      Question

      The World Bank approved a USD 225 million loan for the

      Rajasthan Highway Modernization Project. What is unique about this loan's repayment structure?
      A Zero interest loan Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Step-Up Loan mechanism Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Balloon payment structure Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Interest-only payments for first 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Bullet repayment at maturity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The USD 225 million loan from IBRD includes India's first Step-Up Loan (SuL) mechanism. The SuL eases fiscal pressure during the early high-risk phase, with higher repayments later once the project stabilises and becomes ready for market refinancing. The loan has a 35-year maturity with a 5-year grace period.
