"In comparison with the May 2024 draft proposal of 5% standard asset provisioning for under-construction projects, the 1.0%/1.25% provisioning for Infra/CRE projects under the final regulations provides a much-needed breather to project financiers, including REC and PFC," said Avinash Singh, analyst at
Emkay Global
.
The guidelines, he noted, are positive for project finance lenders and remove the overhang caused by the May 2024 draft directions.
"For power sector NBFCs (REC and PFC), even a minor impact of these directions, in the context of additional standard asset provisioning, will be absorbed through impairment reserves and exert no pressure on PAT or net worth. However, regulatory capital will see some impact—though minimal and likely only from FY27—as the guidelines apply only to loans achieving financial closure on or after October 1, 2025," Singh added.

While the 2024 draft norms had proposed stringent provisioning (up to 5%) and stricter upgrade criteria (360-day performance requirement), the final guidelines have significantly relaxed these provisions, resulting in minimal impact on banks' profitability and balance sheets.
Motilal Oswal also stated that the revised norms will have a negligible impact on bank and NBFC profitability, as the existing loan book remains unaffected.
"The RBI's
final project finance guidelines
are a positive for banks and NBFCs, especially compared to the stricter 2024 draft. The most notable relief comes from significantly eased provisioning requirements—reduced to just 1% during construction (versus 5% proposed earlier) and as low as 0.4% post-DCCO. This reduces capital drag while maintaining prudence. Overall, the final norms strike a balanced approach, enabling continued flow of project finance with minimal impact on lenders' profitability or balance sheet strength," the brokerage said.

The company has completed raising of Rs 3,000 crore and currently investments are ongoing in various aspects, including new product development, he added. Live Events In the next 6 to 12 months, he said the company is looking at adding an electric tractor in the 40-50 horse power (HP) segment to the existing 27 HP. Besides, the company is planning to launch variants in the heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) segment, inducing tippers. In the small vehicle segment (SCV), Gupta said TI Clean Mobility Pvt Ltd (TICMPL) is looking at electric ambulance to tap opportunity of subsidy offered by the government, besides electric bus on its existing 3.5 tonne platform. As for electric three-wheelers, the company will look at entering e-rickshaw segment, while also considering to offer "either a lower or higher battery" option over and above its existing 10.6 kilowatt battery that powers the passenger autorickshaw at present, Gupta said. On its USD 1 billion target, he said, "About 50 per cent should be coming from the HCV, 20 per cent from SCV, 20 per cent from three-wheeler and 10 per cent from tractor business." Further, Gupta said TICMPL has invested in four manufacturing units -- three in and around Chennai and one in Manesar, Haryana -- to produce its range of electric vehicles. "We have already created capacities which we feel are sufficient to take care of at least next couple of years," he noted. The HCV facility at Manesar has an annual capacity of up to 6,000 units. For SCV, the company has an annual capacity of 50,000 units and the three-wheeler capacity is 70,000 units across passenger and cargo variants. Gupta said the company's electric tractor production capacity is 25,000 units per annum. TICMPL's new electric three-wheeler SUPER CARGO prices start at Rs 4.37 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi, post-subsidy) and marks the company's entry in the highly strategic last-mile delivery space. It has a range of over 200 km on standard testing conditions and real-life range of 170 km, the company said. It is powered by a 13.8 kWh lithium-ion battery and will also be available with a 15-minute 100 per cent charging option. In the three-wheeler segment, the company has a presence in 101 different markets in India and plans to reach 150 markets in FY26. It has sold over 10,000 units so far.
