‘Viability Gap Funding’ means a grant to support projects that are economically justified but not commercially viable. The main constraint in India’s infrastructure sector is the lack of source for finance. Some projects may not be financially viable though they are economically justified and necessary. This is the nature of several infrastructural projects which are long term and development oriented. For the successful completion of such projects, the government has designed Viability Gap Funding (VGF). The scheme is designed as a Plan Scheme to be administered by the Ministry of Finance and amount in the budget are made on a year-to- year basis. Such a grant under VGF is provided as a capital subsidy to attract the private sector players to participate in PPP projects that are otherwise financially unviable. Projects may not be commercially viable because of long gestation period and small revenue flows in future. The VGF scheme was launched in 2004 to support projects that come under Public Private Partnerships.
