NEW DELHI: Power Finance Corporation (PFC) on Tuesday received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to set up a wholly-owned finance company in the GIFT City in Gujarat.
The entity at the International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) will present new business opportunities for PFC and contribute to the growth of the country’s power sector, PFC Chairman and Managing Director Parminder Chopra said in a statement.
According to a regulatory filing, PFC is in receipt of the no objection letter from the RBI for setting up a finance company as a wholly-owned subsidiary in the GIFT City.
