Abizer Diwanji , Founder, NeoStrat Advisors LLP , says people will take the decision on the basis of whatever their compulsions are. Institutional investors , especially from the US, will have bigger compulsions in their country, being answerable to their own investors, and they may take a different call. The primary consideration for a normal investor should be returns and the efficacy of cash flow.
As far as we have been covering banking, there is a reputational risk, there is a financial risk. But despite that, you have seen that Japanese lenders may continue to support Adani. How would these banks be assessing the situation according to you? Abizer Diwanji: First of all, banks are very focused on lending and lending to specific projects which have a high probability of cash flows, that is the most important thing.
Now, given the group's ability to construct and execute contracts well, I think from a credit risk perspective which is the main criteria on which lending is done, most people would take a view that there is no problem with the credit. If it is a governance issue or any other issue, those will be taken as a secondary aspect. They are important, but they will be taken as secondary aspects.
The Japanese banks have a focus on India as a country and the infrastructure build that they wish to finance, look at Japanese companies that have entered the financing space, there are a couple of them that are also bidders for Yes Bank as well as for IDBI Bank . Their credit focus on India is very bullish. And because that is bullish and India requires some large ticket deployments, I am not surprised that they would maintain a view till such time that any indictment is proven or reaches a serious stage.
How should investors assess this situation? I am sure you would have analysed the situation which is there. You would have seen the US charges which have come out in the open. How do you assess? Abizer Diwanji: As far as investors are concerned, investors need to be able to wait and watch.
Their issues are always going to be around, as I said, execution and the company's ability to deliver profits. Now from an equity investor perspective, it is going to be ability to deliver profits and return on capital. As far as debt is concerned, it is going to be again the ability to generate cash flows enough to pay debt obligations.
When investors look at it, most should look at it in an objective financial manner. Whoever tends to look at it beyond the financial manner, obviously has other compulsions, which forces them to take other decisions. So, I guess people will take the decision on the basis of whatever the compulsions are.
Institutional investors, especially from the US, will have bigger compulsions in their country, answerable to their own investors, and they may take a different call. A normal investor who only views returns and reviews efficacy of cash flows will base it on that.

Adani issue: Primary consideration for investors should be returns and efficacy of cash flow: Abizer Diwanji
Investors are advised to focus on returns and cash flow efficiency when making decisions about Adani. While some institutional investors, particularly from the US, may have different considerations, Japanese banks continue to support Adani due to their focus on India's infrastructure projects. Different compulsions may influence decisions, but financial aspects remain primary.
