In HAM (Hybrid Annuity Model), the government pays 40% of project cost during construction and the balance as annuities, reducing revenue risk for the concessionaire. DBFOT-Toll transfers toll revenue risk entirely to the private party. Infra Group advises on both models, helping developers choose the right structure based on traffic forecasts, debt capacity and lender appetite.
Traffic and revenue modelling determines the bankability of a toll project by projecting long-term cash flows under base, upside and stress scenarios. Lenders require independent traffic studies before committing debt. Infra Group provides integrated traffic-to-financial-model advisory for DBFOT-Toll projects under NHAI's Bharatmala Phase I pipeline, supporting both developers and project finance lenders.
Winning an NHAI concession bid requires robust bid economics analysis, concession agreement review, financial modelling, equity-debt structuring and RFP compliance. Infra Group provides end-to-end bid advisory for highway projects, covering technical qualification support, financial bid preparation and pre-bid clarification strategy across DBFOT and HAM procurement routes.
Project finance for DBFOT-Toll road projects typically involves senior term loans from banks or NBFCs secured against toll revenues and concession rights. Infra Group assists with debt syndication, preparing information memoranda, lender presentations, financial models and independent engineer coordination, helping developers reach financial close under NHAI and state highway authority concessions.
Viability Gap Funding (VGF) is a Government of India support mechanism designed to make economically desirable but financially unviable PPP infrastructure projects commercially viable by providing grant assistance. In road PPP projects, VGF can help bridge the gap between project costs and expected revenues under applicable government frameworks. Infra Group supports developers through VGF assessment and structuring advisory, helping evaluate potential support requirements and align project planning with relevant PPP guidelines.
