Toll ppt
- 1. TOLL ROAD PROJECTS IN INDIA The idea of “Toll based” highways was imported into India from experiences of others countries like Europe, Malaysia or North America. The model “Concession Agreement” was drafted by the Government to suit India needs. The toll categories of roads are those wherein there are sufficient traffic which can be tolled by the Concessionaire and recoup the investment made him and also make profit. In the event there are not enough tollable traffic to recoup the investment made, it will be offered on annuity basis or with VGP (Viability gap funding) by the government. The tolled based roads wherein the Government grants private developer specific rights to design, finance, construct operate and maintain the roads.
- 2. The developer called “Concessionaire” develops covers the investment costs and carry commercial risks At the end of the concessional period the road reverted back to government at no extra charges If the estimated revenue does not materialize during Concession period the Concessionaire may have to negotiate the concession period (as in other countries) which is yet to happen in India as we are just starting Concessionaire undertakes risks to constructs road which is generally divides normally into three parts:
- 3. Risk management in “Toll based” Concession Developmental risk : Land Acquisitions- the biggest risk faced by the Indian Financial Risk: Ability to raise the finance and make financial close as required by the Concession agreement. High interest rate during the currency of concession period (due to floating interest charged by lenders) – mitigation of this risk in extremely important). Construction risks: Poor performance of the contractor Different site condition High price escalation of all the inputs of construction
- 4. Operational risks: State support agreement Toll Level: the estimated toll level uncertainty during pre-bidding stages can lead to inaccuracies in revenue estimation The traffic volume projected in financial model may not materialize as it completely depends on economic growth projected during pre-bidding stage Any fall in traffic volume will automatically bring down the IRR value projected. Expert estimate that 10% drop in volume of traffic will result in reduction of 1-7% – 1.9% percent reduction in IRR. Toll fee: The price escalation of “toll/Fee” charged by the Concessionaire is based on all India WPI index. This is incorrect as in some states it may be very high. In my opinion there should be “Toll Regulator” on all India basis to regulate toll based on each state WPI or any other base model
