Infrastructure Finance

Infrastructure funding has come a long way in India. Thanks to the higher comfort levels, foreign investors no longer seek guarantees from the state and central governments in return for investments. Besides, India has the potential to absorb US$ 150 billion of investment in the next few years in the infrastructure sector alone.
Foreign investors are comfortable with the idea of investing in Indian infrastructure as the risk returns ratio is comparable with that of most other developing markets. As per industry  players report  the average internal rate of return (IRR) on infrastructure projects in India is about 15-20 per cent.
