The government has announced a package of measures to revive the construction sector, putting in place a mechanism to release funds stuck in arbitration awards to revive stalled projects, and promised a scheme to address stressed loans in the sector.
Under the new arrangement approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, government agencies would pay 75 per cent of the arbitral award amount to an escrow account against margin free bank guarantee in those cases where the award is challenged.
The 75 per cent amount released into an escrow account will have to be spent by the contractor in completing the project and in discharging the bank and financial institutions' dues, according to the rules. The move will help construction companies complete stranded infrastructure projects while lenders will see their loans serviced.
