India’s New Infrastructure Institution Plans Debut $610 Million Bond- Key Points

  • NaBFID, as the infrastructure-focused lender is called, plans to leverage the government’s equity capital to the extent of three or four trillion rupees through the issuance of Tier-1 and Tier-2 bonds, among others.
  • India’s depleting infrastructure requires nearly $1 trillion in financing by 2025 and is a keystone of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agenda to accelerate economic growth.
  • In the latest budget, the government proposed raising capital spending by a third to 10 trillion rupees, which will boost NaBFID’s agenda.
  • The institution will tap pension funds and insurance companies to raise funds and aims to finance the capital needs of various sectors including energy and transmission, airports, ports, and urban infrastructure.
  • NaBFID plans to disburse between 100 billion to 150 billion rupees of loans from a pipeline of 500 billion rupees worth of projects in the next quarter.
  • The lender was created with an initial capital of 200 billion rupees and a grant of 50 billion rupees through the Indian government’s 2021 budget to finance and “crowd in” capital into the country’s infrastructure projects.
