The Developing economies across the World witness huge Government spending on Infrastructure in order to boost their economy. Mainly these are Greenfield Projects (the projects/investments which are started from scratch level) and require a lot of Financial Planning at pre and post Contract Award level. This research paper identifies and proposes mitigation measures against the Financial Risks involved in Greenfield Infrastructure Contracts namely: 1) Financial Risks due to locked-up bank guarantees, 2) Financial Risks due to prolongation costs in case the works got suspended, 3) Financial Risks due to price escalation, 4) Financial Risks due to de-scoping of major part of the Works, 5) Financial Risks on account of delayed Payments and 6) Financial Risks due to delays and penalties.
