The company has diversified into financing infrastructure facilities like private railway sidings, and development & operation of coal mines and power transmission projects. The Company continues to regularly monitor the progress and operations of the assisted projects through its comprehensive project monitoring mechanism.

2. Industry Scenario

Indian economy is now seventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and third largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). India is one of the world's most attractive markets for companies in the infrastructure business. The country is now the fastest growing economy and continues to grow at a higher rate. The power and energy sector has witnessed substantial investments and enjoys intense focus of the Government which is taking every possible initiative to boost the sector. The sector is projected to have huge investment potential, providing immense opportunities in generation, distribution, transmission and equipment. Indian energy sector is one of the highly diversified fields in the world with the sources of electricity generation ranging from commercial sources such as nuclear, hydro, oil, natural gas, lignite, coal power to some non-conventional sources such as agriculture waste, solar and wind power. The Indian economy is expected to go a transformational change and the power sector is expected to play a critical role in this mega change.

3. Outlook

With the Indian economy resting so much on the Indian power sector, the sector holds huge investment potential and requires huge investment. PFS, is devoted to meet the challenges sector to take advantages of the potential opportunities. The Company constantly eyes opportunities in the sector and expects to continue with its growth momentum.

The interest rates have remained more or less flat during the financial year and are expected to soften in the coming quarters backed by RBI's measures. PFS has been able to manage its overall cost of borrowings. The Company continues to broad-base its sources of funding and pursue the banks and other lenders for lowering the spread charged from PFS for on-lending. Most of long term loans are now tied up at respective base rate of the lending institution. The resource mix comprises of loans from banks, external commercial borrowings, mobilization of funds by way of non-convertible debentures, and tax saving infrastructure bonds, commercial papers. However, the power sector still continues to face concerns on account of financial health of distribution companies, fuel availability and transportation related concerns, delays in obtaining clearances etc.

PFS, being aware of the challenges faced by the sector, seeks to address these risks by remaining cautious during the due-diligence process. PFS has developed strong linkages with banks, financial institution, project developers, multilateral, bilateral institutions, equity funds, and the like, which would help in further development of business. PFS has put in place a comprehensive risk management framework and is continuously working to upscale the same to match the organizational and operational growth. PFS applies a distinctive approach in structuring the financial products. Being customer-focused, emphasis is on understanding of the risks and mitigation measures required in the context of the specific needs of the project. Ensuring quality in servicing while financing power projects is the hall-mark of PFS's business strategy, operational framework and HR practices.

PFS is presently focused on renewable energy as these projects do not have significant fuel and environmental clearance related risks, and receive regulatory, fiscal and non-fiscal support. The composition of renewable projects stood at around 39% in the total loan book as at 31st March 2015. The Company has also forayed in other areas within the energy value chain such as development and operation of coal mines, development of private railway sidings, power transmission projects etc.

Indian power sector is witnessing rise in interest from global players in the European and Asian regions. The sector is attracting foreign investors due to attractive valuations, new opportunities in sectors such as renewable energy. The Power sector is further expected to get the lion's share of investment outlay in 12th Five Year Plan and NBFCs are expected to play an increasing role in overall funding. It is estimated that the contribution from NBFCs would increase significantly providing enormous opportunities to PFS. Newer opportunities are coming up in power generation, transmission, distribution, equipment and servicing, government promoting private sector participation in transmission and distribution sector, privatization of distribution franchises, focus on improving efficiency etc.

PFS is focused on attractive opportunities across the infrastructure sector. The total debt assistance sanctioned has already crossed Rs.10,000 crore mark and the outstanding loan book has shown further growth during FY 2014-15. The disbursements have been robust during the financial year. PFS continues to focus its energies on lending outside coal based power projects for infrastructure facilities such as power transmission, coal mining, private railway sidings etc and will continue to evaluate niche opportunities across energy value chain.
