Industry REC joins with IIFCL, Hudco for power projects funding NEW DELHI: State-run Rural Electrification Corporation has entered into agreement with two other PSUs, IIFCL and Hudco, for lending funds to greenfield power projects of over 1,000 MW, proposed to be set up under public-private partnership. Sources said the consortium would provide up to Rs 4,000 crore to each project. The move is to ensure that REC is well positioned to provide speedy consortium refinancing for large power infrastructure projects, they said. The Power Ministry is believed to have asked REC and Power Finance Corporation to mobilise resources to ensure viable projects do not suffer for want of funds. The total fund requirement for the power sector has been assessed at around Rs 10 lakh crore f or the 11th Plan. India Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd (IIFCL) has earlier said it provided Rs 1,800 crore loan to the Tata Group-promoted Mundra ultra mega power project. The government targets to add 78,577 MW in the 11th five year plan to the ex isting installed capacity of over 1,30,000 MW. Of the over 78,000 MW, about 39,500 MW is required to be added by the Centre, while an additional 10,700 MW is expected to come from private players. States are likely to add 27,900 MW power in the 11th plan . The Working Group on power for the 11th Plan has estimated that the fund requirement for creation of projected capacity expansion alone will be about Rs 4,10,000 crore. - PTI
