In general, project finance covers Greenfield Industrial Projects, capacity expansion at existing manufacturing units, construction ventures or other infrastructure projects. Capital intensive business expansion and diversification as well as replacement of equipment may be financed through the project term loans.
Project finance is quite often channeled through special purpose vehicles and arranged against the future cash streams to emerge from the project. The loans are approved on the basis of strong in-house appraisal of cost and viability of the ventures as well as the credit standing of promoters.
As many existing companies look to expand their business and their manufacturing facilities, the basic choices in financial options are "off-balance sheet" or "limited recourse" financings.
Our Project Finance Team is very experienced in counseling clients for evaluating structures to accomplish the desired goal. This experience in structured finance for industrial companies is an integral part of our finance practice.
We do this either through the traditional project finance model, industrial revenue bond financings, or through specialized leveraged leases or other structured equipment and facility financing.
