IIFCL said it aims to reduce the NPAs to around four percent in 2021-22
State-owned India Infrastructure Finance Company Limited (IIFCL) announced its financial results for fiscal 2020-21, reporting a 250 per cent rise in net profit on a consolidated basis to Rs 325 crore, driven by rising sanctions and disbursements. The company announced that its asset quality improved as it was able to bring down its net non-performing assets or NPAs to 5.4 percent in the financial year 2020-21, from 9.75 percent in fiscal 2019-20.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, June 22, IIFCL said it aims to reduce the NPAs to around four percent in the current financial year 2021-22. The company’s cash recovery in NPAs increased to more than Rs 625 crore in the fiscal year 2020-2021 – as much as 92 per cent higher than last year.
In a bid to strengthen its monitoring and surveillance systems, IIFCL is in the process of setting up an online project monitoring system or OPMS – a real-time project monitoring phase, a first-of-its-kind in India. It will be implemented by integrating new-age technological solutions such as drones, artificial intelligence, etc.
