Chap 1: Introduction

Project financing is an innovative and timely financing technique that has been used on

many high-profile corporate projects, including Euro Disneyland and the Eurotunnel.

Employing a carefully engineered financing mix, it has long been used to fund large-scale

natural resource projects, from pipelines and refineries to electric-generating facilities

and hydro-electric projects. Increasingly, project financing is emerging as the preferred

alternative to conventional methods of financing infrastructure and other large-scale

projects worldwide.

Project Financing discipline includes understanding the rationale for project financing,

how to prepare the financial plan, assess the risks, design the financing mix, and raise the

funds. In addition, one must understand the cogent analyses of why some project

financing plans have succeeded while others have failed. A knowledge-base is required

regarding the design of contractual arrangements to support project financing; issues for

the host government legislative provisions, public/private infrastructure partnerships,

public/private financing structures; credit requirements of lenders, and how to determine

the project's borrowing capacity; how to analyze cash flow projections and use them to

measure expected rates of return; tax and accounting considerations; and analytical

techniques to validate the project's feasibility

Project finance is different from traditional forms of finance because the credit risk

associated with the borrower is not as important as in an ordinary loan transaction; what

is most important is the identification, analysis, allocation and management of every risk

associated with the project.

The purpose of this project is to explain, in a brief and general way, the manner in which

risks are approached by financiers in a project finance transaction. Such risk

minimization lies at the heart of project finance.

In a no recourse or limited recourse project financing, the risks for a financier are great.

Since the loan can only be repaid when the project is operational, if a major part of the

1


project fails, the financiers are likely to lose a substantial amount of money. The assets

that remain are usually highly specialized and possibly in a remote location. If saleable,

they may have little value outside the project. Therefore, it is not surprising that

financiers, and their advisers, go to substantial efforts to ensure that the risks associated

with the project are reduced or eliminated as far as possible. It is also not surprising that

because of the risks involved, the cost of such finance is generally higher and it is more

time consuming for such finance to be provided.

Project finance is the financing of long-term infrastaructure and industrial projects based

upon a complex financial structure where project debt and equity are used to finance the

project. Usually, a project financing scheme involves a number of equity investors,

known as sponsors, as well as a syndicate of banks which provide loans to the operation.

The loans are most commonly non-recourse loans, which are secured by the project itself

and paid entirely from its cash flow, rather than from the general assets or

creditworthiness of the project sponsors. The financing is typically secured by all of the

project assets, including the revenue-producing contracts. Project lenders are given a lien

on all of these assets, and are able to assume control of a project if the project company

has difficulties complying with the loan terms.

Generally, a special purpose entity is created for each project, thereby shielding other

assets owned by a project sponsor from the detrimental effects of a project failure. As a

special purpose entity, the project company has no assets other than the project. Capital

contribution commitments by the owners of the project company are sometimes

necessary to ensure that the project is financially sound. Project finance is often more

complicated than alternative financing methods. It is most commonly used in the mining,

transportation, telecommunication and public utility industries.

Risk identification and allocation is a key component of project finance. A project may be

subject to a number of technical, environmental, economic and political risks, particularly

in developing countries and emerging markets. Financial institutions and project sponsors

may conclude that the risks inherent in project development and operation are

unacceptable (unfinanceable). To cope with these risks, project sponsors in these

industries (such as power plants or railway lines) are generally completed by a number of

specialist companies operating in a contractual network with each other that allocates risk

in a way that allows financing to take place. The various patterns of implementation are

sometimes referred to as "project delivery methods." The financing of these projects must

also be distributed among multiple parties, so as to distribute the risk associated with the

project while simultaneously ensuring profits for each party involved.

Chap 2: AN OVERVIEW

2.1 Banking Sector

There have been major structural changes in the financial sector since banking sector

reforms were introduced in India in 1992. Since then Banks have been lending

aggressively providing funds towards infrastructure sector. Major policy measures

include phased reductions in statutory pre-emption like cash reserve and statutory

liquidity requirements and deregulation of interest rates on deposits and lending, except

for a select segment. The diversification of ownership of banking institutions is yet

another feature which has enabled private shareholding in the public sector banks,

through listing on the stock exchanges, arising from dilution of the Government

ownership. Foreign direct investment in the private sector banks is now allowed up to 74

per cent.

The co-existence of the public sector, private sector and the foreign banks has generated

competition in the banking sector leading to a significant improvement in efficiency and

customer service. The share of private and foreign banks in total assets increased to 31.5

per cent at end-March 2007 from 27.6 per cent at end-March 2006 and less than 10.0 per

cent at the inception of reforms.

The nationalized banks have more branches than any other types of banks in

India. Now there are about 33,627 Branches in India, as on March 2005.

Investments of scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) also saw an increase from Rs

8,04,199 crore in March 2005 to Rs 8,43,081 crore in the same month of 2006.

India's retail-banking assets are expected to grow at the rate of 18% a year over

the next four years (2006-2010).

Retail loan to drive the growth of retail banking in future. Housing loan account

for major chunk of retail loan.

2.2.1 Rationale for the study

Offering credit is an operation fraught with risk. Before offering credit to an organization,

its financial health must be analyzed. Credit should be disbursed only after ascertaining

satisfactory financial performance. Based on the financial health of an organization,

banks assign credit ratings. These credit ratings are used to fix the interest rate and

quantum of installment.

This study aims to analyze the credit health of organizations that approach Union Bank of

India for foreign exchange credit facilities. After analyzing credit health, the credit rating

is determined. On the basis of credit rating, the interest rate guidelines circular is

consulted to fix a price for the credit facilities i.e. determine the interest rate.

2.2.2 Credit disbursement at Union Bank of India

This project was undertaken at the Industrial Finance Branch of Union Bank of India, at

the Credit Department. Financial requirements for Project Finance and Working Capital

purposes are taken care of at the Credit Department. Companies that intend to seek credit

facilities approach the bank. Primarily, credit is required for following purposes:-

1. Working capital finance

2. Term loan for mega projects

6


3. non fund based Limits Like Letter of Guarantee, Letter of Credit

Companies present audited balance sheets of the current and previous years. These are

used to determine the financial health, turnover trends and rise and fall of profitability.

Then credit rating is done.

The financial health and credit rating are theoretical methods for determining the right

interest rate. However, in practice, banks consider other factors such as history with

client, market reputation and future benefits with clients. Thus, a difference exists

between theory and practice.

2.2.3 Objectives of the project

To assess the financial health of organizations that approach Union Bank of India for

credit for import export purposes. This would entail undertaking of the following

procedures:

Analysis of past and present financial statements

Analysis of Balance Sheet

Analysis of Cash Flow Statements

Examination of Profitability statements

Examination of projected financial statements

Examination of CMA data

To assess the suitability of the company for disbursement of credit. This would involve

the following actions:

Use of credit rating charts

Evaluation of management risk

Evaluation of financial risk

Evaluation of market-industry risk

Evaluation of the facility

Evaluation of compliance of sanction terms

Calculation of credit rating

7


Determination of interest rate: This would entail the following sequence of actions.

Collect data regarding financial health evaluation

Noting down of credit rating

Referencing the banks’ interest rate guidelines circular

Choosing the interest rate from the circular on the basis of financial health and credit

rating

3.2 CREDIT REPORT AND CREDIT RATING

The credit report is an important determinant of an individual's financial credibility. They

are used by lenders to judge a person's creditworthiness. They also help the person

concerned to narrow down on the financial problem areas.

Credit report is a document, which comprises detailed information about the credit

payment history of an applicant. It is mostly used by the lenders to determine the credit

worthiness of an applicant. The business credit reports provide information on the

background of a company. This assists one to take crucial business related decisions.

People can also assess the amount of business risk associated with a company and then

decide whether they would be comfortable in providing them with credit facilities. The

degree of interest that would be shown by investors in their company can also be gauged

from the business credit reports as they can get an idea of the conception of their

customers regarding themselves. Since these records are updated at regular intervals of

time they enable people to identify the risk levels associated with a business as well as its

future. These reports also allow businesses to get detailed information about the financial

status of business partners and suppliers.

What Is A Corporate Credit Rating?

Ratings can be assigned to short-term and long-term debt obligations as well as securities,

loans, preferred stock and insurance companies. Long-term credit ratings tend to be more

indicative of a country's investment surroundings and/or a company's ability to honor its

debt responsibilities. . The ratings therefore assess an entity's ability to pay debts.

There are various organization who perform credit rating for various business

organization.

Union Bank of India follows a finely defined Credit Rating Model for assessing the

creditworthiness of the applicant. The credit rating model asses various aspects of the

projects and assigns scores against them thereby determining the risk level involved with

the project.

It is divided in Four Sections:

17

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/preferredstock.asp


1. Rating of the Borrower

Financial Risk

Management Risk

2. Market Condition/ Demand Situation

3. Rating of the Facility

4. Business Consideration

5. Cash Flow related parameters

1) Rating of the Borrower: This part of credit rating model deals with assessing the

financial and managerial ability of the borrower. The financial ability of the firm is

derived by calculating ratios that determine the short term and long term financial

position of the firm

Short term ratios include Current Ratio, determines the liquidity position of the

company over a period of one year. The current ratio is an indication of a firm's market

liquidity and ability to meet creditor's demands. It is excess of current assets over current

liability. If current liabilities exceed current assets (the current ratio is below 1), then the

company may have problems meeting its short-term obligations. If the current ratio is too

high, then the company may not be efficiently using its current assets.

According to the guidelines given to UBI the ideal level is at 1.33:1 however the

acceptable level is at 1.17:1.

However at times current ratio may not be a true indicator, the current ratio for road

projects is very high but this does not indicate that the company is not using its assets

well but the ratio is high because the activity involves more in dealing with current assets.

Hence it is important for the evaluator to understand the nature of the industry.

Long term ratio include Debt Equity Ratio is a financial ratio indicating the relative

proportion of equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. This ratio is also known

as Risk, Gearing or Leverage. A high debt equity ratio is not preferable by an investor as

the company already has aquired high amount of funds from market thereby reducing the

investor share over the securities available, inreasing the risk.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareholders'_equity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_ratio

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_liquidity

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_liquidity


It is aslo important for the lender bank to assess the firms debt paying capacity over a

period. Such capacity is derived by calculating ratio like Debt Serice Coverage Ratio

minimum acceptable level is 1.50.

It also necessary for the lender to determine the ability of the firm to achieve the

projected growth by evaluating the projected sales with actuals.However such parameter

remains non applicable if the business is new.

Finacial risk evaluation is oly one of the parameter and not thje only parameter for

determining the risk level. It is important to evaluate the Management Risk also while

evaluating the risk relaing to borrower.

It is the management of the company that acts as guiding force for the firm. The key

managerial personnel should bear the capacity to bail out the company frm crisis

situation. Inorder to remain competitive it is essential to take initiatives. Such skills are

developed over years of experience, thus for better performance it is required to have a

team of well qualified and expirienced personnel.

2) Market potential / Demand Situation

A Company does not operate in isolation there are various market forces that acts in

either favourable or unfavraouble manner towards its performance. Thus the rating would

not give true picture if does take market or demand situation in consideration.

The demand supply situation / market Potential plays an important role in determining

the growth level of the company like

i) Level of competition : monolpoly , favourable , unfavourable

ii) seasonality in demand : affected by short term seasonality, long term seasonality or

may not be affected by seasonality in demand.

iii)Raw Material Availablity:

iv)Locational Issues like proximity to market, inputs, infratstructure: Favourable,

neutral, unfavourable.

v)Technology ie, proven Technology- not to be changed in immeditate future,

technology undergo change, outdated technolgy.

vi)Capacity utilisation

19


3)Rating of the Facility:

The company can start functioning only after completing statutary obligations laid down

by the governing authority. Such statutary obligation involves obtaining licenses, permits

for ensuring smooth operations. Perparation and Submission of Finacial Statements,

Stock statements in the standard format within the given time schedule.

4)Business Consideration:

The length of relationship with the bank enables the lender to assess the previous

performance of the account holder. A good track record acts in the favour of the

applicant, however a under perfomance make the lender more vigiliant.

The income value to the bank also given due consideration.

Thus Credit Rating of the Business takes into consideration various aspects that directly

or indiretly bears an effects the performance of the business.

After evaluating the risk level involved the lender bank decided on lending Interest Rate.

In UBI they are catagorised in 9 segements

1. lowest Risk CR-1

2. Low Risk CR-2

3. Medium Risk CR- 3

4. Moderate/ Satisfatory Risk CR- 4

5. Fair Risk CR- 5

6. High Risk CR- 6

7. Higher Risk CR- 7

8. highest risk CR- 8

9. NPA CR- 9

In UBI, a business receiving Credit Rating above level 6 are not considered good from

point of investment and thus are avoided.

20


3.3 DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE

The interest rate is determined from the interest rate guidelines circular. This

circular is regularly updated to reflect the bank’s latest credit policies. The rupee

credit is based on BPLR and the foreign exchange loans are based on LIBOR.

The guidelines define how much interest rate is to be assigned for a particular credit

rating and credit duration. However, credit rating and its use in determining interest

rate is a theoretical concept and the bank may allow a reduction in interest rate

under the following conditions:

Good Client

The organization is a long term client and brings good business to the bank.

The organization’s actions show that it intends to become a long term customer of

the bank

Banking Consortium

The organization is seeking credit from a consortium of banks. In some cases like

this, the lead bank might decide the interest rate and all the member banks of the

consortium follow this interest rate.

3.4 TERM SHEET

Following a favrouable feasibility check, credit rating the next step is preparing term

sheet . A Term Sheet is breif document that provides details on aspects like:

Account Details

Financial highlights for immediate previous two audited years and projection for

proceeding year

Nature of Project

Cost of Project

Means of finace

1. Nature of Facility

2. Purpose

3. Tennure of Term Loan

4. Interest rate Reset

5. Margin

6. Interest Rate, Commission

Door to Door Tenor ie.the period within which the entire amount I sto be

disbursed.

o Repayment Terms

o Prime Security

o Collateral Security

o Upfront fees ie the charges levied by the bank for processing the

documents.

3.5 PROPOSAL

An approved term sheet leads to preparation proposal. A proposal is prepared in standard

format, this enables the bank to keep a proper track record and also facilitates proper

comparision. A proposal a full fledged document providing details on project submitted

information on nature of securities given in lieu of the Loan.they are of two types Prime

securities, Collateral Secuties

22


Prime Securities: Pari Passu is a term used in banking transactions which means that the

charge to be created is in continuation of an earlier charge which might be held by the

same institution or by an other institution.

Collateral Securities: In lending agreements, collateral is a borrower's asset that is

forfeited to the lender if the borrower is insolvent --- that is, unable to pay back the

principal and interest on the loan. When insolvent, the borrower is said to default on the

loan, in which case the lender becomes the owner of the collateral. It includes details on

whereby a bank, acting at the request of a customer, undertakes to pay a third party by a

given date, on documents being presented in compliance with the conditions laid down.

Letter of Guarantee

A letter from a bank stating that a customer owns a particular security and that the bank

will guarantee delivery of the security. A letter of guarantee is used by an investor who is

writing call options when the underlying stock is not in his or her brokerage account. A

Call Option is an agreement that gives an investor the right (but not the obligation) to buy

a stock, bond, commodity, or other instrument at a specified price within a specific time

period.

Financial Guarantee:

A non-cancelable indemnity bond guaranteeing the timely payment of principal and

interest due on securities by the maturity date. If the issuer defaults, the insurer will

pay a fixed sum of money to holders of the securities. Financial guarantees are

similar to a Standby Letter of Credit, but are issued by an insurance company. A

Standby Letter of Credit is a form of insurance on an underlying agreement or

obligation (contract), insuring all parties to the contract against failure to perform or

pay on the part of one or another party to the contract. Standbys are issued by banks.

EVALUATION OF INDUSTRY

Thermal power stations constituting over 66% of the aggregate installed generation

capacity and despite being relatively less environment-friendly as compared to hydro-

electric projects (HEPs), thermal power plants offer certain advantages over HEPs as

mentioned below:

Lesser implementation time-frame: 2.5-3.5 years as compared to 5-6 years for HEPs;

Ability to function as base load power plants as compared to HEPs which serve as peak-

load power plants;

Standardized generation technology: independent of project site;

Absence of seasonal variations in power generation;

Location flexibility: Can be located either close to load-centre or at fuel pit-head while

HEPs are site-specific and often located in challenging geographical terrain.

Demand-Supply Scenario

Power supply position in the country has worsened over the last few years with growth in

power demand outstripping new capacity addition with peak power deficit being worst

having peak deficit of 13.5% in 2006-07. The energy deficit at the national level has

increased from 7.5% in 2003-04 to 9.9% in 2006-07

Projected Power Requirement beyond 2011-12 till 2021-22

With rapid growth of the economy, power requirement is projected to increase

significantly over the next decade with per capita power consumption expected to

increase from ~612 kWh at present to about 1000 kWh by 2012 (GoI’s target for 100%

electrification).

33


Given the prevalent demand supply deficit scenario and projected growth in

power requirement, huge addition in generation capacity is required in the country

over the coming decade. Consequently, there exists an attractive business and

market opportunity for establishment of power generation plants in the country,

especially in the northern & western regions of the country.

Target States for Power Sale

In view of the adverse power deficit scenario in western and northern region as

mentioned in the previous sections, both these regions have been identified as target

markets for ultimate sale of JKL Pvt. Ltd power.

Interpretation

35


Project is able to withstand the operations at a lower tariff and its debt servicing capacity

(Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33) is satisfactory.

Increase in Primary Fuel price by 5%

Sensitivity has also been carried out for increase in the fuel prices by 5% over the base

case numbers. The Project is able to sustain the increased fuel cost and its debt servicing

capacity remains satisfactory with an average DSCR of 1.58 and minimum DSCR of

1.37. The impact of any fuel price escalation on the projected financials is partly

mitigated on account of the pass-through effect in the power sale tariff applicable to

Gridco. It may however be noted that since most of the coal requirement for the Project

will be met from the captive coal block allotted to the company, the company will be able

to have a better control over the coal price thereby reducing it exposure to any escalations

in coal price.

Decrease in Plant PLF by 5%

Under the base case projections, the operations of the project have been projected at a

PLF of 80%. Sensitivity has been carried out for the scenario of the Project running at a

lower PLF i.e. 75%. It has been observed that the Project is able to withstand the

operations at a lower PLF and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.49, Min

DSCR: 1.29) is satisfactory. Considering the better operational performance of existing

IPPs in the country vis a vis state sector projects, the situation of a PLF lower than 80%

seems unlikely.

Increase in RTL Interest Rate by 1%

Sensitivity has also been carried out for increase in the RTL interest rate by 1% over the

base case interest rate of 11.5% for Senior debt and 13.5% for Subordinated Debt. It is

observed that the Project is able to sustain the increased interest costs comfortably and its

debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34) remains satisfactory.

As can be seen above, the debt serviceability of the project is comfortable adverse

sensitivities considered. Hence, it can be concluded that the proposed power project will

36


be able to withstand adverse circumstances and the debt serviceability is satisfactory,

even under adverse circumstances.

Decrease in Power Sale Tariff through PTC by 5% during Year 1-5

Under the base case projections, tariff for power sale to PTC has been maintained at Rs.

2.60 per kWh for Year 1-5 and Rs 2.34 per kWh for subsequent years. Sensitivity has

been carried out for the scenario of the power being sold at 5% lower than the base case

tariff i.e. Rs. 2.47 per kWh. As seen above, the Project is able to withstand the operations

at a lower tariff and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33)

is satisfactory.

Increase in Project cost by 5%

A sensitivity has been carried out for 5% increase in the works cost which have estimated

at Rs. 2294 crore in the base case. The Project is able to sustain a 5% escalation in capital

cost comfortably and its debt servicing capacity (Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34)

remains satisfactory.

KEY POINTS:

1. Sensitivity analysis was done. The results of which are as follows:-

When the power sale tariff to “PTC” (PTC India Ltd) are decreased by 5% the

Average DSCR: 1.56, Min DSCR: 1.33 . This is above the benchmark level.

When project cost is increased by 5% Average DSCR: 1.54, Min DSCR: 1.34.

This is above benchmark levels and is considered favourable.

In case of increase in RTL Interest Rate by 1% the Average DSCR: 1.54, Min

DSCR: 1.34) remains satisfactory

When the primary fuel prices increase by 5% the Average DSCR of 1.58 and

Minimum DSCR of 1.37 remains satisfactory.

As can be seen above, the debt serviceability of the project is comfortable when adverse

sensitivities considered. Hence, it can be concluded that the proposed power project will

be able to withstand adverse circumstances.

37


2. The profitability estimates are sensitive to fluctuation in sales.

3. The projected Debt Equity ratio and Current Ratio are at satisfactory level. As the

project implementation is yet to commence, offering any comments on financial

indicators would not be relevant at this juncture as the same would go on

changing.

4. According to internal credit rating, the company has been rated as CR-3.

5. Primary fuel requirements for the Project will be met with from the Coal linkage

from Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) and Captive Mandakini coal block in

Talcher coalfields, Orissa .JKL Pvt. Ltd. will enter into separate long-term Fuel

Supply Agreements with the Mining JVC and MCL for supply of coal from the

captive block and coal linkage respectively, taken together would be adequate for

requirement of proposed 600 MW for its entire project life.

6. The company has already into Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with Gridco

for sale of 25% of the power.

Company has also entered into HOA(Heads of Agreement) with PTC for sale of balance

75% power at reasonably attractive tariff.

7. Both Gridco and PTC would open LC in favor of JKL Pvt. Ltd for timely

payment of invoices.

8. Even with an increase of 1% in the interest rate, average & minimum DSCR are

comfortable.

29. Recommendations

JKL Pvt. Ltd. is being promoted by BCJ Group, implementing a 600 MW pit-head

coal-based power project in Angul district of Orissa. The project capacity is proposed

to be enhanced to 1200 MW through implementation of a second unit of 600 MW at a

later stage. Salient features of the proposed project, are as under:

38


1. Proven track record of promoters [JPL along with other group / investment

companies of BCJ group] - in running profitable business operations and adequate

financial strength to meet the equity requirements for the project;

2. Assured fuel at reasonable cost – fuel from allocated captive coal block adjacent

to project site along with additional long-term coal linkage from MCL.

Captive coal source will protect JKL Pvt.Ltd from fuel price fluctuations and make the

power cost competitive;

3. Significant progress in project development activities as under.

State support for land acquisition, water allocation and other developmental aspects of

the project secured through MoU; Section (4) notification for acquisition of land issued;

In-principle allocation of water sufficient to meet project requirements;

Grant of various project clearances / approvals, including TOR for EIA study

from MoEF, GoI;

4. Power off-take arrangement- Execution of PPA with Gridco for sale of 25%

project capacity and execution of HOA for sale of balance power through PTC.

Analysis of the project development structure and projected financial performance of the

Project, based on the information pertaining to the project cost, financing plan, and

prevalent market conditions while a sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to test

the robustness of project financial in respect of key business and performance parameters.

The projected financials of the project are reasonably comfortable under different

sensitivity scenarios as required to service the project debt over proposed tenor.

5. Based on the projected financials, sensitivity analysis and risks factors, SBI

Capital Markets has viewed the proposed project of JITPL, as financially viable.

SBICAP has further stated that keeping in view the proven credentials of the

project promoters, progress achieved in project development and projected

financial performance of the project, the project appears to be bankable and

accordingly, the proposal may be considered favorably for final sanction of RTL

and Subordinated debt.

Conclusion

Credit Appraisal is a process of appraising the credit worthiness of loan applicants. The

funds of depositor’s i.e general public are mobilized by means of such advance /

investment. Thus it extremely important for the lender bank to assess the risk associated

with credit, thereby ensure the security for the funds deposited by the depositors.

In UBI the credit appraisal is done by thorough study of the project which involves

Following.

1) Evaluation of Management: A detailed study about the promoters

is carried out in order to ensure promoters are experienced in the

line of business and are capable to implement and run the project

2) Technical Feasibility: A detailed study about the technical

aspects is done to determine the technical soundness of the

project

3) Financial Viability: A detailed study relating to financial

viability of the project is done; thereby ensuring that project will

generate sufficient surplus to repay the lan installment and

interest

4) Risk analysis: it determines the risk associated with the project

this is done by performing a Sensitivity analysis and Credit

Rating. With Sensitivity Analysis the projects capacity to service

debts under worsened conditions is determined. Credit rating,

provides rating for various parameters like management,

financial, market and so, thereby determine the credit worthiness

of the borrower

5) It is on the basis of the credit risk level, collateral securities to be

given by the borrower are determined.

This shows Union Bank of India has sound system for credit appraisal.
