India’s social infrastructure deficit across healthcare, sanitation, housing and urban connectivity is being addressed through an expanding PPP pipeline. Infra Advisors brings structured advisory capability to social sector projects where financial discipline and project viability are as critical as public impact.
Infra Advisors provides advisory on STP project development and PPP structuring, covering technology selection, tipping-fee and grant modelling, concession design and debt financing. We support ULBs in designing viable STP procurement frameworks and advise developers on project bidding and financial close.
Infra Advisors advises affordable housing developers on project viability, subsidy optimisation under PMAY, joint development structuring and construction finance arrangements. We also assist housing authorities in designing bankable PPP frameworks for large-scale affordable housing delivery.
Find answers to common questions on social infrastructure development, PPP structuring, VGF, project financing, and advisory for healthcare and sanitation projects.
Under Ayushman Bharat-linked PPP frameworks, private operators develop and run district hospitals or specialist care facilities on public land, serving government-insured patients at regulated tariffs while earning revenue from private-pay patients. Infra Group advises on concession structuring, viability gap funding assessment, healthcare operator selection and financial modelling for greenfield and redevelopment hospital PPP projects.
STP projects under NMCG and Swachh Bharat Mission mandates involve concession agreements with Urban Local Bodies, tipping-fee structures and hybrid annuity financing. Viability depends on ULB payment security and grant support. Infra Group advises STP developers on concession structuring, payment security design, VGF optimisation and debt arrangement for wastewater infrastructure projects.
Key risks include ULB/government payment defaults, demand underperformance, land acquisition delays and regulatory tariff revisions. Mitigants include escrow mechanisms, state government guarantees and hybrid annuity structures reducing demand risk. Infra Group helps developers identify and structure appropriate risk allocation frameworks during concession design, ensuring projects attract both developer interest and project finance lender support.
VGF in social sector projects bridges the gap between commercially viable returns and lower fee-based revenues typical of healthcare or sanitation assets. Calculating the optimal VGF requires detailed financial modelling of capital costs, O&M projections and realistic revenue assumptions. Infra Group assists developers and government authorities in structuring VGF frameworks and determining justifiable VGF levels for hospital, STP and urban infrastructure PPPs.
Structuring viable waste treatment PPPs requires credible concession frameworks, transparent tipping-fee mechanisms, guaranteed throughput commitments and ULB payment backstops. Infra Group advises state governments and ULBs on project structuring, concessionaire bid processes and transaction advisory for solid waste management projects under Swachh Bharat Mission and Solid Waste Management Rules compliance.
