ensure the security for the funds deposited by the depositors.
In UBI the credit appraisal is done by thorough study of the project which involves
Following.
1) Evaluation of Management: A detailed study about the promoters
is carried out in order to ensure promoters are experienced in the
line of business and are capable to implement and run the project
2) Technical Feasibility: A detailed study about the technical
aspects is done to determine the technical soundness of the
project
3) Financial Viability: A detailed study relating to financial
viability of the project is done; thereby ensuring that project will
generate sufficient surplus to repay the lan installment and
interest
4) Risk analysis: it determines the risk associated with the project
this is done by performing a Sensitivity analysis and Credit
Rating. With Sensitivity Analysis the projects capacity to service
debts under worsened conditions is determined. Credit rating,
provides rating for various parameters like management,
financial, market and so, thereby determine the credit worthiness
of the borrower
5) It is on the basis of the credit risk level, collateral securities to be
given by the borrower are determined.
This shows Union Bank of India has sound system for credit appraisal.
