Ashoka Belgaum Dharwad Tollway Limited Ashoka Belgaum Dharwad Tollway Limited Instrument Amount Rating Action Long Term – Term Loan Rs. 454.13 crore [ICRA]BBB (Stable) assigned ICRA has assigned rating to the Rs. 454.13 crore1 term loan facilities of Ashoka Belgaum Dharwad Tollway Limited (ABDTL, ’the Company’) as [ICRA]BBB (pronounced as ICRA triple B)†. The long term rating has been assigned stable outlook. The assigned rating derives comfort from the long standing experience of sponsor Ashoka Concessions Limited (ACL, subsidiary of Ashoka Buildcon Limited) in the road construction segment and its healthy financial flexibility that will enable sponsor to support any cash flow shortfall requirements of the project. The assigned rating factors in importance of the project stretch as part of NH-4 connecting cities of Mumbai-Bangalore, established traffic density for the project with the stretch being completed since Q4 FY2014 and tolling for more than four years given provision of tolling during construction. The cash flows of the project are supported by the premium deferment sanction received from NHAI in FY2015 allowing project to defer premiums from FY2015 to FY2025 with total deferment capped at Rs. 200 crore. Further project has been able to reduce its interest costs by refinancing the loans in H1FY2017 supporting overall cash flows. The rating also factors in partial corporate guarantee provided by ACL and ABL to meet any shortfall in bank obligations. ABL and ACL have provided support in the past through unsecured loans to meet cash flow mismatches arising from low toll collection ABDTL also maintains DSRA (Debt Servicing Reserve Account) equivalent to one quarter of debt obligations along with the escrow mechanism through which toll collections are routed. The assigned rating, however, remain constrained by volatility associated with toll collections based on traffic growth and WPI linked toll rate growth. Negative WPI during last year has resulted in negative toll rate hikes for FY2017 and overall WPI remain low for current fiscal as well which would affect hikes for next year. Overall toll collection growth rates at 6.8% in FY2016 and 4.5% in Q1FY2017 have been modest given traffic growth of 3- 4%. The project continue to face inherent risks associated with BoT projects including acceptability of annual toll rate hikes, resistance to pay and traffic diversion risks arising from alternate route. The sponsors are expected to continue to provide financial support to the project as and when required especially during major maintenance and once premium deferment benefit get over. Company Profile ABDTL is a special purpose vehicle of Ashoka Concessions Ltd (ACL), a subsidiary of Ashoka Buildcon Limited (ABL), to undertake construction, conversion to six lanes, operation, and maintenance of the Belgaum Dharwad 79.36 km stretch of National Highway-4 (NH-4) in Karnataka, under the National Highways Development Project Phase V, on a design, build, finance, operate, transfer (DBFOT) basis. The company started tolling on existing 4 lanes from May 2011. The construction started in May 2011 with scheduled construction end date in November 2013. The concession period for the project is 30 years (including 30 months for construction and concession ending in Nov 2041) with an annual grant pay out of Rs 31.00 crore and a 5% increment every year. The project cost of Rs 694 crore was funded through a term loan of Rs 479 crore and rest through equity and internal accruals. The company has taken disbursal of term loan upto Rs. 467.57 crore given part of work not completed due to un- availability of land. The company also got sanction for premium deferment from NHAI in September 2014 for ten years with total deferment not exceeding Rs. 200.00 crore. Sponsor Profile ACL was set up in November 2011 as a subsidiary of ABL; ABL transferred seven BOT projects to ACL. SBI Macquarie was to infuse Rs.800 crore through a stake dilution of 34 per cent in ACL. As on date, SBI Macquarie has infused the entire committed equity of Rs 800 crore in ACL providing them 34% stake while 66% is held by ABL. ACL acts as an exclusive BOT project developer for both ABL and SBI Macquarie. ACL currently holds six operational BOT projects with one project being terminated in April 2016. The six operational projects are Ashoka Highways (Durg) Limited, Ashoka Highways (Bhandara) Limited, Ashoka Dhankuni Kharagpur Tollway Limited, Ashoka Belgaum Dharwad Tollway Limited, Ashoka Sambalpur Baragarh Tollway Limited and Jaora Nayagaon Toll Road Co Pvt Ltd. One of the BOT project, PNG Tollway Limited was 1 100 lakh = 1 crore = 10 million terminated in April 2016. All the six BOT projects held by ACL as on date are fully operational and tolling at full rates mitigating construction risks.

    Uttara Kannada District- Introduction 2013 LAND USE CHANGES WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS IN UTTARA KANNADA DISTRICT Summary: Forest ecosystems in Uttara Kannada district have witnessed major transformations during the post-independence. Uttara Kannada district has the distinction of having highest forest cover among all districts of Karnataka. Land use analysis using temporal remote sensing data reveal distressing trend of deforestation in the district, evident from the reduction of evergreen - semi evergreen forest cover from 67.73% (1973) to 32.08% (2013). Taluk-wise analyses reveal similar trend for evergreen - semi evergreen forest cover during 1973 to 2013; Ankola (75.66 to 55.33%), Bhatkal (61.37 to 30.38%), Honnavar (70.63 to 35.71%), Karwar (72.26 to 59.70%), Kumta (62.89 to 29.38%), Siddapur (71.42 to 23.68), Sirsi (64.89 to 16.78), Supa (93.56 to 58.55%), Yellapur (75.28 to 18.98%), Haliyal (35.45 to 2.59%), Mundgod (2063 to 1.52). Forest cover has declined from 81.75 (1973) to 60.98% (2013) in the coastal zone, 91.45 (1973) to 59.14% (2013) in the Sahyadrian interior, and 69.26 (1973) to 16.76% (2013) in plains zone. Implementation of developmental activities without taking into account the ecological significance of ecosystems, services provided by them in meeting the livelihood of local population has resulted in the degradation of forests. These changes in the landscape structure (through large scale land use changes) have altered functional abilities of an ecosystem evident from lowered hydrological yield, disappearing perennial streams, higher instances of human –animal conflicts, declined ecosystem goods, etc.

  • CHAPTER 2 the District of Dharwad Has Played a Pre-Eminent Role In
    38 Dharwad District CHAPTER 2 HISTORY he district of Dharwad has played a pre-eminent role in the history of Karnataka. It was the T core region of the major dynasties that ruled in Karnataka such as the Badami Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Kalyana Chalukyas and the Adilshahis of Bijapur. To establish their hegemony in the fertile region of Belvola-300, there have been pitched battles between the Seunas and the Hoysalas. Whenever Marathas invaded the South, they made use of the district as the highway. As the hinterland growing cotton, Hubli (Rayara Hubli or Old Hubli) was a major industrial centre. When the British in their early years of trade had founded a factory at Kadwad on the banks of the Kali, the supply of textile to the factory was through old Hubli. There was a land route from Hubli to Kadra, the higher point of the Kali (till which the river was navigable) and it was through this route that merchandise from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur was transported. Products of thousands of textile looms from Dharwad, Bijapur and Raichur could reach the port through Hubli. In the south, Haveri and Byadgi had communication with the Kumta port. Chilly cultivation introduced into India by the Portuguese was raised here and after the British took over, transportation of cotton and chillies was made through Kumta from Byadgi and Haveri. Haveri was the main centre of cardamom processing and for final transport to Kumta. Byadgi chilly earned the name Kumta chilly due to its export from Kumta port. In England Kumta cotton was a recognised variety though it came from the Dharwad region.

  • ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES in KARNATAKA Maruti T
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 4, No 1, 2012 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) ADIL SHAHI MOSQUES IN KARNATAKA Maruti T. Kamble Department of History and Archaeology Karnatak University Dharwad - 580003 Karnataka State, India. E-mail: [email protected] -Abstract- This paper concentrates on the mosques (masjids) of the period of the Adil Shahis, one of the Muslim dynasties which had Turkish origin that ruled Karnataka along with the other parts of the Deccan. A Mosque is primarily a religious building for the performance of the daily prayers for five times, one of the five pillars of Islam. It is thus, the most important building for Muslims. Mosques in Karnataka have a long history and tradition. The Adil Shahis constructed mosques in Maharastra, Andra Pradesh and other parts of Karnataka State. Karnataka “the priceless gift of indulgent nature” is a unique blend of glorious past and rich present, situated on the lower West Coast of South India. It was ruled by the Muslim dynasties from the middle of the 14th century to 18th century. The Adil Shahis ruled Karnataka from 1489 A.D., to 1686 A.D., and wielded a great political power over many parts of Karnataka. The founder Yusuf Adil Shah was the son of Ottoman Sultan Murad II of Turkey. In their period many secular and religious monuments were constructed. The Adil Shahi mosques were not only places of worship but also places for education and social activities. The paper examines the construction of the mosques by the Adil Shahis, their patrons and also the construction pattern, architects, features and its role in the society.
