Direct Answer / Underwriting Overview

What is Greenfield vs Brownfield Project Finance in India?

Greenfield Project Finance funds completely new industrial or infrastructure assets from the ground up, requiring rigorous land vetting, civil construction milestones, and 24 to 36-month commissioning moratoriums with higher promoter equity (30%–35%). Brownfield Project Finance finances expanding, debottlenecking, or modernizing existing operational plants, leveraging existing operating cash flows, shorter moratoriums (12–18 months), and higher debt leverage (up to 70%–75%).

Credit Committee Bankability & Risk Mitigation

Why large-ticket applications fail at the Sanction Committee stage and how our desk immunizes your proposal:

Risk Factor 01 Time & Cost Overrun Liabilities

Banks mandate that promoters fund any project cost overruns from their own equity. We build reasonable price escalation reserves into the core project cost.

Risk Factor 02 Environmental and Statutory Clearance Lapses

Unobtained pollution clearances or industrial building approvals suspend loan releases. We audit statutory checklists prior to committee presentation.

Risk Factor 03 Aggressive Debt-Equity Assumptions

Unrealistic 80:20 leverage proposals are rejected instantly. We structure sustainable 67:33 or 70:30 debt-equity ratios supported by hard asset backing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mandate & Syndication Inquiries

Can existing company internal accruals fund the equity for a greenfield project? ▼
Yes. Profitable parent corporations can deploy accumulated surplus cash, retained earnings, or rights issues to fund the required equity in a greenfield project or SPV.
What is a Lenders’ Independent Engineer (LIE)? ▼
An LIE is an independent engineering firm empanelled by the lending bank to inspect civil construction quality, machine installation, and physical completion before each loan disbursement tranche.
How does CreditCares protect existing banking lines during a brownfield expansion? ▼
We ensure existing working capital limits remain ring-fenced, negotiating second-charge sharing agreements or structuring the expansion within a clean subsidiary.
What happens if commercial production is delayed past the agreed COD? ▼
A delay past the sanctioned Commercial Operations Date (COD) requires formal bank approval and extension of the moratorium; otherwise, the account risks supervisory downgrading under RBI norms.
What is Interest During Construction (IDC)? ▼
IDC is the interest accrued on disbursed loan tranches while the project is being built. It is typically capitalized into the total project cost and funded through the term debt facility.
