Crisil estimates India’s infra funding need to be Rs 8.6 lakh crore per year for next five years

16 Nov 2016 Evaluate

The rating agency, Crisil in its latest report has said that India’s infrastructure funding requirement is very huge, it estimated that the country will require Rs 43 lakh crore over the next 5 years, which is Rs 8.6 lakh crore per year. As per the report, the sectors such as power, transportation and urban infrastructure will be requiring 70% of the Rs 43 lakh crore. The report further said that power generation (thermal and renewable) will continue to account for the largest share of the investments, followed by transmission, whereas in the transportation sector, investments will be driven towards building national highways and state roads.

The report further stated that given the issues of asset-liability mismatches and group exposure regulations of the Reserve Bank of India, banks alone cannot fulfill the needs. Banks will also need to raise large amounts of equity capital at a time when their profitability has diminished, which in turn, reduces their ability to raise capital through internal accrual. It said that there is a strong need for innovative structures and credit enhancement mechanisms, which reduce the risk in infrastructure projects and make them more palatable to investors.

Crisil said that it believed almost three-fourth of investment (73 percent) will be funded through debt, with banks remaining the largest source of finance (48 percent). It added that following the Reserve Bank of India's easing of norms, external commercial borrowings are expected to be another large source of funds (16.5 percent of debt) with nearly Rs 5.2 lack crore expected to flow in through this route. The balance Rs 11.2 lakh crore 36 percent of debt) is expected to come through bond issuances.
