State-run Power Finance Corporation (PFC) on Thursday reported a 72 per cent jump in its consolidated net profit at Rs 4,290 crore in the July-September quarter on account of higher revenues.
Its net profit was Rs 2,497 crore in the quarter ended September 30, 2019, a BSE filing said.
Total income of the company rose to Rs 18,171.41 crore in the said quarter from Rs 15,537.55 crore in the same period a year ago.
Commenting on the results, PFC Chairman and Managing Director R S Dhillon said, “It has been a quarter of stable performance for PFC despite tough economic conditions due to COVID pandemic. We ended the second quarter with 40 percent growth in interest income while our (standalone) net profit rose by 80 per cent in this period.”
The standalone net profit of the company rose to Rs 2,085.05 crore in the September quarter from Rs 1,157.26 crore in the same period a year ago.
Dhillon further said, “Even though our project based disbursements have been impacted due to COVID, the government”s liquidity package for DISCOMs enabled us to maintain our growth momentum. A key highlight for this quarter has been PFC”s cost of funds, which has consistently come down in a falling interest rate scenario. At the same time, we have been able to maintain overall yield on our portfolio.”
PFC and its subsidiary REC Ltd together have sanctioned loans worth Rs 1.18 lakh crore under the Rs 1.2 lakh crore liquidity package for discoms announced by the government in May this year.

Keeping the pandemic induced challenges and uncertainties in mind, the company will continue to focus on T&D (transmission and distribution) and renewable business.
It will also be prioritising lending under the DISCOM credit package in line with Government of India”s directions, he added. (PTI)
