Status of the project • The project has achieved COD on 22.09.2011 against

scheduled COD of 08.12.2008. • Due to the delay in project completion because of various

reasons like land acquisition, forest clearance etc , the project has suffered cost overrun.

• The company is presently charging toll only for length of 39.814 km and balance stretch of 0.986 km is yet to be provided by NHAI, after which 100% toll can be charged against existing 75% of actual toll charge. The handing over is expected within one year.

• Further Post-COD, due to delay in infrastructure developments around the project stretch, the toll collection is less than the estimated value.

• As per provisional balance sheet of FY 2015, the total toll collection is Rs 24.88 crore.

Avenues for Recovery:-

a) The project is generating cash flows, which may increase once balance stretch

of 0.986 km land is handed over by NHAI, as the toll rate will increase by

25% .

b) The project may also be re-structured for which the promoter has given a proposal where he has indicated that they will be able to repay the full debt if

the existing repayment is rescheduled till 2025-26 at an interest rate of 10.50 %

p.a.. c) As the project has achieved COD, the lenders have a protection to get atleast

90% of debt due in the event of termination by NHAI due to concessionaire

event of default.

• The project was bid keeping in mind the facilities of aggregates from enumerated stone quarries in possession of Government of Bihar, which was later not awarded. This led to an increase in cost for procuring the aggregates from neighbouring states and the issue could not be resolved, for which there was no provision of extra lead of aggregates in the Concession Agreement

• In August 2014, the concessionaire issued notice to the Authority by calling upon the Authority to cure the defaults including non-payment of tranche of grant of Rs 105,785 crore, non payment of additional cost for the procurement of longer leads amounting to Rs 5.63 crore, failing to procure entire right-of-way within 90 days from appointed date (14.10.2013), etc.

• Subsequently, in February 2015, the concessionaire issued termination notice to the authority citing authority default and has claimed Rs 600 crore in accordance with provisions of concession agreement which includes debt due and 150% of adjusted equity.

• The concessionaire thereafter filed a Writ Petition and Interlocutory Application in High Court of Patna seeking relief that the Authority shall pay the termination payment to the concessionaire.

• Meanwhile in June 2015, authority also terminated the concession agreement on 10.06.2015, stating concessionaire default of non-achievement of mile stones.

• However High Court of Patna on 22,09.2015 based on IA by the concessionaire, has set aside the termination notice issued by the Authority in June 2015 with liberty to the respondents to take recourse to dispute resolution as defined in Article 44 of the concession agreement.

b) The Lenders have decided to file suit in DRT, against the company/guarantors for recovery of the debt.

c) To invoke the guarantees available to the lenders. d) Substitution of Concessionaire.
