SREI: A ‘loan’ ranger...

One time – city of refugees, city of joy, city of tram-cars with disjointed electric lines, city of ‘addas’...HEMANT KANORIA, VICE CHAIRMAN & MD that’s ‘Mahanagar Kolkata’ for you! When can we start associating this heritage city with industrialisation, where star corporations like ITC are few & far between? Well, there is one name that comes to mind from the city of Kolkata, as a leader in the rapidly growing sector of infrastructure financing in India. And interestingly, in a field where one would consider banks to be showing the way, this leader in this sector is an NBFI by the name of SREI Infrastructure Finance Ltd. (formerly known as SREI International Finance Ltd.).

Since SREI1989 (liquidity crunch period), there’s one name that has carried the baton of infrastructure development in this city. What started with basic equipment financing has now grown to encompass project financing & renewable energy product financing as well. States Hemant Kanoria, Vice Chairman & MD, SREI, “From 1989 till now, we are in the entire value-chain of infrastructure... So, everyone, who is working in this particular field, would have to necessarily deal with us & we have to deal with them.” The company, which stepped in with the vision of being the most inspiring global infra- structure financial institution with passing time, has gone on to leave quite a mark on Kolkata’s infrastructural landscape & stood the test of time. Within a span of 17 years, the assets under management for this company have reached Rs.50.83 billion.
