Mumbai Metro achieves financial closure

Special Correspondent

MMRDA will provide Rs.6500 Millions grant

Assets are not charged as security       

MUMBAI: Subject, a joint venture between Reliance Infrastructure, Franceâs Veolia Transport and Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA), on Saturday signed the loan agreements to raise debts totalling Rs.11940 Millions, and achieved the financial closure for the first line of Mumbai Metro Varsova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor.

Subject has raised the debt from a group of banks led by IDBI, Corporation Bank, Karur Vysya bank, Canara Bank, Indian Bank and Oriental Bank of Commerce. IIFCL (U.K.) is providing the foreign currency loan for the project. The project, being built at a cost of Rs.23560 Millions, will have a debt component of Rs.11940 Millions, while the equity is Rs.5120 Millions. MMRDA, the concessioning authority, will provide a capital grant Rs.6500 Millions.

The cost of borrowing for the rupee component, which constitutes about 75 per cent of the total debt, will be 12.25 per cent, while the foreign currency loan will be at 3.5 per cent above LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate).

“The debt has been raised amidst a tight global liquidity position, based on a unique funding model, where the only recourse available to the lenders is to the cash flow generated from the project instead of the project assets. The repayment has also been structured in a manner that gradually increases over a period in sync with the increasing traffic revenue generated by the project. This model of financing for an urban infrastructure project is first of its kind for most Indian banks and financial institutions,” stated a company release.

“The repayment model is also unique as for the first time the project’s assets are not charged to the lender as security,” said Mr. Maheshwari, Director.

“The project is ahead of schedule and is slated to be completed by July 2010.”

First Metro line clears funds hurdle

14 Oct 2008, 0602 hrs IST, Chittaranjan Tembhekar,TNN

 

MUMBAI: The city's first Metro line will not be mortgaged to banks. However, the 11 lakh commuters expected to use the Metro services daily are now being considered as the source for repayment of the Rs.11940 Millions loan taken from various financial institutions.


Announcing their action plan and a revised deadline for the first metro rail line between Versova and Ghatkopar via Andheri, subject on Monday said the route will be ready by September 2010, 18 months ahead of the deadline of March 10, 2012, earlier set according to the project agreement between the Reliance Energy and the state government.


"The project has achieved monetary support. They have tied up all the funds for different works to ensure speedy construction work,'' said director of company K P Maheshwari. According to him, this is the first metro line in the country to get all financial clearances from the banking institutions involved and the government agencies.

He added that the financial closure came in today after IDBI, Corporation Bank, Karur Vyasa Bank, Canara Bank, Indian Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce and IIFCL (UK), who have provided loans for the work, confirmed that the project had potential to generate funds just through passenger tariff.


The debt has been raised amid a tight global liquidity position, based on a unique funding model, where the only recourse available to the lenders is the cash flow generated from the project. The repayment has also been structured in a manner that gradually increases over a period of time in sync with the increasing traffic revenue generated by the project. This model of financing for an urban infrastructure project is first of its kind for most Indian banks and financial institutions, said Maheshwari.


Subject started work on the project in February this year. “Now our project will not get stopped for funds at least,” he said.


Subject is a joint venture between Reliance Infrastructure, Frances Veolia Transport and Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority. On Monday, they signed the loan agreements to raise debts totalling Rs.11940 Millions.

The project, being built at a cost of Rs.23560 Millions will have debt component of Rs11940 Millions. While the equity is Rs.5120 Millions, MMRDA will provide a capital grant Rs.6500 Millions.

 

More government share in Metro

14 Oct 2008, 0040 hrs IST,TNN

 

MUMBAI: The Mumbai Metro's third line from Colaba to Bandra, slated to cost Rs.120000 Millions, might be implemented on a new model in which the state government becomes a majority partener and has a greater say in the project as compared to the private partners.

Senior government officers said that the new model is based on the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation's (DMRC) arrangement with Reliance Infrastructure Limited for the new line that links New Delhi Railway station with the international airport at Palam.

If carried through, it will mark a departure from the model for the first line of the Mumbai Metro which is being done on the private public partnership (PPP) model in which the private company holds a majority stake. The second line is also scheduled to be built on this model.

Senior officials at Mantralaya pointed out that the new model will envisage the state government taking up construction of the pillars and the track of the railway line, while the private partener would take up the purchase of the rolling stock (rakes) and operate the line.

Officials estimate that the state government would spend 70% of the costs, leaving the private operator with a minor 30 per cent stake. Moreover, after operating the line for 30 to 35 years, the private party will hand it back to the government.

The first line of the Mumbai Metro, from Versova to Ghatkopar, expected to be ready in four years, is being implemented through a special purpose vehicle called Mumbai Metro One in which REL has the major stake with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and a French multinational Veolia holding the rest of the equity.

Both the first and second line, from Charkop to Bandra to Mankhurd, will be built by the special purpose vehicle and then operated for 35 years before being handed back to the government.

The discussion about changing the model follows close on the heels of senior officials of the state government having second thoughts about depending heavily on the private sector for running infrastructure pprojects.

"The Colaba-Bandra line will cost Rs.120000 Millions -- a high price -- as it is expected to be underground. It might not find many takers in the private sector as it is a huge cost,'' said officials. "So, it makes sense for the government to step in and try and increase its investment in the project,'' they said, pointing out that the model will help the government avoid viability gap fund that would burden the government exchequer.

In order to implement these strategies, MMRDA prepares plans, formulates policies and programmes and helps in directing investments in the Region.

MMRDA is the Nodal Agency for development of the Metro System in Greater Mumbai. It is also the Concessioning Authority for VAG Corridor, to provide Viability Gap funding to the SPV.

First metro line hits a roadblock in Andheri

MUMBAI: Work on the city's first Metro rail corridor between Versova and Ghatkopar via Andheri has once again hit a hurdle. Work on the project began in January after a delay of two years.

This time around, the Western Railway (WR) has asked the Reliance Energy-led implementing agency, the subject, to wait for a final clearance for the proposed line that is to be constructed above existing WR tracks near Andheri station. WR has stated that it will decide on the subject proposal only after receiving the feasibility report on its proposed elevated corridor between Churchgate and Virar.

C P Sharma, WR DRM, said, "The feasibility study for the elevated corridor project will take about six months (to be completed ). The process of appointing the consultancy is underway.'' According to Sharma, the laying of the Metro rail track above the existing WR tracks could hamper the proposed elevated track.

Interestingly, the WR had earlier given an in-principal nod to this metro corridor, which is nearly one-km long and falls between SV Road on the western-end of the Andheri station and the Agarkar Chowk towards the eastern end of the Andheri station.

Senior Reliance Energy officials said the general agreement drawings of the Metro have been with the WR for the last 10 months. "They are asking them to either go underground or seven metres above their proposed elevated track (that is, nearly 14 metres above the ground). Changing drawings and alignments at this stage may delay the project by a year,'' source said.

Meanwhile, MMRDA commissioner Ratnakar Gaikwad was confident that the row will be resolved amicably. "The WR had in-principal given its nod to the project.''
