NEW DELHI: HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh will present a blueprint to finance the country’s ambitious plan to build new infrastructure worth one trillion dollars during the Twelfth Five Year Plan soon after the next government takes charge.With infrastructure building the major plank of both the BJP and Congress election manifestos to revive growth, the report by the high level panel led by Parekh is likely to be one of the first major action plans to come up for consideration in the new government's first 100 days."Policies to revive growth in most emerging markets , including India, will have to be rooted in increasing investments, particularly in infrastructure," Finance Minister P Chidambaram said this Sunday at a meeting of the Asian Development board in Kazakhstan.In the last few years, infrastructure projects across sectors have suffered significant delays and the government has struggled to award new projects in sectors like highways as private developers have stayed away. The UPA had set up the high-level committee on financing infrastructure in 2010, under former RBI deputy governor Rakesh Mohan. But Mohan subsequently stepped down from its helm and was replaced by HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh in July 2012.The Deepak Parekh committee has been tasked with estimating the investments to be made by the public and private sectors in major core sectors and suggest areas that are suitable for public and private investments. It is also expected to suggest changes in the business environment and the capital markets framework to facilitate higher flows of savings into infrastructure projects.While the committee had submitted an interim report to the Centre in late 2012, it is now close to completing deliberations on all its terms of reference and is expected to wrap up a comprehensive and final report in the coming week, said a senior government official aware of the development.“We have agreed to present our recommendations for infrastructure building and financing to the next government and hope to do this within its first 100 days,” said a senior industry official, representing the private sector on the committee.The committee includes leading banker Uday Kotak, major infrastructure players like GMR Group’s GM Rao and GVK Group’s Sanjay Reddy, global investment bank Goldman Sachs’ country head along with top bosses from major financiers like Life Insurance Corporation of India, State Bank of India ICICI Bank and IDFC In early 2010, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that investment in infrastructure will need to expand to about US $ 1 trillion or Rs 45 lakh crore during the Twelfth Plan period of 2012-17 and the panel’s most important objective was to delineate a clear strategy for this. The government had hoped that half of this corpus or $500 billion of capital for infrastructure development would come from the private sector.However, industry representatives had expressed reservations in the committee’s earlier meetings about India’s ability to meet this trillion dollar goal, not in the least because of India’s shaky investment climate in recent years and the stretched balance sheets of most major domestic infrastructure players due to tardy clearances stalling existing investment plans.Within the committee, Kotak has been tasked with suggesting steps to improve equity flows into infra projects and IDFC executive chairman Rajiv Lall is examining issues related to debt financing and taxation of core projects.In the period between 2007 and 2012, around Rs 19 lakh crore was invested in infrastructure, with the private sector pitching in with over 37% of investments, compared to 22% in the preceding five-year period.
