Working Capital Finance

The SBI has formed a dedicated Project Finance Strategic Business Unit to assess credit proposals from and extend term loans for large industrial and infrastructure projects. Apart from this, project term loans for medium sized projects and smaller clients are delivered through the CAG and the NBG.

In general, project finance covers greenfield industrial projects, capacity expansion at existing manufacturing units, construction ventures or other infrastructure projects. Capital intensive business expansion and diversification as well as replacement of equipment may be financed through the project term loans.

Project finance is quite often channeled through special purpose vehicles and arranged against the future cash streams to emerge from the project.

The loans are approved on the basis of strong in-house appraisal of the cost and viability of the ventures as well as the credit standing of promoters.
