Project financing has become widely used in India for large capital intensive infrastructure projects. It involves borrowing funds for a project before construction is complete, with lenders looking primarily to the project's cash flows and assets for repayment rather than the sponsor's balance sheet. Key to project financing is allocating risks through long-term contracts between the project company, construction firms, fuel/offtake suppliers and operators. Project financing emerged in the 1970s for power projects and has since been used for various industries like mining, transportation and manufacturing.

Project Review
The process will involve Vasari Capital’s detailed
examination of the project, including reviews of the
customer’s technical information, business and financial
plans, and proposed organizational structure and staffing.
Vasari Capital’s due diligence will be conducted during this
phase but cannot conclude until all application materials
have been received in final form and have been properly
evaluated.
1. Evaluate Financing Plan. This involves a thorough
review of the sources and uses of funds as proposed by the
Sponsor. Aspects of the review will involve:
(a) analysis of the adequacy, leverage and timing of the
proposed sources of funding (with equity funded
either in advance of, or concurrently with, debt
during the construction period);
(b) review of the investment terms and rights of the
Sponsors and degree of commitment; and
(c) assessment of the adequacy of proposed
contingency and reserve funding.
2. Assess Financial Viability. Based on the financing plans of the Sponsor and projections for future financial
performance, Vasari Capital will assess the financial viability of the project with specific emphasis on the project
company’s expected ability to repay a loan. An important consideration in the financial viability assessment
will be an evaluation of the assumptions underlying projected revenues and expenses and the likelihood that
assumed technical performance will be achieved. Vasari will determine the credit quality of the off take contract
counterparty and if credit enhancement is necessary and available.
5. 3. Determine Technical Efficacy. This evaluation will commence with a thorough review of the project’s
engineering report, including consideration of factors such as environmental impact, environmental and energy
goals and infrastructure requirements of the local government. Vasari Capital may utilize its internal technical
resources as well as independent third-party advice in reviewing the project’s technical efficacy. Determination
of the technical merit of the project will be influenced by the quality of the engineering report, including the
professional credentials of the consultant, scope of the undertaking, and strength of the opinions provided. In
addition to the technical merits in terms of the engineering and construction plan, there will be an assessment of
the ability of the project to enhance regional reliability goals, as well as to facilitate the meeting of environmental
(including climate change) and energy goals of the state and federal governments.
4. Review Project Legal Structure. Vasari Capital will review the project’s legal structure. This will involve analysis
of draft and final legal agreements in relation to project company, among other project participants, including
equity owners, financing sources, engineering and construction contractors, operation and maintenance
contractors, equipment suppliers, host communities, and any other counterparties of interest. Additionally, a legal
review will include an analysis of the intellectual property rights of participants in the project to ensure that the
project can use all of the proposed technology to be employed in the project.
5. Evaluate Project Risks. As part of its review, Vasari Capital will identify, assess and estimate the impact of
risks associated with the project. Based on the outcome of the technical, financial and legal reviews, the analysis
will determine the types and magnitude of the risks associated with the project, proper risk allocation among the
parties, and the extent to which risks have been mitigated.

determine the types and magnitude of the risks associated with the project, proper risk allocation among the parties,
and the extent to which risks have been mitigated.
6. 6. Perform Financial Model Review and Stress-Testing. Modeling is a critical tool in assessing the project’s
expected financial performance and ability to service debt. Vasari Capital will verify the Sponsor’s calculations.
The modeling must quantify the impacts of risks by stress-testing the model to understand how changes in
model assumptions can affect the project’s capacity to make full and timely repayments of the loan. This will be
accomplished through the utilization of the corporate or project financial model submitted to Vasari Capital and
through a financial model developed by Vasari Capital.
7. Assess Strengths and Weakness of Project Sponsors. This step of
the process will examine the Project Sponsors’ investment to date and
capability to implement the project as proposed from both financial
and managerial perspectives.
Specific considerations include, but are not limited to:
(a) the Project Sponsors’ track record in project development;
(b) the Project Sponsors’ financial strength and resources;
(c) the strategic value of the project to the Project Sponsors; and
(d) the experience and expertise of the management team,
particularly as it relates to operation of the proposed project.
8. Analyze Proposed Collateral. The value of the collateral will be examined in detail, particularly under default
scenarios. This evaluation will be based on, among other things, the nature of the collateral pledged, appraiser
reports submitted by the customer, and expected cash availability under a default scenario.
