ABOUT IFCI

At the time of independence in 1947, India’s capital

market was relatively under-developed. Although there
was significant demand for new capital, there was a
dearth of providers. Merchant bankers and underwriting
firms were almost non-existent. And commercial banks
were not equipped to provide long-term industrial finance
in
any significant manner.

It is against this backdrop that the government

established The Industrial Finance Corporation of India
(IFCI) on July 1, 1948, as the first Development Financial
Institution in the country to cater to the long-term finance
needs of the industrial sector. The newlyestablished DFI
was provided access to low-cost funds through the
central bank’s Statutory Liquidity Ratio or SLR which in
turn enabled it to provide loans and advances to
corporate borrowers at concessional rates.
LIBERALISATION - CONVERSION
INTO COMPANY IN 1993

This arrangement continued until the early 1990s when it

was recognized that there was need for greater flexibility
to respond to the changing financial system. It was also
felt that IFCI should directly access the capital markets
for its funds needs. It is with this objective that the
constitution of IFCI was changed in 1993 from a statutory
corporation to a company under the Indian Companies
Act, 1956. Subsequently, the name of the company was
also changed to "IFCI Limited" with effect from October
1999.

FOCUS
IFCI has fulfilled its original mandate as a DFI by providing
long-term financial support to all segments of Indian
Industry. It has also been chiefly instrumental in
translating the Government’s development priorities into
reality. Until the establishment of ICICI in 1956 and IDBI
in 1964, IFCI remained solely responsible for
implementation of the

government’s industrial policy initiatives. Its contribution

to the modernization of Indian industry, export
promotion, import substitution, entrepreneurship
development, pollution control, energy conservation and
generation of both direct and indirect employment is
noteworthy. Some sectors that have directly benefited
from IFCI’s disbursals include:

• Consumer goods industry (textiles, paper, sugar);

• Service industries (hotels, hospitals);
• Basic industries (iron & steel, fertilizers, basic
chemicals,cement);
• Capital & intermediate goods industries (electronics,
synthetic fibers, synthetic plastics, miscellaneous
chemicals); and
• Infrastructure (power generation, telecom services).
IFCI's ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION

IFCI’s economic contribution can be measured from the

following:

• Cumulatively, IFCI has sanctioned financial

assistance of Rs 462 billion to 5707 concerns and
disbursed Rs 444 billion since inception.

• In the process, IFCI has catalyzed investments worth

Rs 2,526 billion in the industrial and infrastructure
sectors.

• By way of illustration, IFCI’s assistance has been

helped create production capacities of :

· 6.5 million spindles in the textile industry

· 7.2 million tons per annum (tpa) of sugar production
· 1.7 million tpa of paper and paper products
· 18.5 million tons tpa of fertilizers
· 59.3 million tpa of cement
· 30.2 million tpa of iron and steel
 · 32.8 million tpa of petroleum refining
· 14,953 MW of electricity
· 22,106 hotel rooms
· 5,544 hospital beds
· 8 port projects, 66 telecom projects and 1 bridge
project.

• The direct employment generated as a result of its

financial assistance is estimated at almost 1 million
persons.

• IFCI has played a pivotal role in the regional

dispersal
of industry, 47% of IFCI’s assistance has gone to
2,172
units located in backward areas, helping to catalyse
investments worth over Rs1,206 billion.

• IFCI’s contribution to the Government exchequer by

way of taxes paid is estimated at Rs9 billion.

• IFCI has promoted Technical Consultancy

Organizations (TCOs), primarily in less developed
states to provide necessary services to the
 promoters of small- and medium-sized industries in
collaboration with other banks and institutions.

• IFCI has also provided assistance to self-employed

youth and women entrepreneurs under its
Benevolent Reserve Fund (BRF) and the Interest
Differential Fund (IDF).

• IFCI has founded and developed prominent

institutions like:

• Management Development Institute (MDI) for

management training and development ICRA for
credit assessment rating

• Tourism Finance Corporation of India (TFCI) for

promotion of the hotel and tourism industry

• LIC Housing Finance Ltd.

• GIC Grih Vitta Ltd., and
• Bio-tech Consortium Ltd. (BCL).

• IFCI has also set up Chairs in reputed educational/

management institutions and universities. A major
contribution of IFCI has been in the early assistance
 provided by it to some of today’s leading Indian
entrepreneurs who may not have been able to start
their enterprises or expand without the initial support
from IFCI.

CORPORATE STRATEGY
IFCI has been able to achieve a financial turnaround
with the consistent support and cooperation of all its
stakeholders and is now endeavouring to re-position
itself .

As a part of its organizational strategy, IFCI plans to

induct strategic investor(s) who may provide
besides funds support, business know-how,
marketing techniques, technology, clientele, brand
name etc. to achieve scale and scope economies
and provide expansion of the capital and resources
base. In the interim period, IFCI plans to enhance
organizational value through better realization of its
Non-performing Assets (NPAs) and unlocking of
value of its investment port-folio including unquoted
investments as well as real estate assets.
The present business strategy of IFCI envisages (a)
retaining and enhancing its core competence in long
term lending to industrial and infrastructure sectors
and (b) expanding fee-based businesses to
capitalize opportunities in Corporate Advisory Services.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

AREAS OF OPERATIONS

The lending policies of IFCI have evolved over the last five
decades of operations. These policies have sought to
achieve the primary objective of providing medium and
long-term financial assistance to mainly manufacturing
concerns and to fulfill the overall goals of industrial and
economic development in India. The principal activities of
IFCI include:
· Project finance
· Financial services
· Non-project specific assistance
· Corporate Advisory Services

i. Project finance involves providing credit and other

facilities to green-field industrial projects (including
infrastructure projects) as well as to brown-field
projects,
viz., expansion, diversification and modernization of
existing industrial concerns through various types of
assistance that are tailored to the borrowers’ needs.

ii. Financial services covers a wide range of activities

wherein assistance is provided to existing concerns
through various schemes for the acquisition of assets,
as
part of their expansion, diversification and
modernization programs. These schemes are also
extended to equipment which could be directly got
fabricated by the actual user, or procured from
domestic
suppliers, or imported. Tailor-made schemes to suit the
 individual borrower's requirements have been
designed
to provide quick funds after a need-based appraisal.
The
interest rate and rentals (in case of equipment leasing)
are competitive and determined on the basis of the risk
perception about individual concerns.

the
form of corporate / short-term loans, working capital,
bills discounting, etc to meet expenditure, which is not
specifically related to any particular project.

IFCI VENTURE CAPITAL FUNDS

LTD.
(IVCF)
IFCI Venture Capital Funds Ltd. (IVCF) was originally set
up by IFCI as a Society by the name of Risk Capital
Foundation (RCF) in 1975 to provide institutional support
to first generation professionals and technocrats setting
up their own ventures in the medium scale sector, under
the Risk Capital Scheme. In 1988, RCF was converted
into a company, Risk Capital and Technology Finance
Corporation Ltd. (RCTC), when it also introduced the
Technology Finance and Development Scheme for
financing development and commercialisation of
indigenous technology. To reflect the shift in the
company’s activities, the name of RCTC was changed to
IFCI Venture Capital Funds Ltd. (IVCF) in February 2000.
Over the years, IVCF has provided financial assistance to
new ventures, supported commercialisation of new
technologies.
