INREGU is supporting urban project development in finding the right investment strategy and in monitoring the delivery of the project with its financial returns.
Finding the right investment strategy
Monitoring the delivery of the project
Controlling the financial returns
Whether the project is an urban initiative like a new infrastructure (a stadium) or a service (waste management system) in an existing city, or it is a new greenfield city project, we can assist you in defining the investment plan strategy, finding and selecting value added investors, and controlling the execution of the project from an investment perspective.
Our methodology follows the steps below:
1
Capability and resource analysis
2
Investment plan
3
Project plan and partner selection
4
Monitoring of the project progress and execution of the project
5
Operational and maintenance activities
Step 1 : Capability and resource analysis
- Objective: To set up the consortium based on a thorough analysis of local suppliers and partners.
- This step includes:
- To leverage the capability of local ecosystem and create jobs locally.
- To select international partners based on their willingness to set up Joint Ventures with local partners.
- INREGU would be creating and managing the consortium.
Step 2 : Investment plan
- Objectives: To identify the CAPEX needs, calculate expected return and risks, and define investment structure.
- This step includes:
- To identify the CAPEX needs both short and long term based on scope and ambition of the big picture vision.
- To identify the regulatory compliant investment structure and investment vehicles to cater to the investment needs of the project.
- To raise a combination of debt and equity from International financial partners and government agencies.
- To design correct vehicle to make the financing attractive such as PPP, project funding, exchange traded notes, investment fund.
- INREGU would formalize the investment plan and organize its management and implementation. Note that any long term infrastructure project with good yield attracts pension funds, private equity firms, sovereign funds and development banks. When the financial partner provides the initial funding, they should get a long term lease agreement.
Step 3 : Project plan and partner selection
- Objective: To define the project plan, its actors (contractors, suppliers), and the timeline, based on the investment plan.
- This step includes:
- To draft a semester-time frame over the next 10 or 20 years.
- To define the governance structure for the implementation of the project(s).
- To select EPC contractors and other suppliers based on project timeline and risk.
- To get low hanging fruits and start generating early returns.
- On behalf of the consortium, INREGU would be managing the execution of the project plan and participate in the final selection of the contractors and suppliers (after the technical evaluation is done).
Step 4 : Monitoring of the project progress and execution of the project
- Objective: To control the financial execution of the project based on the investment strategy plan.
- This step includes:
- To set KPI to monitor the financial execution of the project.
- To formalize analysis and report back to the financial partners.
- To monitor the progress of the project, and manage the risks of the project to avoid any delays.
- To estimate the funding needs to complete the project.
- On behalf of the consortium, INREGU would control the financial execution of the project and communicate with the financial partners.
Step 5 : Operational and maintenance activities
- Objective: To setup ongoing operational and maintenance activities over years.
- This step includes:
- To train a local partner to manage the operations.
- To ensure the project payback is on track.
- On behalf of the consortium, INREGU would coordinate with the local partner and create monthly follow-up reports and manage yearly audits. The financial return can be from long term lease contracts; so in order to protect cash flow from the lease, the consortium needs to have a say on operational activities and in that respect be able to train local bodies.
