    State of the Industry

    As per the Economic Survey or 2010-11, while the

    overall investment in inrastructure seemed to be on

    target, the targets in some sectors were achieved.

    During 2007-08 to 2009-10, capacity addition was

    lower than the target in power, roads (NHDP), new

    railway lines, and doubling o railway lines. The sub-

    sectors where achievements have been above or closeto target are telecommunications, villages electried

    under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana,

    railway lines electrication, railway gauge conversion,

    and new and renewal o roads construction under

    the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. There has

    been a steady decline in the time and cost overruns o

    Central-sector projects costing which can be attributed

    to closer monitoring and system improvements by the

    Ministries concerned.

    A key initiative taken by the Government o India

    during the past year pertained to setting up o the

    National Transport Development Policy Committee

    in February 2010. The committee has been set up to

    assess transport requirements o India or the next

    two decades and to recommend a comprehensive

    and sustainable policy or meeting the requirements.

    It is headed by Dr. Rakesh Mohan, and comprises

    21 members, including Secretaries o Ministries like

    Urban Development, Road Transport & Highways, Civil

    Aviation, Ministry o Shipping, Financial Services, Coal,Power, Petroleum & Natural Gas and the Chairman

    o the Railway Board, as well as representatives rom

    the private sector. The committee will assess the

    transport requirements o the economy or the next

    two decades and recommend a comprehensive and

    sustainable policy or meeting the transport require-

    ments. It will also review the Public-Private-Partnership

    approach in operation currently and suggest modica-

    tions, i required.

    The real estate sector witnessed signicant revival in

    the last year. According to the data released by the

    DIPP, housing and real estate sector including cineplex,

    multiplex, integrated townships and commercial

    complexes etc., attracted a cumulative FDI worth

    $ 9,072 mn rom April 2000 to October 2010 andapprox. $ 716 mn during April-October 2010.

    Key announcements / changes to policy

    analysis

    Budget allocations and plan or und mobilizations

    or inrastructure sector

    For Financial Year 2011-12, an allocation o over

    `2,14,000 crore is proposed to be made or inra-

    structure sector, which is 23.3 per cent higher than

    allocation in FY 2010-11.

    To enhance fow o unds to the inrastructure sector,

    the FII limit or investment in corporate bonds,

    with residual maturity o over ve years issued by

    companies in inrastructure sector, is proposed to be

    raised by $20 bn, resulting in an aggregate limit o

    $40 bn. Since most o the inrastructure companies

    are organised in the orm o SPVs (separate SPV or

    each concession / license), it also proposed to permit

    FIIs to invest in unlisted bonds o such SPVs with aminimum lock-in period o three years. However, FIIs

    will be allowed to trade amongst themselves during

    the lock-in period.

    Budget 2011 proposes to allow tax ree bonds o

    `30,000 crore to be issued by various Government

    undertakings in the year 2011-12. This includes Indian

    Railway Finance Corporation `10,000 crore, NHAI

    `10,000 crore, Housing And Urban Development

    Corporation Ltd `5,000 crore and Ports `5,000 crore.

    Budget 2011 also proposes to create Special Vehicles

    in the orm o notied inrastructure debt unds. The

    proposed tax mechanisms have been claried in the

    Finance Bill. However, appropriate ramework will

    need to be introduced to implement the same.

    Budget allocations and plan or und mobilizations

    or aordable housing sector

    To provide housing nance to targeted groups in rural

    areas at competitive rates, Budget 2011 proposes to

    enhance the provision under Rural Housing Fund to

    `3,000 crore rom the existing `2,000 crore.

    To stimulate growth in housing sector, it is proposed

    to provide interest subvention o 1% on housing loans

    up to `15 lakh where the cost o the house does not

    exceed `25 lakh, rom the present limit o `10 lakh

    and`20 lakh respectively.

    The existing housing loan limit or dwelling units under

    priority sector lending is proposed to be enhanced

    rom `20 lakh to `25 lakh, to actor increase in prices

    o residential properties in urban areas.

    Inrastructure status to cold storage chains

    Recognising the increased momentum in cold storage

    sector and to attract investment, it is proposed tomake capital investment in the creation o modern

    storage capacity eligible or viability gap unding

    scheme o the Finance Ministry. It is also proposed to

    recognize cold chains and post-harvest storage as an

    inrastructure sub-sector.

    Inrastructure Finance Company

    In February 2010, RBI introduced a ourth category

    o NBFC viz. IFC, predominantly to represent NBFCs

    engaged in inrastructure nancing in view o the

    critical role played by them in providing credit to the

    inrastructure sector.

    IFC is dened to mean an NBFC which deploys at least

    75% o its total assets in inrastructure loans. An IFC

    should have net owned und o `3 bn or more, anda minimum Tier I capital o 10% and capital reserve

    adequacy ratio o 15%. Concentration limits or IFC

    are relaxed to 10%/15% (o owned und) to any single

    borrower/group o borrowers; 5%/10%, o aggregate

    o loans and investments, to any single party/ group

    o parties.

    Amendments to NBFC Directions would enable IFCs

    to provide a higher credit acility to borrowers in the

    inrastructure sector. The relaxation takes into account

    the need to und large capital requirements entailed in

    development, operations and maintenance o an inra-

    structure project. Above relaxation would encourage

    banks to take exposures to IFCs as the banks would

    be assured o minimum A grade quality at the time o

    disbursal o unds.

    Combined eect o above measures would lead to

    additional unds being made available to projects in

    inrastructure sector through non-banking channels.

    Liberalization to avail ECB by IFCs

    As per the ECB policy, NBFCs categorized as IFCs by

    RBI were permitted to avail o ECB or on-lending to

    inrastructure sector under approval route subject to

    satisaction o prescribed conditions. In May 2010,

    the ECB guidelines were modied to permit IFCs

    to avail ECB up to 50% o their owned unds under

    automatic route subject to compliance with the

  • 8/6/2019 Infrastructure Post Budget Analysis1

    4/16

    4

    prudential guidelines; ECBs above 50% o their

    owned unds will continue to be considered under

    the approval route.

    This amendment now enables an IFC to leverage

    on interest rate dierentials by borrowing rom the

    overseas markets at lower interest rates.

    ECB or takeout fnance

    In view o the peculiar unding needs o inrastruc-

    ture sector, RBI introduced the take-out nancing

    arrangement through ECB or renancing o rupee

    loans availed rom the domestic banks. This

    arrangement is permitted under approval route,

    to the eligible borrowers only in the sea port and

    airport, roads including bridges and power sectors

    or the development o new projects, subject to

    certain conditions.

    This scheme has provided an option to substitute a

    domestic unding with ECB ater commencement o

    commercial operations. This would be encouraging

    or overseas lenders as they are likely to be more

    condent in lending to stabilized projects. This also

    enables inrastructure projects to reduce their cost o

    operations by renancing at more competitive rates.

    - 3 axle vehicles separated rom Multi-Axle Vehicle (MAV) category and base toll rate has been reduced

    rom `3.45/km to `2.40/km

    - Bypasses treated as a separate category and do not orm part o structures (such as bridges andtunnels) in calculation o toll; the toll rate or bypasses is 1.5 times o the standard base toll rate on a

    per passenger car unit (pcu)/km basis while it was earlier indexed to the estimated project cost (on Rs/

    vehicle/trip basis).

    The amendments have reduced the protability o Concessionaires as net revenue has decreased. Moreover,

    this may lead to an increase in viability gap unding / grants provided by NHAI as projects will now require

    more equity support. However, it needs to be noted that at the macro level, the amendments will benet

    the transportation industry as there will be a reduction in operating costs.

    not achieved, as tangible securities subject to the condition that banks right to receive annuities and

    toll collection rights is legally enorceable and irrevocable.

    - Inrastructure loan accounts classied as sub-standard will attract a provisioning o 15% instead o the

    current prescription o 20%. To avail o this benet o lower provisioning, banks should have in place

    an appropriate mechanism to escrow the cash fows and also have a clear and legal rst claim on such

    cash fows.

    It is expected that these proposals will reduce the overall cost o unding and create additional liquidity in

    the market. There would be a reduction in interest rates, improvement in credit rating, leverage and loan

    However, simply relaying o an existing road would not be classiable as a new inrastructure acility or

    this purpose. The circular has a positive impact on the Roads & Highways sector as it provides clarity on

    the applicability o tax benets or road projects involving the addition o new lanes.

    rom 1 June 2011.

    In order or this initiative to be made eective,

    the Government should now complement the

    above with appropriate amendments in the regu-

    latory ramework o SEBI, RBI and FDI guidelines.

    Extension o sunset or power sectorDeduction under section 80IA or undertakings

    operating in the power sector has been extended

    by one year to 1 April 2012. Power has seen

    heightened investment activity in the recent

    past and this proposal is in line with the industry

    expectation or the sector.

    Tax deduction to power undertakings

    commencing operations in Financial Year 2011-12

    would now be grandathered under the DTC.

    Investment linked deduction in respect o

    capital expenditure on housing projects

    The Finance Bill, 2011 proposes to introduce

    investment linked deduction or capital expendi-

    ture incurred or developing an aordable

    housing project under a scheme ramed by the

    Central/State Government and notied by CBDT.

    This provision is proposed to be eective rom

    Financial Year 2011-12.

    The above proposal may not have signicant

    impact on developers o housing projects as the

    residential units are normally treated as stock-in-

    trade and thereore, the construction expenditure

    is normally treated as revenue expenditure.

    Applicability o DDT and MAT provisions or

    SEZ developers

    The Finance Bill, 2011 proposes to subject SEZ

    developers to MAT and DDT provisions.

    The provisions in relation to DDT are proposed

    to take eect rom 1 June 2011 while the MAT

    provisions would take eect rom 1 April 2012.

    The above proposal refects the Governmentsintent to rationalize tax benets to SEZ developers

    by bringing the current Income Tax Act in sync

    with the proposals in Direct Taxes Code. The

    proposal will have the eect o increasing the tax

    base or the Government. However it will reduce

    the overall project returns or SEZ developers.

    Removal o anomaly in set o losses o hotels

    and hospitals

    Currently, new hotels (2 star and above) and new

    hospitals (with minimum 100 beds) (Specied

    Business) are eligible or investment linked

    deduction or capital expenditure incurred.

    Further, set o o losses o the Specied

    Business is permitted only against prots o

    another Specied Business. Owing to the deni-

    tion o Specied Business, which states that the

    business should be new, there were ambiguities

    on set o o losses o such businesses.

    To clariy the ambiguities, the denition oSpecied Business is positively amended by

    removing the condition requiring such hotels and

    hospitals to be new. This amendment will apply

    retrospectively rom Financial Year 2010-11.

    Extension o time limits or Inrastructure Bonds

    The Finance Bill, 2011 proposes to extend the

  • 8/6/2019 Infrastructure Post Budget Analysis1

    11/16

    Inrastructure and Real Estate in India Post Budget Analysis: Insight at a glance | 11

    time limit or deduction in respect o long term

    inrastructure bonds by one year to 31 March

    2012.

    This will provide additional time to the

    Government to mobilize retail unds or inra-

    structure projects.

    MAT rate

    The Finance Bill, 2011 proposes to increase

    the MAT rate rom existing 18% to 18.5%.

    However, ater considering the proposed

    reduction in surcharge rom 7.5% to 5%, there

    is no substantial change in the eective MAT

    rate.

    Submission o statement by Liaison Ofces

    The Finance Bill, 2011 proposes to introduce

    a requirement or Liaison Oces set up in

    India whereby every non-resident having a

    Liaison Oce in India and set up in accordance

    with RBI guidelines, shall prepare and submit

    a statement o its activities in such orm as

    may be prescribed, every nancial year to the

    This would be an additional compliance orliaison oce set up by overseas inrastructure

    structure sector to carry out project manage-

    ment activities.

    The time limit or submitting such statement

    would be within sixty days o end o the

    is no clarity rom the Government on the levy

    o value added tax / service tax on purchase o

    property.

    Budget 2011 has continued to place importance

    on the criticality o inrastructure or Indias

    development. The tax and other plan proposals

    usher in with variety o measures like enhancing

    fow o unds to the sector by introduction o

    inrastructure debt und coupled with a tax

    riendly treatment, increase in FII limit o invest-

    ment in inrastructure sector, increasing time limit

    or investment in inrastructure bond, noteworthy

    budget allocations, etc. These refect the thrust

    placed by the Government on the inrastructure

    sector. It is evident that government is looking at

    private investments to boost the sector as well as

    public-private partnership or quality and timely

    completion o projects. Overall, the tax and policy

    landscape or inrastructure sector in India or the

    coming year 2011-2012 is expressly optimistic.
