Malaysia seeks 'drastic' price cut in $20 bn China backed rail link projectMalaysia's new government has axed a high-speed rail line to Singapore because it is too costly and is reviewing other large infrastructure projects financed by ChinaAP/PTI | Kuala Lumpur Last Updated at July 3, 2018 13:11 IST

Malaysia's government has said a major China-backed rail link project can only be viable with a "drastic" price reduction by the Chinese contractor as the actual cost of the venture is 81 billion ringgit ($20 billion).

The 688 kilometre (430 miles) East Coast Rail Link is a key part of China's regional Belt and Road infrastructure initiative. It would connect Malaysia's west coast to rural eastern states. It is largely financed by China and the main contract was awarded in 2016 to the China Communication Construction Company, or CCCC, by former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who was defeated in May 9 elections.

Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said the project final cost, which is nearly 50 per cent higher than that estimated by the previous government, includes land acquisition, interest, fees and other operational costs. The 81 billion ringgit doesn't include operating costs, he said.

343 infra projects show cost overrun of Rs 2.16 trn over delays: Report

Of the 1,304 projects, 343 reported cost overrun and 262 times escalationPress Trust of India | New Delhi Last Updated at July 1, 2018 14:01 IST

As many as 343 infrastructure projects, each worth Rs 1.5 billion or above, have shown cost overrun of Rs 2.16 trillion owing to delays and other reasons, a report said.

It has also been observed that "project agencies are not reporting revised cost estimates and commissioning schedules for many projects, which suggests that time/cost overrun figures are underreported", according to the report.

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation monitors infrastructure projects worth Rs 1.5 billion and above.

"Total original cost of implementation of the 1,304 projects was Rs 16.21 trillion and their anticipated completion cost is likely to be Rs 18.38 trillion, which reflects overall cost overruns of Rs 2.16 trillion (13.36% of original cost)," The ministry's latest report for February 2018 said.

Of the 1,304 projects, 343 reported cost overrun and 262 times escalation.

According to the report, the expenditure incurred on these projects till February 2018 is Rs 6.36 trillion, which is 34.60 per cent of the anticipated cost of the projects.

While 14 projects are ahead of schedule, 307 are on schedule, 262 are delayed, 343 projects are showing cost overrun and 100 projects are showing both time and cost overrun with respect to original implementation schedules, the report said.

However, it said the number of delayed projects decreased to 222 if the delay is calculated with reference to latest revised schedules of completion.

"For 721 projects, where original/anticipated commissioning date has not been reported, all concerned have been requested to provide the original/anticipated commissioning date so that these projects can be monitored for completion vis-a-vis the targeted dates," the report said.

Of the 262 delayed projects, 53 projects have an overall delay in the range of 1 to 12 months, 55 projects (13-24 months), 83 projects (25-60 months) and 71 projects (61 months and above).

The report attributes the time overrun to a host of issues, including delay in land acquisition, forest clearance, supply of equipment, fund constraint, Maoist incursion, legal cases and law and order situation.

The brief reasons for time overruns as reported by various project implementing agencies are delay in land acquisition, delay in forest clearance, delay in supply of equipment, fund constraints and geological surprises, among others.

Asian Infra Investment Bank to pump in $1.9 bn into various Indian projects"We have another $ 1.9 billion for Indian projects in the pipeline," vice-president and corporate secretary Danny Alexander told.Press Trust of India | Mumbai Last Updated at June 20, 2018 22:01 IST

Ahead of the annual meeting of its board of governors here next week, a senior official from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) on Wednesday said it will pump $1.9 billion into various Indian projects.

The country, the second largest shareholder in the Beijing-headquartered lender, is already the largest borrower accounting for commitments to the tune of $ 1.2 billion of the overall $ 4.5-billion committed so far.

"We have another $ 1.9 billion for Indian projects in the pipeline," vice-president and corporate secretary Danny Alexander told PTI here.

He said the project pipeline includes an investment in the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF), the Mumbai Metro, major irrigation and flood management projects in Bengal, making of Andhra's new capital city Amravathi, and two more projects in Andhra focused on rural roads and urban water supply.

The projects to which the $ 1.2 billion have been committed include a rural connectivity project in MP, Bengaluru Metro, power transmission in Tamil Nadu, rural roads in Gujarat, the power-for-all project in Andhra and a $ 150 -million investment in an infrastructure fund floated by Morgan Stanley, Alexander said.

When asked if the any of these projects will get finalised at the next week's annual meeting, he replied in the negative, saying the bank's directors take a call on the lending proposals and not the governors, which include the finance ministers of all shareholder states.

Alexander said the forthcoming annual meeting, which is the third in its history and the first being held in the country, will concentrate on getting the private sector to play a more active role in funding the infrastructure needs of their respective nations, adding the resources available at AIIB's command may not be sufficient to address such needs.

"Infrastructure needs in India and the whole of Asia are so huge that they cannot be only met by the AIIB and by other multilateral agencies and governments," Alexander said.

To achieve the same objective, the summit will be having an Asian Infrastructure Forum, where the member governments will present projects to financiers and other experts for possible deals in the future.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending the meet being held on June 25-26 in the Nariman Point business district. Over 2,000 delegates from member- countries are expected to attend the two-day summit, which will have 22 seminars on dedicated topics.

A minister from the Chinese finance ministry is expected to represent the largest shareholder of the AIIB, while others attending the meet will include the British Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond and other ministers from member countries, he said.

The next annual meet of the body is set to be held in Luxemburg, Alexander said, adding non-Asian members have grown to 30, taking the overall memberships to 86 now.

Seeking to dispel misperceptions that is an alternative to the Bretton Woods Institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, he said the AIIB believes in collaborating with them and working together and not replacing or competing with them.

"We are a partner with the existing institutions and not trying to compete with them," Alexander said, adding a majority of its projects have World Bank or Asian Development Bank as co-financiers.

The AIIB is also interested in eventually taking equity in infra projects, he said, adding the investment in the Morgan Stanley fund is a precursor to the same.

With sovereign wealth funds and pension funds taking an increased interest in the country, he said the infra needs of the country are so high that it requires for infrastructure and the AIIB would like to "crowd-in" investments from other investors in projects.
