Assets and liabilities

THE GOVERNMENT OF India recently an-nounced an asset monetisation planwherein existing public assets worth Rs 6trillionwouldbemonetisedbyleasingthemouttoprivateoperators for fixedtermsTheidentifiedassetsareprimarilyconcentratedin roads railways power oil and gas andtelecoms The lease proceeds are expectedto be used for new infrastructure invest-ment which in turn will contribute to thegovernmentrsquos ambitious Rs 111 trillion in-frastructure investment planThe plan has generated a lot of print

so it isworth discussing its pros and consThough there are many important issuesraised by the plan due to space con-straints I will confine the discussion totwo issues (a)Howmuch should thegov-ernment expect to raise fromtheplan (b)Is theplan likely to increase the efficiencyof the economyIn deciding the amount to bid for leas-

ingrightsbidderscomputethepresentdis-countedvalueof theannual cash flowfromthe asset for the duration of the lease Thebiggest uncertainty in this calculation sur-roundsthecashflowonthesepublicassetsRates of return estimates on public capitalin the US have been estimated to be up-wards of 15 per cent However this is Indiawithitsmyriaduncertaintiesregardingpric-ing bill collection asset quality regulatoryframework as well as policy reversalsConsequently the risk-adjusted returns onpublic assets in India are likely to be lowerthan theUSestimatesTo get a sense of the potential revenues

atstakenote thatwitha10percentannualreal return for30yearsanda5percent realdiscount rate the discounted cash flow onRs6 trillionpublic assets is Rs 96 trillion Adesired cumulated100per cent profit overthe 30 years would imply that investorswouldbidaroundRs48trillionforthe leas-ing rights Small variations in the assump-tions underlying the calculation can pushthe estimated revenue down to Rs 15 tril-lion or up toRs 7 trillionThisrangeof revenueestimatessuggests

that there is significantuncertaintyregard-ing the revenue potential of the plan Butcrucially even in the most optimistic sce-nario revenue generatedby theplan is un-likely to exceed 5 per cent of the govern-mentrsquos overall infrastructure investmenttarget of Rs 111 trillion Hence its revenuepotential is limitedThesecondquestioniswhethertheplan

surrounds the financingof the leasebids Ifbidders finance their bids using domesticsavings there is a clear opportunity cost ofthe plan since these savings would other-wisehavebeeninvestedinalternativeproj-ects Moreover the bidding for scarce do-mesticsavingsbyprospective investorswillalsoraisedomestic interest rateswhichwillput downward pressure on domestic pri-vate investment Itwouldalsobeworth re-minding ourselves that the last round ofPPP-based infrastructure funding routedthrough banks ended up with a heap ofNPAs inpublic sector bankbalance sheetsThe way around this is to welcome

foreign investors to bid for the assets Butthis will require serious political willsince entrenching foreign influence onIndian public assetswill generate contro-versy On this aspect too the announcedplan is low on detailsMore generally the monetisation plan
