Project Structuring & JV Alliances

We help entrepreneurs and companies foray into renewable power sector through facilitation of technology and investor partnerships. Based on the requirement, we either explore an international or a local Joint Venture partner. Our transaction advisory services also encompass financial and legal structuring of the deal. Incase of individual entity, financial structuring is part of the Detailed Project Report that we deliver. The DPR serves as an base document for financial closure in such cases.

Financial Closure (and dealing with financial institutions)

We undertake financial evaluation of the project to assess the financial viability/soundness of the project from the point of view of developers and financial institutions. For evaluation of a project, the following aspects assume significant importance

• Capital investment
  
• Construction period and phasing of expenditure
  
• Economic life of the project
  
• Financial package i.e. amount of debt/equity, interest rate, Moratorium period, repayment period and repayment schedule, Amount and timing of cash flows,

Our professionals have the experience of facilitating financial closure with leading institutions such as IREDA, SBI Capital Markets, IDBI, IDFC, Axis Bank etc.

As part of this service or as an exclusive service, we also manage subsidies, concessions and incentives, depreciation provision; tax holidays (taxation)

Subsidy Claims

Subsidies are an important aspect of renewable power projects and Greenstratos supports entrepreneurs and companies by taking charge of realizing subsidies, thus enabling them to focus on project execution.

We combine our extensive network with professional approach to ensure quick completion of this process. In projects such as Hydro, subsidies form an important component not only from an institutional requirement perspective but also from a cashflow perspective.

Thus, through faster realization of part subsidy during the execution phase, the entrepreneur or the company benefits from cashflows as well as from interest gains. Given the time gains, overall costs are low incase of outsourcing subsidy claims activity rather than managing this task inhouse.
