[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@RavneetBittu Very pertinent message. This country has faced so many such issues and have dealt with them, which needs to be made known.

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@Infra_VinayakCh Infra Contracts are Generational to go thru 4 or more Govts -Confidence of Pvt Sector Investors & Stakeholders necessary -For enabling their Trust in the system, Necessary for Holistic Infra Law to Protect Interest of all Stakeholders -Exists in many nations & High Time for India

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@Infra_VinayakCh A sound Option to ensure Productive Utilization of Asset Mon Proceeds is to Ring fence it in form of an AM Fund only to be strictly Used for creating Income generating Assets and Activities - If utilized for Unproductive or Consumption expenses, this AM Strategy would be in peril

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@Infra_VinayakCh Asset Monitization is a sound resource strategy - only Main Safeguard to be ensured is that Utilization of proceeds to be in Productive Infra Capacity Generation with sound Income Earning potential- & Not in Unplanned Expenses (which may defeat the main purpose)

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@Infra_VinayakCh In view of long term nature of concessions, time for holistic Infra Law (including regulatory framework) for ensuring a sound & healthy infra eco system - Protect interests of Promoters, Investors, Developers, Lenders & others in system - Needed to boost Stakeholder Confidence

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

@Infra_VinayakCh Truly laudable mission - However a sustainable revenue model necessary - Or initial employment of HAM model will help in attracting private capital & boost the mission - Other option is to securitize some receivables of Govt to fund such projects through debt

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

As need for Private investments into #infrastructure sector increases, it is perhaps time for a National Law on PPPs as already extant in some nations @businessline
@PMIndiaOffice

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Govt Funding aptly followed by Asset Monitization will lead to Self Sustained Infra Creation & Development -Need larger push for bringing revenue earning assets operated by PSUs in other sectors as well @Official_SecDFS @PMIndiaOffice

[Vinayak Chatterjee @Infra_VinayakCh]

👇 Good to see Asset Monetisation underway with an enthusiastic set of bidders.

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

As the urgency for transition into a developed high income economy stares at us, there is need for a National PPP Law (like some nations) with authoritative framework for Pub & Pvt sector stakeholders - to restart pvt investments into infra sector @Official_SecDFS @PMIndiaOffice

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

"TBTF" echos era of "Large FIs with Large Asset Size" -But, Returns on Assets (& Equity) is hallmark of new Mkt Oriented Business Culture -Question "Does Asset Size matter? -"None TBTF" in weaker Reg & Supervisory mileu -Sec Mkt Dev is a soln @Official_SecDFS @DebasishPanda87

[Vinayak Chatterjee @Infra_VinayakCh]

Suggest 👇 as mandatory reading for all those interested in infrastructure , PPP processes , public policy and project finance.

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Many Infra Sectors now coming with Concessions upto 10 years -Augurs Compatibility with Short to Medium term Yield Curve in Debt Market -Apt for Matching Lower Cost Medium Term 5-7 year loans @Official_SecDFS @Anurag_Office

[Vinayak Chatterjee @Infra_VinayakCh]

⛏ NITI Aayog Vice Chairman says its time to stimulate demand by spends on "short - gestation" infra projects. He's right. Lets get started - rural roads & drainage , drinking water connections , minor irrigation works, public buildings .... can a list be readied districtwise ?

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Farm to Fork model, now combined with opportunities to Process & Value Add is the comprehensive Agri Strategy India has been lookin forward to -Today Managing Surplus is critical -Offers Good Scope for Processing Industries -Good for Make, Process & Value Add in India

[Vinayak Chatterjee @Infra_VinayakCh]

🌽 Whilst the political arena is abuzz on Agri Sector , Corporate Strategy groups have begun a deep-dive on investment opportunities these reforms usher in : cold-chains , pvt mandis ( physical & online ), storage & sorting/grading centres et al. Rural economy now in sharp focus.

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Agri Production -Emerging Challenge is to Manage Surplus -Huge boost to Rural Infra necessary for effective "Farm to Fork" Supply Chain -Pertinent to focus on Agri Processing for Value Additions & Exports - 🔼Income, 🔼Employment & 🔼Rural Economy

[Vinayak Chatterjee @Infra_VinayakCh]

🌽 Mera gaon mera desh ! With record ⬆️ of 44% in crop sowing area this kharif season, all expectations on agriculture sector to revive demand . Even core sector producers like steel and cement are talking of 'rural demand pull.' Tractors, fertilizers, pesticides, et al hugely ⬆️

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Regulatory Framework needs to recognize Refinance as a Sustainable Option for better Project Viability -Pertinent that Lenders extend finance in tune with their liability profiles

[Jaishankar PR @Jaishankar_PR]

Banks & IFCs best suited for taking Construction Risk -On Project Completion, Refinance is a Wise Option (either by a Lender or Bond Market) -Best Sustainable Option & Globally well accepted Fin Architecture -Suits well in existing Indian Institutional and Market framework
