Commenting on the results, Hemant Kanoria, Chairman, Srei, said, "In 2018-19, post the initial strong first half growth, in the second half the focus was to remain sufficiently liquid, maintain superior quality of assets and grow cautiously amidst challenging macro-economic environment. Going forward, our outlook on the economy continues to remain positive. Political parties in their election manifestos have given ample thrust on development and it is apparent that infrastructure will continue to remain a focus area for the new government, irrespective of whichever party comes to power.”
“On the business front, we will continue to strengthen our existing client relationships, focus on co-lending arrangements with banks and aim at growth in the equipment finance sector. With Srei celebrating 30 years of its journey in 2019-20, the three decades of experience have made our organisation fundamentally sturdy, agile and ready for implementing new technologies in business, while remaining financially prudent," Kanoria added.
