India has provided support to public-private partnerships in infrastructure through a variety of instruments, frameworks and institutions, prominent among these being the Viability Gap Financing (VGF) scheme, the India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL), the India Infrastructure Project Development Fund (IIPDF), frameworks for setting up of Infrastructure Debt Funds (IDFs) and most recently the discussion on setting up Infrastructure Investment Trusts.
This webinar will present an overview of the debt and other support instruments specifically used by the IIFCL in India, associated policies of the Government and the experience so far on these. It will also touch very briefly upon newer initiatives in this área such as Infrastructure Debt Funds.
The objective is to disseminate knowledge on the Indian experience to policy makers, practitioners, consultants and experts working on similar mechanisms in other developing countries.
