Project Financing in Energy & Infrastructure Sector CHALLENGES & OPPURTUNITIES Mission India needs humungous amount of project financing with the number of large projects at various stages. The projects include power projects, oil & gas projects, renewable energy projects and other large scale projects.

Knowing the risk of limited project finance, new methods of financing are developing in India. It helps in increasing expertise in project financing. Using advance skills provides practical knowledge in the field of project appraisal, financing and lending.

A project cannot proceed without adequate financing, and the cost of providing adequate financing can be quite large. For these reasons, attention to project finance is an important aspect of project management.

Finance is also a concern to the other organizations involved in a project such as the general contractor and material suppliers. Unless an owner immediately and completely covers the costs incurred by each participant, these organizations face financing problems of their own.

During planning and design, expenditures of the owner are modest, whereas substantial costs are incurred during construction.

Only after the facility is complete do revenues begin. In contrast, a contractor would receive periodic payments from the owner as construction proceeds. However, a contractor also may have a negative cash balance due to delays in payment and retainage of profits or cost reimbursements on the part of the owner.

The customization of project financing is being driven with the help of project finance consultants. Although, it can be obtained by the people across sectors the needs and requirement of the project may differ. So financing can be competitive yet complex and time consuming. However, repayment in such type of financing or lending may be a hitch because it depends on the success of a project and cash flow.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in design-build-operate projects in which owners prescribe functional requirements and a contractor handles financing.

Contractors are repaid over a period of time from project revenues or government payments. Eventually, ownership of the facilities is transferred to a government entity.

Hence, project financing may sound different from any other kind of financing or lending but in recent years, it has certainly become one of the core activities of banks.
