India has been going through a global infrastructure enhancement over the last five years. Projects are being completed faster and capital expenditure (capex) spend is expected to increase at a CAGR of 20% over the next five years. The lending environment has also improved with banks becoming aggressive on project loans.

At the same time, there is ample availability of finance at cheaper rates due to the monetary policy announcements by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Project loans, also known as Project Financing (PF), are financial instruments used to fund long-term capital-intensive projects. These are usually large infrastructure projects such as road construction, power plants, port and ferry development, airports, and SEZs.

The investment required for a project of this kind is quite high but the revenue is generated over a relatively long period of time. This is why project finance instruments have gained prominence in India post-financial liberalization of the late 1990s.
