IFCI Limited, Our legendary parent Institution
The Government of India established The Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) on July 1, 1948, as India’s first and premier Development Financial Institution, to cater to the long – term financial needs of the industrial sector
By the early 1990s, with the need for greater flexibility to respond to the changing financial system, IFCI was mandated to directly access the capital markets for its fund needs. Therefore, the constitution of IFCI was changed in 1993 from a statutory Corporation to a Company under the Indian Companies Act, 1956. The name of the Company itself was changed to “IFCI Limited” with effect from October 1999.
IFCI has achieved a financial turnaround with the consistent support and cooperation of all its stakeholders and is now endeavoring to re-position itself. In addition to its core competence in long-term lending to industrial and infrastructure sectors, IFCI is also enhancing its organizational value through better realization of its Non-performing Assets (NPAs) and unlocking of value of its investment portfolio including unquoted investments as well as real estate assets.
