PAST WORK​


• Client is present in road construction business since 2005 and till now has had a regional presence in Gujarat & Maharashtra. It had been executing EPC for state road projects awarded by the PWD and State Authority ie MSRDC.

• As it gained expertise and improved its qualification parameters, the client ventured into National highway construction under the BOT HAM model of NHAI.

• Since these were of much larger size with considerably larger project cost, the company encountered challenge in obtaining financial closure for these projects. Concerns included its limited track record in NHAI projects, credit rating was not top notch (not in A category) and there was banker reluctance in addition due to sector and Covid slowdown.

• We structured the funding of Rs 480 Crs and Rs 710 Crs respectively for two newly awarded HAM projects. The strengths of the client were highlighted and the bankers’ concerns were properly addressed by suitable mitigants that were baked into the deal structure.

• We were successful in arranging funding tie-up for these prestigious road projects under Hybrid Annuity Model of NHAI. These were packages of the Delhi Mumbai Expressway Corridor and carry immense national significance in the infrastructure financing space/

• Guidance was also provided to the client on its credit rating from Crisil viz. how to present justification for an upgrade and to back it with rationale viz improvement in credit profile and the demonstrated execution capabilities in road sector. 

CASE STUDY ONE

CASE STUDY TWO

  • Client is Indian Private sector Bank since 2014 which facilitates infrastructure finance as per the RBI guidelines.

  • We structured the funding of Rs. 1000 crores for issuance of Basel III complaint Tier II Bonds.

  • For the above funding, we assisted the Bank in preparation of requisite documents which were crucial for the deal and also referred eligible investor.

  • We coordinated with the Bank on a regular basis, so as to minutely track the improvements and address the bottleneck well within the time frame so as to achieve the common purpose.

  • We even advised and engaged with the Bank to an extent possible in order to resolve stressed asset, so as to meet the end goal.

  • We were the pillar, who stood to the ground and delivered even when the global economy was in the recovery stage of Post COVID-19.
