Shailendra Bhatia, the nodal officer, explained the financial close, which means that the funding related to the project had been completed, and the project was ready for construction.

As per the agreement, YIAPL has to pay 65% of the cost incurred on the project through SBI's funding, while the remaining would be infused with the parent company.
