JK Paper CPLP JK Paper has proposed a series of investments to increase energy efficiency and reduce water consumption at its two manufacturing facilities located in Orissa and Gujarat, India. Overall, project implementation is expected to reduce energy consumption by 5.1% and water consumption by 17.3%, annually. The recommended project encompasses optimization of electric drives and motors, steam and pumping systems, and cooling and lighting systems. Together, these Cleaner Production investments qualify for funding via IFCs Board-approved Cleaner Production Lending Pilot facility, a $20 million facility that enables IFC to provide Cleaner Production sub-loans to its existing portfolio clients.

JK Paper is India's second largest producer of branded printing and writing paper with a total manufacturing capacity of 240,000 tons per annum and has been an IFC client since 2006. Overall, the implementation of the project is expected to result in:

Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 67,235 tons p.a.
Savings of 3.4 million m3 of water p.a.
Savings of 30 million kilowatt hours of electricity p.a. 

This project will also serve to demonstrate that the investments proposed by JK Paper at its Orissa and Gujarat plants are cost-effective, leading to wider adoption of such projects within the industry.
Stellaris Venture Partners India I The proposed project is for an equity investment of $10 million in Stellaris Venture Partners India I (Fund or Stellaris I), a self-managed closed-end fund domiciled in India with a target size of $100 million. The Fund had its first close in Jan 2017 and an expected next close in June 2017. The Fund seeks to focus primarily on Series A and pre-Series A investments in technology and technology-enabled companies in India, and currently has two investments in its portfolio - Whatfix and Wydr. 3.	DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT:

(i)	Global expansion of local businesses: In the current fund, IFC will be supporting 18-20 innovative Indian companies to grow and gain access to international capital markets.
(ii)	Supporting innovation and technology: Stellaris invests in early and growth stage technology firms, supporting and empowering entrepreneurs and innovation.
(iii)	Job creation and economic growth: According to IFC's experience, venture capital funds such as Stellaris contribute meaningfully to job creation and economic growth.
(iv)	Financial inclusion and access to capital: Access to long term equity capital is difficult for asset light businesses such as technology firms, and IFC commitment would provide necessary risk capital for such businesses.
(v)	Governance, operational and E&S improvements: IFC will guide the fund manager and ensure that local businesses implement best practices in various fields.
SAME DEUTZ India SAME DEUTZ FAHR INDIA Ltd has been for more than a decade an integrated producer of 35/70-horse power tractors and tractor engines for local markets and for exports.  To keep up with increasing demand, the company is undertaking a project to increase its tractor production, aligning itself with European methods and standards, and restructure its balance sheet to sustain long-term growth. 1.	Contribution to food security. Based on competitive cost structure, quality, efficient distribution network and service, the projects are expected to increase the availability of tractors and harvest combines in their regions. This, in turn, should help improve the agricultural productivity and thus output, and contribute to food security.  2.	Contribution to rural development. Increased mechanization of the agriculture in the region is expected to lead to higher farmer income as well as development of small businesses that provide spare parts and maintenance repair services for the agricultural machinery.  3.	Job preservation in an IDA-blend country.
Grasim SLL Project The proposed transaction entails an investment of up to INR 12.50 billion (approximately equivalent to US$150 million) in the form of subscription to Non-convertible Debentures (NCDs) issued by Grasim Industries Limited (the Company or Grasim). The proposed loan will be utilized to finance the Companys ongoing capital expenditure program for the paints business and working capital needs for the paints business of the Company (the Project). The Project has an Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM) rating of Good based on an AIMM score of 58. On an unadjusted basis (i.e., without the likelihood factor), the full potential AIMM score could reach 64. 
Economywide effects (value addition): IFCs investment will support adoption of cutting-edge technology and processes which will minimize waste and reduce carbon footprint. Economywide effects (employment): IFCs investment will create additional 2,810 jobs over next few years. Environmental Effects: IFCs funding is structured as a sustainability linked loan (SLL) which will incentivize the Company at a corporate level to increase the use of RE power and reduce dependency on freshwater.

Owens-Corning will provide state-of-the-art technology.  The remaining equity will be privately placed in India and/or abroad.    Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment    	US$106 million project cost.  IFC A Loan of US$25 million and an IFC B Loan of up to US$15 million.    Location of project and Description of site    	Developed site within the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation Industrial Estate located at Taloja, Maharashtra, India.    Description of Company and Purpose of Project    	This joint venture, between the world leader in the glass fiber industry and Indias largest single consumer of glass fiber, will construct a state-of-the-art facility to produce glass fiber for composites.  The capacity will be 30,000 tonnes per annum.  Initially, 75% of production will be exported under an off-take agreement with Owens-Corning but an Owens-Corning Application Development Center in Bangalore, India, will seek to expand domestic demand from industries which are expected to be of growing importance in India such as automobiles, computers, telecommunications, appliances and water and gas pipes.  Composites frequently offer advantages over traditional materials such as aluminum and steel in such industries.  IFC is playing a key role in attempting to put together the best possible debt package from local and overseas sources under the circumstances prevailing in India at this time.  Current Indian regulations require that loans from foreign sources for projects of this nature must have an average life of at least seven years.  This is far too long for most international lenders.    Environmental Category and Issues    	Category B.  Environmental, health and safety issues include air emissions, liquid effluents, solid waste disposal, land use modifications, fibrous dust in the workplace, and the handling and storage of resins and other hazardous or flammable materials.  The project will be operated by Owens-Corning in accordance with Owens-Cornings policy to maintain a uniform standard of environmental and occupational health and safety performance in its operations world-wide.

         Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL or the Company) is one of Indias largest integrated agribusiness players, with operations in Micro Irrigation Systems (MIS), plastic pipes and sheets, dehydrated vegetables, processed fruits and other smaller businesses including tissue culture, agri-tech solutions and green energy. It is headquartered in Jalgaon in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. JISL is Indias leader in Micro Irrigation Systems and the second largest globally; it is also the largest manufacturer of plastic pipes in India. 
       
       
         The Company had revenues of approximately US$ 1 billion for the last financial year (FY) ended March 31, 2017 and had a market capitalization of approximately US$ 930 million as of February 2, 2018. 1) Raising farmer incomes: the adoption of MIS and better farming techniques is expected to reduce risk from weather, lower cost of farm inputs such as fertilizers and energy, and also increase yields. This will improve farmer income and have a direct impact on poverty reduction for those at the bottom of the pyramid. The Company also contracts with farmers to buy output for its food processing business.
2) Improved water management: India has 18% of the world's population and only 4% of the fresh water resources, and per capita availability is projected to keep declining. MIS improves water efficiency from the average 30-40% in India to 80-85%. This will lead to improved water management and a smaller environmental footprint caused by agricultural growth.
3) Improved infrastructure: The Company manufactures pipes used for water supply, sewage, waste management supporting the GoI's "Swachh Bharat" (Clean India) Mission. They will also be integral in the creation of Smart Cities.
