As <strong>for</strong> 2012-13,IRFC's borrowing programme iskept at Rs 15,000 crore,l although tower than 2011-12but remain high compared withborrowing programmes <strong>of</strong> 2007·Iexpenditure requirement <strong>of</strong>Railways however because <strong>of</strong>lower funds requirement byMoR, IRFC borrowed only08 to 2010-11. In line withIncrease In borrowingrequirement <strong>of</strong> IRFC, MoR hasbeen infusing capital in IRFC toenable IRFC to maintaingearing at moderate levels.IRFC has been borrowing fundsat competitive rates Vis·a-Vissimilarly rated players on theback <strong>of</strong> its sovereign ownership,Source: Company, Debtonnet, RBIaccess to diverse sources <strong>of</strong>funds including low costsubsidised funding avenues (tax-free bonds). IRFC mobilised Rs.14,341 crore in 2011"12 on weightedaverage cost <strong>of</strong> funds <strong>of</strong> 8.8% against mobilization <strong>of</strong> Rs.9,814 crore in 2010·11 on weighted average cost<strong>of</strong> funds <strong>of</strong> 7.5%. The increase In cost <strong>of</strong> funds In 2011·12 was mainly led by increase in systemic Interestrates. While on-lending these funds to MoR, IRFC maintains a gross Interest spread <strong>of</strong> around 50-60 bps(spread ranged 50-60 bps during 2004-05 to 2011-12) which has resulted in stable net interest marginsover the years <strong>for</strong> the corporation. Going <strong>for</strong>ward, Increasing fund requirement <strong>of</strong> MoR<strong>and</strong> IRFC's ability tomobilize the same at competitive rates are likely to ensure adequate business volumes <strong>for</strong> the companyover medium to long term.
Asset quality pr<strong>of</strong>ile favourableGiven that mosj <strong>of</strong> its lending Is to the MoR, IRFC continues to maintain a tow credit risk pr<strong>of</strong>ile, as evidentfrom its nil non-per<strong>for</strong>ming assets (NPAs) as on March 31, 2012. Besides the MaR, tRFC also lends toRVNL, an SPV <strong>of</strong> the MoR that undertakes construction <strong>of</strong> new railway lines, bridges, <strong>and</strong> rail links to port'>IRFC's loans to RVNL Increased from Rs. 968 crore as on March 31, 2007 to Rs. 1,854 crore as on March31, 2012, <strong>and</strong> accounted <strong>for</strong> around 34% <strong>of</strong> IRFC's net worth as on March 31, 2012. However, ICR/\expects IRFC's credit risk pr<strong>of</strong>ile to remain low owing to majority <strong>of</strong> lending to MoR <strong>and</strong> the supportiveMemor<strong>and</strong>um <strong>of</strong> Underst<strong>and</strong>ing between RVNL <strong>and</strong> MoR <strong>for</strong> the re-payment <strong>of</strong> RVNL's borrowings whicllIs likely to ensure timely re-payment by RVNL to IRFC. Any material change from such repaymentarrangement may entail a review <strong>of</strong> the assigned ratings.Capital structure likely to remain at prudent level as MOR likely to continuoinfusing capitalIRFC's gearing has been around 10 times (9.3 times as on Mar-12 <strong>and</strong> 8.9 times as on Mar-11) over <strong>last</strong>few years. Increasing business volumes (increase In lease disbursements to MoR) <strong>and</strong> low internal capitalgeneration due to high tax rate <strong>and</strong> dividend payouts has resulted in pressure on capital structure <strong>of</strong> thecorporation. However, to maintain its gearing levels below 10 times, IRFC has been receiving frequentcapital infusion from MoR (Rs. Rs.1,852 crore 1 over <strong>last</strong> four years, 2008-09 to 2011-12). Further, given largeborrowing programme in 2012-13, IRFC wilt need further equity infusion from MoR to keep Its gearing atmoderate lever; capital support from MoR has been <strong>for</strong>thcoming over <strong>last</strong> few years.In addition. as per Ministry <strong>of</strong> Finance (MoF) guidelines <strong>for</strong> Public Sector Entities (PSEs). IRFC is requiredto pay dividend equal to 20% <strong>of</strong> paid up capital or 20% <strong>of</strong> net pr<strong>of</strong>its, whichever is higher. Whlle during2011·12 IRFC paid dividend <strong>of</strong> Rs.100 crore (around 20% <strong>of</strong> PAT or 5% <strong>of</strong> IRFC's paid up capital) lowerthan the guidelines given IRFC's capital requirement <strong>for</strong> growth plans <strong>and</strong> as MaR' has infused capital over<strong>last</strong> four years at par value (without any share premium). Going <strong>for</strong>ward, though IRFC does not intend toIncrease dividend payment significantly from the current levels, but if it declares dividend in line with theMoF guidelines, its abfltty to generate capital from internal sources may be significantly impacted. But withthe regular capital Infusion from MoR, JRFC's gearing is not expected to increase from the current levels inthe medium term.Well-diversified borrowing mix a credit positiveHistorically IRFC has been able to raise funds at competitlve cost from domestic <strong>and</strong> international markets,Its borrowing pr<strong>of</strong>ile improved further In recent years with access to tax free bonds- around half <strong>of</strong> freshborrowing <strong>of</strong> 2011-12 was raised through tax free bonds (interest rate lower by 100-200 bps than taxablebonds). IRFC was given approval to raise tax free bonds <strong>of</strong> Rs 10,000 crore in 2011·12 <strong>of</strong> which it raisedRs 7,000 crore in 2011·12. In 2012·13 Budget also IRFC got tax free bonds allocation <strong>of</strong> Rs. 10,000 crore<strong>and</strong> Its borrowing programme is Rs 15,000 crore hence sizeable part <strong>of</strong> current year's borrowings areexpected to met through tax free bonds which will help corporation to keep lower cost <strong>of</strong> funds.Additionally, IRFC has been raising funds through longer tenure instruments (up to 25 years, weightedaverage maturity <strong>of</strong> fresh borrowings raised in 2011-12 was around 11 years) which enable it to maintain acom<strong>for</strong>table liquidity pr<strong>of</strong>ile. Overall, IRFC's well-diversified borrowing pr<strong>of</strong>ile is a credit positive <strong>and</strong> hashelped the corporation bring down Its cost <strong>of</strong> funds while keeping its asset-liability mismatches wl1hinmanageable limits.Liquidity pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> IRFC is determined by the tenure <strong>of</strong> Lease agreement (primary lease period <strong>of</strong> 15 years<strong>and</strong> weighted average repayment tenure around 9-10 years) against which IRFC borrows <strong>for</strong> similar tenureliabilities (on an average 8-12 years) which Is likely to result com<strong>for</strong>table liquidity pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> IRFC. Further,as regard marginal tenure mismatch in Its assets <strong>and</strong> liabilities, JRFC has managed to maintain com<strong>for</strong>tableliquidity pr<strong>of</strong>ile through principal recoveries from the earlier leases, internal accruals <strong>and</strong> raising short term:;:,:;(·; .. funds.
