The Reserve Bank of India regulates the operations of NBFCs. In recent years NBFCs are facing strong competition from Banks and financial institutions as they are providing funds at lower cost. Hence, NBFCs are under pressure to cut cost and to develop focused marketing approach by offering more personalized services. Entries of strong NBFCs in insurance and banking sector have been some of the major development in this sector.

OUTLOOK & STRATEGY :

Considering the growth prospects of India in the long-term and various opportunities that will emerge across different sectors from time to time , we continue to remain enthused about the manifold growth of the financial services sector in India. The Capital market in India have performed well over the past few years barring F.Y.2008-09 and certain level of moderation in growth is likely to take place in the near future depending upon the depth of the global economic recession, the pace of recovery and the Indian economic scenario.

With an eye on growth we keep expanding our portfolio of financial services. Our strategic focus on diversified activities in the financial services sector, will help stabilize base level for earning.
