About Indian Railway Finance Corp.Ltd.
IRFC functions as the dedicated financing arm of Indian Railways. Its core business involves raising funds from domestic and international markets through various instruments such as taxable and tax-free bonds, term loans, and other financial products.
The company lends these funds primarily to Indian Railways for acquiring rolling stock assets, including locomotives, coaches, and wagons, as well as for financing railway infrastructure projects. IRFC follows a leasing model, wherein it purchases assets and leases them to Indian Railways over a fixed tenure, ensuring a steady and predictable revenue stream.
Additionally, IRFC has diversified its lending portfolio by extending financing to other entities under the Ministry of Railways, such as rail infrastructure companies and joint ventures.
