Govt proposes to hive off central hydro projects

26 Jun 2021 CW Team

The government is exploring hiving off constructed central hydropower plants into special purpose vehicle companies under their existing developers to increase their valuations during stake sale.

According to the proposed national assets monetisation pipeline, a senior government official told the media that Niti Aayog has proposed segregating constructed projects and transferring them to an SPV under the CPSU that owns the projects.

The official said that the SPVs consisting of constructed projects might be subsidiaries of their respective CPSUs. Therefore, the transfer ensures that the mixture worth of the mum or dad and subsidiary firm is greater than the present developer of the venture.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in her finance speech, told the media that the nationwide monetisation pipeline might be launched with a dashboard to observe the progress and supply visibility to traders. She also said that monetising working public infrastructure property is a vital financing choice for brand new infrastructure building.

The pipeline plans to monetise property together with electrical energy transmission, oil and gasoline pipelines, roads, hydro and solar energy crops, telecom towers, sports activities stadia at a price of Rs 2.5 lakh crore this fiscal.

The plan consists of awarding 150 passenger trains to non-public gamers, divesting the stake of India's Airports Authority within the joint ventures working Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Delhi airports and leasing out sports activities stadia.

State-owned Energy Grid Corp launched its Infrastructure (InvIT) in April - first by any public sector firm - providing 5 preliminary portfolio property worth Rs 10,384 crore.

InvITs are devices on the sample of mutual funds and are designed to pool small sums of cash from quite a few traders to put money into property that provides money circulation over a time frame.
