“An agreement to this effect was signed between Agra Etawah Tollways Ltd, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) formed to undertake the project and consortium of bankers led by Oriental Bank of Commerce and other participating lenders ...on December 29, 2012,” the company said in a statement.

The consortium of banks are Union Bank of India, Bank of India, India Infrastructure Finance Company Ltd, Central Bank of India, State Bank of Patiala and Axis Bank, it added.

The company, however, did not disclose the debt—equity ratio of the project.

“The successful financial tie up signifies the reflection of trust the market has placed in our company,” Ramky Infra’s Managing Director Y R Nagaraja said in the statement.
