  1. STATE REVOLVING FUNDS: THE INDIAN CONTEXT PARIS 2003

  2. SCHEME OF PRESENTATION • BACKGROUND • ISSUES • PROSPECTS

  3. BACKGROUND • Until now, since the 50’s • Institutional Borrowings by Governments from State owned Financial Institutions on basis of Guarantees. • Project Implementation by Parastatals / Cities • Under investment in Urban Water and Sanitation • User charges rarely covering even O & M • Lending now: • Potential drying up of institutional sources based on State Guarantees on account of ceilings on contingent liabilities. • Limited low cost / equity / grant type funds. • Excess supply of commercial funds.

  4. BACKGROUND : Demand - Supply Gaps Primary Infrastructure Requirement • Water supplies vary from 34 lpcd in Small Towns to 74 lpcd in larger cities significantly below the norms of 90 lpcd. • Only 57% of population in larger cities, 32% in medium towns and 16% in small towns have access to sanitation. • Sector wise break up of investment needs indicates that 74% of the requirements is for water and sanitation sector.

  5. ISSUES: Basic Principles • Stable regulatory framework for debt finance. • Mechanisms for ensuring predictability of revenue flows. • Transparent procurement process to minimise implementation gaps and improve contestibility of capital costs. • Acceptance of pricing through political consensus.

  6. ISSUES : Need for Water Sanitation Funds • Urban Infrastructure, especially water and sanitation investments require long term debt on account of externalities over time and space, severe fiscal constraints on the supply of equity from State and local Governments for new investments, and substantial low income population constraining the ability to pay for high financing costs. • Consequently, the need to link city infrastructure financing requirements with domestic capital markets is well understood. • Debt finance is a pre-requisite for undertaking essential civic investments, and in the long run, domestic savings through capital markets would have to be, predominant source of supply. • The need for an institutionalised mechanism to raise low cost funds for water and sanitation is clear cut with the US Bond Bank as a potential model.

  7. PROSPECTS : Linking Markets & Cities with Intended Use Plans • Creation of a revolving fund by GoI - States • Tax concessions for municipal bonds by GoI • Structure a statutory framework to manage the fund • Borrowing eligibility criteria to be established • Project implementation procedures including rational & quick procurement • Framework for tariff setting - through a democratic process • Fixation of rational levels of upfront contribution by the community / local body • Capacity building for the Raters/Merchant Bankers
