Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • Power Finance Corporation (PFC) expects to maintain loan growth similar to the previous year, around 14% for FY 2025.
  • Disbursement pace is expected to sustain at levels achieved in Q2 FY 2025, with a healthy pipeline of sanctioned projects (~INR160,000 crores in H1'25).
  • Growth projections are conservative, considering expanding base size; very high percentage growth may not be feasible.
  • Infrastructure sector new ventures are approached cautiously, but power sector lending will continue aggressively.
  • There is a large market opportunity with an estimated ₹30 lakh crore funding requirement for the power sector by 2030.
  • The IFSC GIFT City subsidiary plans gradual growth with a focus on foreign currency loans to domestic and foreign infrastructure players.
  • Capital adequacy (~24.5%) supports consistent growth, but capital infusion may be needed for sustained higher expansion.

Fundraise plans

Yes
  • Power Finance Corporation (PFC) needs regular capital infusion to sustain consistent growth, especially as newer disbursements under capital works attract higher risk weights (100%) compared to those backed by government guarantees (20%).
  • PFC’s capital adequacy was at 24.5% this quarter, down from around 27% previously, indicating ongoing capital requirements.
  • The company follows a government dividend policy, paying 30% of PAT or 5% of net worth, whichever is higher, which may affect retained earnings for capital.
  • PFC has raised foreign currency borrowings recently, including a landmark USD 1.265 billion term loan through IFSC GIFT City.
  • Future fundraising via debt will depend on capital infusion to maintain growth and funding needs, particularly for infrastructure projects.
  • No explicit mention of upcoming equity fundraising in the call, but capital needs remain a focus to support steady disbursement growth.

Capex plans

Yes
  • PFC is focusing on growth in the power sector, expecting loan growth around 14% similar to the previous year (FY 2025), with a strong pipeline of sanctioned projects (~INR160,000 crores in H1 FY25).
  • The company is cautiously entering the broader infrastructure sector, following a steady and slow approach due to it being new for PFC. Infrastructure sanctions primarily target government projects (~96%).
  • PFC decided not to proceed with a large loan to Shapoorji Pallonji Group after due diligence; no current exposure to Vodafone Group projects.
  • PFC opened a Gujarat IFSC branch to offer foreign currency loans to domestic and foreign infrastructure companies, intending to expand operations gradually as capital is infused.
  • Overall, capital infusion will support growth, particularly in infrastructure and power, with capital adequacy and provisioning norms being key considerations.
