IRB Infrastructure Developers has become the first developer to seek the relief package cleared by the government recently for salvaging road projects stressed due to less-than-anticipated toll revenue or delays in clearances. The company has approached the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for rescheduling premium payments related to two of its stressed projects.
The company’s two projects include, Six-laning of the Ahmedabad-Vadodara (102 km) stretch and four-laning of the Tumkur-Chitradurga (114 km) stretch in Karnataka. The combined premium payments for FY15, which the firm wants postponed as per the Rangarajan formula, is Rs 430 crore. While the total value of the Ahmedabad-Vadodara project is Rs 2,226 crore, that of the Tumkur-Chitradurga project is Rs 839 crore.
The projected toll on the Ahmedabad-Vadodara stretch in FY15 is Rs 130 crore, while debt servicing cost is Rs 97 crore and operation and management cost Rs 17 crore. As per the contract, the company has to pay a premium of Rs 340 crore for FY15. This means if the Rangarajan formula is applied, the project will have a negative value of Rs 488 crore for the year.
IRB Infrastructure Developers undertakes development of various infrastructure projects in the road sector through several special purpose vehicles.
