INTRODUCTION
The Government of India (GoI) is according top priority to the development of infrastructure in
the country with the main objective of achieving higher average growth in the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) in the coming years. GoI recognises that the expansion and development of an
efficient road network is one of the pre-requisites for the countrys economic progress. Roads
have emerged as the preferred mode of transport in India and as per the NHAI, about 65% of
freight and 80% of passenger traffic is carried by the roads. Although National Highways
constitute only about 2 per cent of the road network, it carries 40 per cent of the total road traffic.
The road sector, therefore, forms a key input for production processes and adequate provision of
roads and services helps in increasing productivity and lowering production costs.
The growth in goods movement and passenger mobility in India has led to a considerable rise in
vehicle population. The industrial as well as agricultural development and rapid increase in trade
(domestic and external) have led to higher transport demand. In addition, the increase in per capita
income and overall prosperity has led to higher demand from tourism sectors, etc. leading to
increased pressure on transport infrastructure. The growing mismatch between the road
infrastructure and the vehicle population has led to traffic congestion, poor levels of service and
increase in the number of road accidents.
GoI, through the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRT&H), is working towards
enhancing the traffic carrying capacity and safety levels of the heavily congested National Highway
(NH) sections for efficient transportation of goods as well as passenger traffic. The Road
Transport and Highways Ministry has set for itself a target of achieving 20 km per day. To achieve
this, necessary modifications to project documents and systems & procedures have been made to
attract bidders. MoRT&H had identified certain National Highway stretches for 4-laning on Build,
Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis under National Highway Development Programme (NHDP)
Phase III. These stretches comprising around 12,000 Kms. of roads were to be taken up for
widening from 2-lane to 4-lane standards on BOT basis, based on traffic density, connectivity to
state capitals, and centres of tourist and economic importance. The implementation of these
projects is managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
National Highway 19 (NH 19) connects Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh with Patna in Bihar. It covers
a distance of 240 km, of which 120 km is in Uttar Pradesh and 120 km is in Bihar. This road spans
across the districts of Ghazipur, Bhallia in Uttar Pradesh and Saran, Muzafarpur and Patna in
Bihar. In Bihar it passes through Chhapra, Dighwara and Hajipur and crosses the Ganges to
Page 4
terminate at Patna. To cope with the rapidly rising traffic density, a number of 2-lane sections on
NH-19 were identified for widening to 4 lanes on BOT (Annuity) Basis under NHDP Phase III.
One of these sections is a 65 Km stretch from Chhapra to Hajipur section of NH-19 from km
143.200 to km 207.200 (Project Highway) in the state of Bihar.
In February 2010, NHAI had initiated the international competitive bidding (ICB) process inviting
proposals from eligible parties for taking up 4 laning of Chhapra - Hajipur section of NH-19 from
km 143.200 to km 207.200 in the state of Bihar under NHDP Phase III through a Design, Build,
Finance, Operate, Transfer (DBFOT) concession (the Concession) on Annuity basis for a
concession period of 15 years (2.5 years of construction period and 12.5 years of operating period)
(hereinafter referred to as Project).
Madhucon Projects Limited (MPL) emerged as L1 for the Project based on the lowest annuity
that the Company had sought from NHAI in consideration of the grant of Concession. Letter of
Award (LoA) was awarded to MPL on May 13, 2010. As per the LoA, the annuity sought by the
Company is a fixed Rs 130.86 crore per annum and is payable, in arrears, every 6 months from the
COD for an operating period of 12.5 years. The overall Project implementation framework
involves a special purpose vehicle (SPV), promoted by the successful bidder (i.e. MPL); entering
into an agreement (the Concession Agreement) with NHAI, wherein the SPV implement the
Project. Accordingly, an SPV, by the name of Chhapra-Hajipur Expressways Limited, (CHEL or
the Company), has been incorporated by MPL on June 2, 2010. The Concession Agreement is
expected to be executed between CHEL, as the Concessionaire, and NHAI in the month of June,
2010 (within 45 days from the date of LoA).
The draft of the Concession Agreement provided by NHAI (hereinafter referred to as the CA)
requires the Company to initiate and complete 4-laning of the Project Highway within a 910 day
period (Construction Period) starting from the Appointed Date1, operate and maintain the Project
Highway during the concession period of 15 years (construction period of 2.5 years and operating
period of 12.5 years), and, hand over the Project Highway to NHAI on expiry of the Concession
Period. The CA, on execution, will entitle the Company to receive an annuity of Rs 65.43 Crore
every 6 months, in arrears, starting from the date of commencement of commercial operations
(COD) from NHAI.
Appointed Date - The date on which Financial Close is achieved or an earlier date that the Parties may by mutual
consent determine, and shall be deemed to be the date of commencement of the Concession Period. The CA requires
achievement of Financial Close within 180 days from the date of the signing of the CA. For the avoidance of doubt,
every Condition Precedent shall have been satisfied or waived prior to the Appointed Date and in the event all
Conditions Precedent are not satisfied or waived, as the case may be, the Appointed Date shall be deemed to occur
only when each and every Condition Precedent is either satisfied or waived, as the case may be;

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
4.1
Scope of the Project
As per NHAIs terms, CHEL has been incorporated by MPL for executing the Project. The
Project envisages Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Transfer (DBFOT) of 4 laning of Chhapra Hajipur section of NH-19 from km 143.200 to km 207.200 in the state of Bihar under NHDP
Phase III on Annuity basis for a period of 15 years (2.5 years of construction period and 12.5 years
operating period). The Project envisages the following:
i)
Construction of the Project Highway and Project Facilities as per the Schedule A of the CA
ii) Operations & Maintenance of the Project Highway

iii) Performance and fulfillment of all other obligations of the Concessionaire in accordance with
the provisions of the CA and matters incidental thereto or necessary for the performance of
any or all of the obligations of the Concessionaire under the CA.
iv) Transfer of the Project to NHAI at the end of the Concession Period
4.2
Site & Project Location
National Highway 19 (NH 19) connects Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh with Patna in Bihar. It covers
a distance of 240 km, of which 120 km is in Uttar Pradesh and 120 km is in Bihar. This road spans
across the districts of Ghazipur, Bhallia in Uttar Pradesh and Saran, Muzafarpur and Patna in
Bihar. In Bihar it passes through Chhapra, Dighwara and Hajipur and crosses the River Ganges to
terminate at Patna. To cope with the rapidly rising traffic density, a number of 2-lane sections on
NH-19 were identified for widening to 4 lanes on BOT (Annuity) Basis under NHDP Phase III.
One of these sections is a 65 Km stretch from Chhapra to Hajipur section of NH-19 from km
143.200 to km 207.200 (Project Highway) in the state of Bihar.
Hajipur is around 10 km from Patna whereas Chhapra is around 70 km from Patna. The area
nearer to Patna falls under Zone-4 of earthquake hazard zoning of India. The latest seismic zoning
map of India given in the earthquake resistant design code of India [IS 1893 (Part 1) 2002] assigns
four levels of seismicity for India in terms of zone factors. In other words, the earthquake zoning
map of India divides India into 4 seismic zones (Zone 2, 3, 4 and 5) unlike its previous version
which consisted of five or six zones for the country. Zone-4 is called the High Damage Risk Zone
and it covers areas in Indo-Gangetic basin and the capital of the country (Delhi, Jammu) and
Bihar.

such delayed completion shall be the product of Average Daily Annuity and the number of days
by which the COD exceeded the Scheduled Four Laning Date.
5.2.1.9
Assured Lane Availability
If due to Concessionaires failure to perform/discharge its obligations the actual availability of the
Carriageway during any Annuity Payment Period was less than the Assured Lane Availability, the

Contingency Provisions
Typically in road projects, the major component of the Project Cost is the EPC contract cost. As
the EPC contract is proposed to be awarded on a fixed price fixed time basis, a nominal
provision of about Rs 17.03 crore has been provided as contingency to cover any unanticipated
increase in preliminary & pre-operative expenses, consultancy charges and other expenditure.
e.
Working Capital Margin
Typically in annuity based projects, the annuity from NHAI will commence on COD and the first
annuity will be payable 6 months from the COD. However, the company will incur expenses on
O&M, administrative costs and interest on term loan during this period. As per normal
calculations, CHELs would be eligible to receive around 75% of the receivable from NHAI in the
first year of operation; however, we have assessed the expenses to be incurred by the Company
during this period for the working capital requirement in the first year of operation. The total
Working Capital requirement for the Project in the first year of operations comes out to be
Rs.32.19 Crore. Margin money to be brought for meeting working capital requirement by the
promoters has been estimated at Rs 8.05 Crore (i.e. 25% of projected net working capital
requirement) which is provided for in the Project cost towards meeting these expenses for the
initial 6 months after COD. The balance of Rs 24.14 Crore shall be raised from various working
capital bankers in due course. The rate of interest for the working capital finance has been
assumed at 10.00% p.a.

MEANS OF FINANCE
The project cost is proposed to be funded by a mix of promoters contribution and term loan
(RTL) at a debt: equity ratio of 72:28 as shown below:

Promoters Contribution
The Promoters would be bringing in Rs 39.00 Crore (4.80% of the Equity requirement) by
subscribing to equity share capital of CHEL and the balance Rs 188.50 Crore would be brought in
the form of interest free unsecured loan. Considering the specific purpose of the SPV, unsecured
loans are proposed to be brought in as Equity to minimize the cost on transferring the surplus
funds to the Sponsors once all the term loans are fully repaid. The phasing of Promoters
Contribution of Rs. 227.50 Crore is envisaged to occur in the following manner:

NATIONAL HIGHWAY AUTHORITY OF INDIA
8.1
Background
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was constituted by an Act of Parliament, namely
the National Highways Authority of India Act, 1988, to develop, maintain and manage the
National Highways vested or entrusted to it by the Central Government. It became operational in
February, 1995. NHAI is an autonomous organization wholly owned by Government of India
(GoI) under the Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways (MoSRT&H). The road
sector has been identified as one of the key infrastructural bottlenecks impeding economic growth
in India. In order to address this issue, GOI initiated the comprehensive National Highways
Development Programme (NHDP) in 1999. NHAI has been given the mandate to implement the
NHDP.
The mission of NHAI is to meet the nations need of development and maintenance of national
highways network to world standards within the strategic policy framework set by GoI and thus
promote economic well being. GoI vests the management of NHAI with a board of members
comprising the Chairman, five full time members and four part time members.
Indian road network of 33 lakh Km is around second largest in the world and it consists of 70,548
km of National Highways, 1, 31,899 Km of State Highways, 200 Km of Expressways, 4, 67,763
Km of Major District Roads and 26, 50,000 Km of Rural and Other roads In India, about 65% of
freight and 80% passenger traffic is carried by the roads. National Highways constitute only about
2% of the road network but carry about 40% of the total road traffic. Number of vehicles has
been growing at an average pace of 10.16% per annum over the last five years.
8.2
Operations of NHAI
The primary mandate of NHAI is time and cost bound implementation of the National Highways
Development Programme (NHDP) through a host of funding options including from external
multilateral agencies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JBIC etc. The main functions of
NHAI are as follows:
Survey, develop, maintain and manage highways vested in, or entrusted to it;
Regulate and control the plying of vehicles on the highways vested in, or entrusted to, it
for the proper management thereof;
Develop and provide consultancy and construction services in India and abroad and carry
on research activities in relation to the development, maintenance and management of
highways or any facilities thereat;
Page 53
Provide such facilities and amenities for the users of the highways vested in, or entrusted
to, it as are, in the opinion of the Authority, necessary for the smooth flow of traffic on
such highways;
Form one or more companies under the Companies Act, 1956 ( 1 of 1956) to further the
efficient discharge of the functions imposed on it by this Act;
Advise the Central Government on matters relating to highways; and
Collect fees on behalf of the Central Government for services or benefits rendered under
section 7 of the National Highways Act, 1956 ( 48 of 1956) , as amended from time to
time, and such other fees on behalf of the State Governments on such terms and
conditions as may be specified by such State Government.
NHAI is implementing the NHDP in the following modes of delivery:

(a) BOT (Toll)
(b) BOT (Annuity)
(c) Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
(d) EPC
BOT (Toll) Model
In a BOT (Toll) Model, the concessionaire (private sector) is required to meet the
upfront/construction cost and the expenditure on annual maintenance. The Concessionaire
recovers the entire upfront/construction cost along with the interest and a return on investment
out of the future toll collection. The viability of the project greatly depends on the traffic (i.e. toll).
However, with a view to bridge the gap between the investment required and the gains arising out
of it, i.e., to increase the viability of the projects, capital grant is also provided (up to a maximum
of 40% of the project cost has been provided under NHDP).
BOT (Annuity) Model
Annuity projects have been conceived by NHAI as an alternative to the traditional toll based BOT
projects to catalyse private sector participation in large NH projects. Under the BOT (Annuity)
Model, the Concessionaire (private sector) is required to meet the entire upfront/construction cost
(no grant is paid by the client) and the expenditure on annual maintenance. The Concessionaire
recovers the entire investment and a pre-determined cost of return out of the annuities payable by
the client every year. The selection is made based on the least annuity quoted by the bidders (the
concession period being fixed). The client (Government/NHAI) retains the risk with respect to
traffic (toll), since the client collects the toll.
Page 54
Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) Model

Under SPV Model, NHAI forms Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for funding road projects. SPVs
are separate legal entities formed under the Companies Act, 1956. It involves very less cash
support from the NHAI in the form of equity/debt; rest of the funds come from Ports/Financial
Institutions/beneficiary organisations in the form of equities/debt. The amount spent on
development of roads/highways is to be recovered in prescribed concession period by way of
collection of toll fee by SPV.
EPC Model
In an EPC Model, NHAI invites the bids from the Contractors for the construction of the
required Highway. NHAI provides the entire technical specifications and the payment terms in the
bid documents. The bidding parameter under the EPC model is the lowest construction cost
bidded by the Contractors. After completion of the construction, NHAI retains the right to toll
the completed stretch.
8.3
Finance Mechanisms
NHAI proposes to finance its projects by a host of financing mechanisms. Some of them are as
follows:Revenue from Cess
This consists of cess on every litre of diesel and petrol sold in the country. It is proposed that
earmarking of cess may be done for viability gap funding relating to the approved programme of
BOT (Toll) projects. The earmarking would be done annually by the Planning Commission in
consultation with MoSRT&H and Finance Ministry, along with fixing of the borrowing limits of
NHAI. The remaining cess revenue may continue to be used for ongoing expenditures including
construction contracts, annuity repayments, land acquisitions, DPR preparation etc.
Surplus from Toll Revenues
The other major source of revenue for NHAI is the collection of tolls on the stretches of GQ and
NHDP-II, which were already four laned under EPC/Annuity Models. These funds are expected
to be utilised by NHAI for funding its capital and revenue expenditures.
Additional Budgetary Support
As the NHDP-I, NHDP-II and NHDP-III did not envisage any budgetary support other than
cess and external assistance and the fact that the cess revenues would be doubled next year
onwards, NHAI does not propose any additional budgetary support for funding its future NHDP
Page 55
programmes except for Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for North East
(SARDP-NE).
Market Borrowings
The shortfall between the inflows from all sources and the projected outflows, including the
payment of annuity, is proposed to be met out of Market Borrowings. Market Borrowings would
have to be raised against suitable forms of support or back stopping by the Finance Ministry. This
may include a commitment that cess revenues at a pre-determined level would be made available
to NHAI and may be suitably assigned for debt service. Given the size and tenure of borrowings,
it would be necessary for the Ministry of Finance to provide the requisite comfort to lenders so
that NHAI is able to raise the projected borrowings.
Negative Grant from the Private Sector
This is another source of funds for NHAI. It may be mentioned that in some of the BOT (Toll)
projects, the bidder has quoted the negative grant payable to NHAI.
8.4
Financial Profile of NHAI
NHAI has a strong financial position because of the support it receives from the GoI for
implementing its projects. The support includes allocation of Cess on fuels, earmarking of
budgetary resources and flexibility to raise funds through Capital Gains Bonds. In order to
support the funds required for NHDP, the government levies a cess of Rs 2 on every liter of
petrol/diesel sold.This allocation of cess on fuel which constituted 59.3% of NHAIs capital
employed as on March 31,2009 has been increased by 23% to Rs. 85.78 billion in 2009-10.Cess
funds are used by NHAI for repayment of principal and interest of market borrowings, payment
of viability gap funds and payment of Annuity (in BOT Annuity Projects). NHAI also receives
budgetary support from the GoI. It received Rs. 1.59 billion in 2008-09 and RS. 5.59 billion in
2007-2008. The allocation varies based on yearly requirements. GoI also extends financial support
in the form of multilateral agency loans for the road sector. NHAI receives 80% of these funds as
grant. In 2008-09, Rs. 15.13 billion was received as grant and Rs. 3.79 billion as loan.
NHAI is one of the two bodies authorised to float bonds that qualify for Capital Gains
Exemption, this gives the authority an opportunity to tap the debt market of the country. The
response to the debt issues of NHAI has always been overwhelming. These issues have a
reaffirmed AAA rating from CRISIL.
To reduce NHAIs financial exposure and also to bring in private participation, NHAI has been
awaring projects on BOT basis. Though some projects thus awarded require viability gap funding,
Page 56
there are some projects on certain commercially viable stretches through which NHAI is getting
negative grant. NHAI had received a negative grant of Rs. 13.53 billion till March 31,2009.As on
March 31, 2009, NHAI has a networth of Rs. 51,696 Crore, against this NHAI has a total debt of
Rs. 5544 Crore.
11.3.1 Credit Rating
CRISIL had carried out rating of NHAI for its Rs 80.0 billion long term borrowing programme
and Rs. 55.93 billion Taxable Bond Programme and has assigned the following rating to NHAI:

11. RISK ANALYSIS & SWOT ANALYSIS

11.1
Risk Analysis
The risks perceived during the existing operations period of the Project and risk mitigation
measures are as below:
Construction Risk
Risk Factor
Allocated to
Construction and EPC Contractor
Completion risk
Risk Mitigation Measures
Road construction methodologies and technologies

are simple, proven and standardized.
MPL is an established player in the road sector with

successful track record in implementing road projects
of over 700 km in length. The project will be
implemented on fixed cost & fixed time basis.
Suitable Liquidated Damages would be incorporated
in the EPC Contract to ensure timely completion.
80% of the land will be made available by NHAI
before the Appointed Date. The balance 20% is
proposed to be made available within 90 days of the
Appointed Date.
Thus, the construction and completion risk is

considered low.
Cost Over-run
EPC Contractor
/ Sponsors
The EPC contract is proposed to be awarded on fixed

price fixed time basis, which accounts for around
88.63% of the total project cost. Further, a
contingency provision of Rs 17.03 crore to cover the
impact of any unforeseen factors.
MPL/MIL will provide undertaking for cost overrun if
any.
The risk of delay due to cost over-run is considered

low.
Land Acquisition NHAI
and
timely
availability of land
As per the draft CA, NHAI has to provide land as

per the following schedule:
80% of the required land On or before the
Appointed Date (on or before Financial Close)
failing which NHAI has to pay Rs.50 per day for
every 1,000 square metres or part thereof,
commencing from the 91st day of the Appointed
Date
All the remaining land Within 90 days from the

Appointed Date failing which NHAI has to pay
0.1% of the Performance Security for each days
delay subject to a maximum of 20% of the
Performance Security
Page 69
Also, as per the draft CA, the Concessionaire can

request for a Provisional Certificate after completing
75% of the total length of the Project Highway.
Provisional Certificate allows the Project Highway to
enter into commercial service and allows the
Concessionaire to collect the Annuity Fee for the
completed stretch.
From the above provisions of the draft CA, it can be seen that
NHAI undertakes to provide at least 80% of the land on or
before Financial Close. Moreover, NHAI is committed to hand
over the balance 20% land within 90 days of the Appointed
Date.
Low Risk
Obtaining statutory CHEL

clearances
and
approvals
NHAI is required to procure all applicable permits

relating to environmental protection & conservation
of the site. All permits and approvals under applicable
laws and permits need to be obtained by CHEL.
NHAI has already obtained environmental clearance
from MoEF.
Low Risk.
Funding Risk
CHEL
The Promoters would be bringing in Rs 41.80 Crore

by subscribing to equity share capital of CHEL and
the balance Rs 192.28 Crore would be brought in the
form of interest free unsecured loan. The Sponsor(s)
are making adequate arrangements to meet their
equity commitments for various projects. The
Company proposes to raise about Rs 400 Crore by
way of private placement and a further Rs.400 Crore
by way of IPO. The Company is confident of
completing the private placement by July 2010.
Madhucon Group is one of the reputed infrastructure
development companies and has the resources to
bring in the entire equity required for the project.
Further, the Sponsor proposes to bring in 25% of its

equity contribution upfront, before approaching the
lenders for the first debt drawal.
The Project Sponsor(s) shall furnish a shortfall undertaking (to
bring in additional funds in a form & manner satisfactory to the
RTL Lenders) for cases of any cost overrun and /or gap in means of
financing.
Low Risk
Concessionaire
Event of Default
CHEL
Pre COD
The Concessionaire Events of Default are mentioned
in clause 6.1.15 (i) of this PIM. In case of termination

of the CA due to Concessionaire Event of Default
during the construction period, NHAI will not make
Page 70
any termination payments to the lenders.
The Sponsor will provide an undertaking to meet any

shortfall in the repayment of the lenders dues, owing
to termination of the Concession Agreement due to a
Concessionaire event of default during the
construction period.
Low Risk
Operations Period
Risk Factor
Revenue Risk
Allocated To
CHEL/NHAI
O&M risks
CHEL/MIL/
MPL
Risk Mitigation Measures
Being an Annuity project, the CA provides for

periodic payments of annuity by NHAI.
NHAI is a GoI undertaking and is rated AAA by CRISIL
indicating highest safety in meeting its financial obligations.
Therefore, the revenue risk is minimal.
The CA specifies the O&M standards, specification
and the manner in which the concessionaire would
carry out O&M of the facility. Moreover, IE and GoB
are entrusted to supervise and monitor the facility
throughout the concession period.
The Operations & Maintenance (O&M) responsibility
is proposed to be entrusted to MIL/MPL based on
their experience and skills. MPL has experience in
executing O&M works.
Low Risk
Force
Risks
Majeure CHEL/NHAI
Allocation of costs arising out of Force Majeure

Upon occurrence of any Force Majeure Event
prior to the Appointed Date, NHAI and the
Concessionaire shall bear their respective costs.
Upon occurrence of a Force Majeure Event after
the Appointed Date, the costs incurred and
attributable to such event and directly relating to
the Project shall be allocated and paid as follows:
a. In a Non-Political Event, the Parties shall
bear their respective Force Majeure Costs;
b. In an Indirect Political Event, all Force
Majeure Costs attributable to such Indirect
Political Event, and not exceeding the
Insurance Cover for such Indirect Political
Event, shall be borne by the Concessionaire,
and to the extent Force Majeure Costs exceed
such Insurance Cover, one half of such excess
amount shall be reimbursed by the Authority
to the Concessionaire; and
c. upon occurrence of a Political Event, all
Force Majeure Costs attributable to such
Political Event shall be reimbursed by the
Authority to the Concessionaire.

being the then SBI PLR -(minus) 3%
During the implementation and operations period,

CHEL is required to take comprehensive insurance
package for all insurable events or any other
insurance required by the lenders.
All the termination payments due to FME would be

made through the Escrow Account.
The CA provides for suitable payments in the event of termination.
The risk is considered acceptable.
Concessionaire
Event of Default
CHEL
In case of termination of the CA due to

Concessionaire Event of Default during the
operations period, NHAI would pay a termination
amount equal to discounted value of future Annuity
payments, the discounting factor applied being the
then SBI PLR + 3% less Insurance Cover; provided
that if any insurance claims forming part of the
Insurance Cover are not admitted and paid, then 80%
of such unpaid claims shall be deducted from the
termination payment so assessed.
MPL is experienced in implementing road projects.

The risk of Concessionaire Event of Default is
considered Low.
NHAI Event of NHAI
Default
In case of termination of the CA due to NHAI Event

of Default during the operations period, the
termination payment payable by NHAI would be an
Annuity payments; the discounting factor applied
being the then SBI PLR -3%.
Low Risk
Page 72
11.2 SWOT Analysis
Strengths
The Project is an outcome of the conscious recognition by NHAI to improve the road
transport network in the country. The Project is thus, assured of political and
administrative support, which is important for projects of this nature. The Project has the
support of GoB, NHAI and GoI.
Being an Annuity project, the revenue risk is minimal.
The Project is being sponsored by Madhucon Projects Limited (MPL), an experienced
construction company having successfully completed road projects of over 700 Km
length.
The EPC contract is proposed to be on a fixed price, fixed time basis with provisions for
Liquidated Damages. Moreover, the Sponsors will provide undertakings for cost overrun
support.
Given the assured revenues by way of Annuities from NHAI, an average DSCR of 1.29 is
considered comfortable.
Weaknesses
NHAI is not liable to pay any termination payment, on account of Concessionaire Event
of Default, during the Construction Period.
MPL, the EPC Contractor for the Project will enter into fixed-price fixed-time contracts with CHEL.
MPL has specialized in road construction for over 2 decades and they are specialized in major highway
projects.
The nature of the EPC contract will be such that the execution risk of the construction work is directly
linked to the ability of the EPC Contractor to continually and consistently meet their contractual
commitments under the EPC contract. This, in turn, is a function of the business and financial risks
associated with the operations of the EPC Contractor.
Moreover, the Sponsor will provide an undertaking to meet any shortfall in the repayment of the lenders
dues, owing to termination of the Concession Agreement due to a Concessionaire event of default during the
In case the Concessionaire achieves COD after to the Scheduled four laning Date then it
shall be liable for reduction in its first Annuity for delayed completion of the Project. Such
Reduction shall be effected on the first Annuity payment on the first Annuity Payment
Date. The Reduction for such delayed completion shall be the product of Average Daily
Page 73
Annuity and the number of days by which the COD exceeded the Scheduled Four Laning
Date.
MPL is an established player in road construction. The EPC contract is a fixed cost and fixed
time contract. Moreover, MPL / MIL shall provide an undertaking for timely completion and
also for necessary infusion of funds in case of any delay.
Opportunity
Early completion of the Project can help the Company gain by way of Bonus payments
from NHAI.

12. CONCLUSION
Madhucon Projects Limited (MPL), the flagship company of the Madhucon Group, was awarded
the LoA by NHAI for implementing the project for Four- laning of Chhapra to Hajipur section of
NH-19 from km 143.200 to km 207.200 in the state of Bihar under NHDP Phase III on Design,
Build, Finance, Operate, Transfer (DBFOT) Annuity basis. The LoA was issued by NHAI on May
13, 2010. As required by NHAI, CHEL was incorporated as an SPV of the Madhucon Group to
undertake the implementation of the Project. As per the LoA, the Concession Period is 15 years,
including 2.5 years of construction and 12.5 years of payment of annuity. On completion, the
project will receive an annuity of Rs 130.86 crore in semi-annual instalments of Rs 65.43 crore.
The total cost of the Project, estimated at Rs.812.50 Crore, is proposed to be funded through a
mix of Term Loans and Equity in the ratio of 72:28. Equity will consist of Rs 39.00 Crore of
equity capital and Rs 188.50 Crore of interest free unsecured loan from the Promoters. The equity
for the project would be contributed by MIL/MPL. MIL is proposing to raise Rs.400 Crore
through a private placement and another Rs 400 Crore from IPO. The other Project highlights are
as under:
9 The promoters of CHEL would be utilising its technical expertise and manpower for
implementing and operating the Project
9 The Project would set up through an fixed time fixed cost EPC contract, which would be
finalised by July, 2010.
9 Being an Annuity project, the revenue risk is minimal.
On an assessment of the project parameters, it is recommended that CHEL:
Execute the necessary contracts with NHAI in a time bound manner
Take appropriate steps for receipt of necessary approvals for implementing the project.
Follow-up with NHAI to ensure timely right of way / acquisition of balance 20% land by
NHAI
Based on the appraisal exercise, it may be concluded that
Considering the cash flows estimated for the project based on the assumptions, the Company
is expected to meet its debt serving obligations towards the project;
At the given assumptions, the overall financial, liquidity and profitability parameters of the
project are considered reasonable and satisfactory.
Page 75
Subject to the above analysis and the impact of the various scenarios as envisaged, under the
sensitivity analysis, the capital expenditure program of CHEL for the project is viewed as
economically viable.
