Ports
IDFC has played a key role in making port sector investments more attractive for the private sector through optimal risk allocation by proposing a move from the guaranteed royalty payments to revenue sharing.
Ports sector reforms in India have gathered pace after the sector was opened up for private sector participation. IDFC has been an integral part of these reforms and has been actively involved as a financier for almost all the ports on the west coast in India including the Mundra International Container Limited and Gujarat Pipavav Port Limited. The roles carried out by IDFC range from securitization of debt and receivables to being a lead arranger of senior and subordinated debt.
IDFC Projects is now foraying into development of ports including construction of berths, jetties, breakwaters, marine structures and cargo handling facilities and also development of land for setting up port-based industries.
Currently, IDFC Projects, in consortium with DP World has bid for construction and operation of a container terminal at Ennore Port.
