National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development has entered into a memorandum of agreement with Projects Development Company of Rajasthan Limited to strengthen advisory and financing support for infrastructure projects across states and urban local bodies. The partnership focuses on transaction structuring, technical and commercial due diligence, and facilitating financial closure for projects. The collaboration is aimed at improving project preparation quality, accelerating execution timelines, and mobilising institutional capital more efficiently. It also seeks to address long-standing gaps in end-to-end professional support for infrastructure financing, particularly at the state level. The agreement reflects a broader push to enhance structured financing mechanisms and support sustainable infrastructure development across India’s urban and regional ecosystems.
National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development has formalised a strategic partnership with Projects Development Company of Rajasthan Limited to strengthen advisory capabilities and financing support for infrastructure projects across India.

The memorandum of agreement outlines a collaborative approach towards providing end-to-end advisory services, including transaction structuring, commercial and technical due diligence, and assistance in achieving financial closure. The partnership will cater to infrastructure projects undertaken by state governments and urban local bodies, where access to structured financing and professional advisory support has often remained limited.
PDCOR, a government-backed entity, has been engaged in project development and advisory functions within Rajasthan, while NaBFID operates as a development financial institution focused on addressing long-term infrastructure financing requirements. The collaboration is intended to combine technical expertise with financial structuring capabilities, thereby improving the overall quality and bankability of infrastructure projects.
According to the official statement, the partnership will also explore opportunities in transaction advisory and financing, enabling both organisations to jointly support projects from conceptualisation through to execution. This integrated approach is expected to streamline processes that typically delay infrastructure development, particularly in projects involving multiple stakeholders and complex funding structures.
The initiative comes at a time when infrastructure development across states and municipalities is gaining momentum, driven by increasing urbanisation and the need for upgraded public assets. However, project execution has often been constrained by inadequate preparation, fragmented advisory support, and limited access to institutional capital. The collaboration aims to address these structural challenges by creating a more cohesive ecosystem for project development and financing.
Dileep Chingapurath, Chief Executive Officer of PDCOR, indicated that the partnership is designed to bridge gaps in professional advisory services and enable sustainable financing solutions. He suggested that the collaboration would improve project readiness and facilitate more efficient capital mobilisation, ultimately supporting faster implementation timelines.
From a broader perspective, the agreement reflects an evolving approach within India’s infrastructure sector, where specialised institutions are increasingly working together to provide integrated solutions. By aligning advisory expertise with financing capabilities, such partnerships are expected to enhance project viability and attract greater participation from institutional investors.
As infrastructure requirements continue to expand across both urban and regional markets, the role of structured advisory and financing frameworks is becoming more critical. The NaBFID–PDCOR collaboration signals a step towards strengthening these frameworks, with the potential to support more efficient delivery of infrastructure projects across the country.
