Banking & Project Finance

HSVR Law Offices advises banks, financial institutions, NBFCs, bondholders, private credit funds, private equity investors, and borrowers on a wide array of banking and project finance transactions. Our team understands the commercial drivers behind financing structures and the regulatory architecture within which they operate in India.

We assist in structuring and documenting term loans, working capital facilities, project finance, acquisition finance, structured and mezzanine financing, external commercial borrowings, and syndicated facilities. Our work covers both secured and unsecured lending, domestic and cross‑border facilities, and transactions involving multiple tranches and inter‑creditor arrangements.

In project finance, we advise on financing of infrastructure and energy projects across sectors such as roads, ports, power, renewables, urban infrastructure, and industrial facilities. We work on security creation over land, plant and machinery, receivables, shares, and other assets; sponsor support arrangements; escrow mechanisms; and step‑in rights and substitution arrangements. Our drafting aims to clearly allocate risk among lenders, sponsors, contractors, and offtakers.

Our team also handles debt restructurings and refinancings, including restructuring under RBI frameworks, one‑time settlements, inter‑creditor agreements, and negotiation of revised repayment terms. We advise on enforcement strategies, security realisation, and coordination with insolvency proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code where required.

Regulatory compliance is an integral part of our banking and finance work. We counsel clients on FEMA and RBI regulations, external commercial borrowing norms, priority sector and exposure limits, KYC and anti‑money laundering requirements, and sector‑specific lending guidelines. We also support banks and NBFCs on internal policy frameworks, documentation suites, and standardisation of security and facility documentation.

When disputes arise in relation to financing arrangements, HSVR Law Offices works closely with its dispute‑resolution and insolvency teams. We represent lenders and borrowers before DRTs, commercial courts, NCLT, and other forums on enforcement of security, recovery actions, and challenges to regulatory or contractual actions. By bringing together transaction and dispute experience, we can anticipate issues at the drafting stage and handle them effectively if litigation becomes unavoidable.

Our objective is to support efficient capital deployment, risk management, and regulatory comfort for all stakeholders in a transaction. Whether acting for lenders or borrowers, we focus on clear documentation, workable covenants, and practical solutions that support long‑term banking relationships.
