Question

If NHAI could receive a total of Rs. 9695 crores as External Assistance, by what percent (approximately) should it increase the Market Borrowing to arrange for the shortage of funds?

• A. 4.5%
• B. 7.5%
• C. 6%
• D. 8%

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6%

Shortage of funds arranged through External Assistance = Rs.(11486 - 9695) crores
= Rs. 1791 crores.
$\therefore$ Increase required in Market Borrowing = Rs. 1791 crores.
Percentage increase required $=(\frac{1791}{29952}\times 100)\%=5.98\%\approx 6\%$
