Roads

Key Policy Developments

• Reportedly, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has begun consultations on offering major relaxations to highwaydevelopers suffering from stressed finances, while also seeking to attract more private investment by settling claims that have beenlong overdue.

• NHAI has been asked to expedite termination payment for cancelled contracts so that banks, largely public sector players, are able torecover their dues which are on the verge of turning into bad debt.

• The government is also considering to increase the interest on outstanding annuity payments to highway developers, as the bank rateshave decreased from 6.75 per cent per annum in February 2016, when the hybrid annuity model (HAM) was launched.

Government may offer relief to highway developers

• Amid the ongoing India-China tensions, MoRTH has announced that India will not allow Chinese companies to participate in highwayprojects, including those through joint ventures.

• According to the ministry, a policy will be out soon banning Chinese firms and relaxing norms for Indian companies to expand theireligibility criteria for participation in highway projects.

• Qualification norms for projects are being rationalised by the ministry to ensure Indian companies do not require entering into pactswith foreign partners to grab projects.

• With respect to existing tenders and future bids, MoRTH has asserted that rebidding will be done in case of any Chinese joint ventures.

India to ban Chinese companies from highway projects

• To make highway projects more financially viable, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) is planning to revamp theNational Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The ministry has reportedly asserted that the need of the hour is to devise bankableprojects suitable for the market with acute precision and accuracy.

Key Policy Developments

• Reportedly, MoRTH has planned to bid out more projects on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode. The ministryclaims that the number of companies which could arrange finance and take projects is much lower compared to EPC firms.

• According to the ministry, the current market conditions may not support build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects but the investorinterest level must be gauged.

• Besides, delay in financial closures on projects implemented on hybrid annuity model (HAM) has also encouraged MoRTH to focus onimpending projects on EPC mode and later monetise them.

MoRTH to bid out more projects on EPC mode

• In an effort to improve the quality of roads, NHAI has decided to undertake performance assessment and ranking of the highways inthe country. The assessment audit and ranking of the national highways is aimed to take corrective recourse, wherever needed, toimprove the quality and provide higher level of service to highway commuters.

• The assessment parameters are based on different international practices and studies for benchmarking highway performances inIndian context. The criteria for the assessment have been broadly categorised in three main heads namely, highway efficiency, highwaySafety and user services.

• Apart from overall ranking of all the corridors, separate ranking for BOT, HAM and EPC projects will also be done.

NHAI to rank roads for quality service

• NHAI has gone ‘fully digital’, with the launch of cloud-based and artificial intelligence-powered Big Data Analytics platform – Data Lakeand Project Management Software in view of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic.

• With advance analytics, the Data Lake software will forecast the delays, likely disputes, and will give advance alerts.

Key Policy Developments

• The central government has directed state governments to make MoRTH the ‘user agency’, in place of executing state agencies, to beable to get exemption from a clause that makes it mandatory to make available equal measure of non-forest land in exchange for forestland diverted for national highway projects.

• With this, MoRTH will now be eligible for the exemption granted under Forest Conservation Act (FCA) to central user agencies. Theseagencies have to comply with the other stipulation of doing compensatory afforestation on double the degraded forest land.

New norm approved by MOEFCC waives major clause for highway projects

Other Key Developments

• Following the notification of its COVID-19 related force majeure measure, NHAI is facing negotiations over several issues raised by roaddevelopers. Encashment of bank guarantees, non-payment of maintenance costs and lower estimation of revenue and expendituresare some of them.

• Reportedly, most of the 162 BOT (toll) concessionaires, including private equity players, have decided to take the arbitration route torecover about Rs 6.5 billion as interest and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs from NHAI for the 25-day toll collectionsuspension period.

• The concessionaires are allegedly upset with NHAI for not declaring the toll suspension period during the COVID-19 pandemic as a forcemajeure political event, and thus rescuing itself from compensating the loss to concessionaires on the O&M and interest costs.

• Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, fundraising plans for NHAI may be reworked by the central government. The government has alreadyformed a panel to rework financing for NHAI and may invite some unconventional ideas to optimise future investments by theauthority.

Other Key Developments

• The Delhi High court (HC) has issued a notice to Centre, RBI and NHAI on a plea seeking a onetime restructuring of loans by all banksand Nonbanking Finance Companies (NBFCs) to the petitioners in wake of the lockdown in the country and keeping in view the spreadof Covid-19.

• The plea seeks direction to allow a one-time restructuring of loans as a relief measure to the industries/ companies/ retail customers sothey are not classified under non-performing assets (NPA) after the lockdown is lifted.

• The plea also seeks direction to the respondents of extending the period of moratorium on payment of all term loans, and workingcapital facilities till the final disposal of the petition.

• The slow transmission of the RBI’s prescribed bank rate cuts in project lending rates will impact debt service coverage ratios inoperational HAM based projects, according to a note by ratings agency India Ratings and Research.

• Sluggish transmission in project’s interest rate was not originally envisaged by developers during the bidding stage and therefore mayalso impact their equity returns.

• While NHAI bound concessions receive grants on a timely basis, a concession grantor with a weak credit profile, late annuity paymentscombined with delayed transmission could pose a risk to HAM projects.

• NHAI plans to release monthly grants proportionate to the completion of project construction, and the agency believes this will have asalutary effect on the working capital requirements of developers.

• Expediting settlement of claims through conciliation, NHAI has settled claims worth Rs 133.49 billion for Rs 37.43 billion, since 2017-18.• In its endeavour for faster settlement of claims and reducing liabilities thereby, NHAI has rigorously started the process of conciliation

by constituting three Conciliation Committees of Independent Experts (CCIE) of three members each. Till date, about 108 cases havebeen referred to CCIE.

• An acute labour shortage has hit highway construction in April-May 2020. Reportedly, only about 847 km of highways have beenconstructed in the country during the first two months of this fiscal, compared with 1,692 km in the year-ago period.

• Even assuming a pick-up in the coming quarters, execution of projects in FY21 is estimated to be lower by around 22 per cent againstthe target of 10,250 km, according to ICRA.

• Cumulative awards, however, rose to 747 km in the first two months of the current fiscal from 241 km in the year-ago period.

Other Key Developments

• According to CRISIL, the revenue earned by EPC companies in the roads sector is expected to contract by 8-10% in 2020-21, with theCOVID-19 pandemic-driven lockdowns severely curtailing activity.

• Besides, the pickup in execution and mobilisation after the lifting of the lockdown will be gradual.

• According to ICRA, the extension in concession period by NHAI with the idea of compensating companies for loss in toll collectionduring the first phase of the nationwide lockdown fails to be adequate, as it does not compensate for loss in net present value termsfor majority of BOT (toll) projects.

• The recent relief package announced by NHAI for BOT (toll) concessionaires has two parts- the revenue loss during and after tollsuspension period will be compensated in the form of extension by three to six months in concession period and, COVID-19 loan isprovided for concessionaires to the extent relief is not granted under moratorium under RBI guidelines.

• ICRA claims that this approach may end up becoming contentious with concessionaires disputing the proposed relief measures.• Besides, this measure discriminates between concessionaires, since entities that have not opted for loan moratorium earlier are better

off – they would now have access to COVID-19 loan from NHAI at a much cheaper rate with flexible repayment terms.

• According to ICRA, the Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme may get delayed by about four years in the aftermath of the COVID-19pandemic. The scheme, that was scheduled for completion in 2021-22, is now likely to get completed by 2025-26.

• As of February 2020, a total of 246 road projects with an aggregate length of about 10,100 km were awarded under Phase I of theprogramme at a total cost of Rs 2.38 trillion. According to ICRA, the average cost of the award stood at Rs 238 million per km, 54 percent higher than initial estimated cost of Rs 155.2 million per km.

• The land acquisition cost for the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) increased at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of27 per cent from FY2007 to FY2019 from Rs 2.1 million per hectare to around Rs 40 million per hectare.

• The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has signed a loan agreement worth Rs 15 billion with theBank of India (BoI) and the Central Bank of India (CBI) for the Lucknow-Ballia expressway project (Purvanchal expressway).

• With the new agreement, the total loan amount from various banks for the expressway has crossed Rs 105 billion.• The project involves construction of a 340.82 km access-controlled greenfield expressway from Chandsarai node near Lucknow to

Haideria node in the Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh at an estimated cost of Rs 225 billion.

• NHAI has set up a four-member search-cum-selection panel to manage its Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT).• The authority is in the process of setting up an InvIT. As a part of the process, a new company is being set up to act as the investment

manager to the proposed InvIT.• The idea is to set up a competent entity of experts that can professionally run the infrastructure trust to mobilise resources from the

market for monetising completed highway projects of NHAI.• NHAI has already filed papers with the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch its first InvIT.• The authority plans to offer 19 projects worth Rs 350 billion under the InvIT model, of which two-three projects worth Rs 50-60 billion

are expected to be taken up first.

• Reportedly, financial records, contract documents, and employee information of NHAI has been posted online by cyber criminals. Theinformation was posted online on July 2, 2020, two days after NHAI denied any sensitive information was compromised. The authority,however, confirmed it had on June 28, 2020, been the target of a ransomware attack.

• The Punjab National Bank (PNB) has released funds worth Rs 7.5 billion as the first instalment to the Uttar Pradesh government for theGorakhpur Link six-lane expressway project (NH27, SH-5).

• Of the total civil work cost of Rs 58.77 billion, funds worth Rs 22.5 billion have been sought from a consortium of banks, of which PNBapproved a Rs 7.5 billion loan.

• Meanwhile, the Union Bank of India (UBI) and Canara Bank have granted in-principle approval for funds worth Rs 2.5 billion and Rs 3billion, respectively. Besides, funds worth Rs 10 billion have been sought from the Indian Bank and are yet to be approved.

• MoRTH has recommended the concerned officials to fast-track project clearances to speed up road construction. The recommendationpertained to the issue of outstanding forest clearances for about 187 highway projects in the pipeline.

• The ministry has also stressed that level crossings on national highways need to be removed, as they constitute major accident spots.• It has also agreed to monitor the projects under the Setu Bharatam programme on monthly basis.

• NHAI has announced that it will partner with institutes such as Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) for improving road infrastructureecosystem. The objective is to leverage the intellectual prudence of students and faculty towards improvement of road infrastructureecosystem of the country.

• The authority has approached all IITs, National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and reputed engineering colleges to collaborate andadopt nearby stretches of national highways, on voluntary basis, as part of Institutional Social Responsibility (ISR).
