Description

Project Finance plays a pivotal role in enabling the development of large-scale infrastructure projects such as roads, airports, power plants, and renewable energy installations. Unlike traditional corporate finance, project finance relies on the cash flows generated by the project itself, making the structure, risk allocation, and financial viability critically important.

Inside Project Finance is a concept-driven course that introduces learners to the essential building blocks of project finance. Whether you're a student, early-career professional, or simply curious about how complex infrastructure deals are structured and financed, this course offers clear, practical insights without requiring prior experience in the field.

Participants will explore the lifecycle of a project—from conceptualization and feasibility studies to financial structuring, execution, and operations. You’ll learn about Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), debt-equity structuring, concession agreements, key financial metrics like DSCR and IRR, and the importance of security mechanisms such as escrow accounts and debt reserve buffers.

Risk identification and mitigation is another key focus, covering everything from construction and land acquisition to operational and market risks.

Designed in a clear, example-led format, this course builds your understanding step by step, using real-world illustrations to make each concept memorable. By the end, you'll have a solid grasp of how infrastructure projects are evaluated, financed, and made bankable.

Who this course is for:

  • Graduate and postgraduate students in finance, commerce & economics
  • Early-career professionals in banking, consulting, infrastructure development, credit analysis
  • Anyone curious about how large-scale projects are evaluated, financed, and structured
