About Power Finance Corporation

Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) is a non-banking financial company (a lender that is not a bank) that finances India's power sector from its headquarters in New Delhi.123 It lends across generation, transmission, energy storage, distribution reform and green hydrogen, and to wider infrastructure and logistics beyond core power.34

PFC holds 52.63% of REC Limited, an infrastructure finance company that also funds power projects across India.5 It wholly owns PFC Consulting Limited, a power-sector consultancy, and PFC Infra Finance IFSC Limited, set up at GIFT City in Gujarat in 2024 to finance power and infrastructure projects in India and overseas in foreign currency.6 It says that, through project companies, it prepares the government's Ultra Mega Power Projects (very large power plants), securing clearances, land, water and coal links so that developers can build them faster.5

It was set up in 1986 to fund India's power sector, and calls itself the first Maharatna (the government's highest grade of state-owned company) in financial services.37 The Government of India is the majority shareholder, and as a central public sector undertaking all its directors are appointed by the President of India through the Ministry of Power.78 Parminder Chopra, its Chairman and Managing Director, is the first woman to hold the post.9
