History of IFCI Ltd
IFCI Ltd was established through an Act of Parliament in 1948 to bridge the demand-supply gap for the capital needs of the economy after the period of independence. On April 26, 1995, the Industrial Finance Corporation of India launched its initial public offering (IPO).
The company was registered as a non-banking financial company (NBFC) with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1998. However, it was exempted from most regulatory guidelines applicable to non-banking financial companies due to its status as a financial institution.
The company's name was changed from The Industrial Finance Corporation of India Ltd to IFCI Ltd in 1999. In the fiscal year 1999-2000, the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the company, IFCI Investors Services Ltd and IFCI Custodial Services Ltd, were amalgamated with another wholly-owned subsidiary company, IFCI Financial Services Ltd.
Today, IFCI operates as a Government of India-backed NBFC adapting to reforms and restructuring efforts.
