Commenting on the results, Mr. Hemant Kanoria, Chairman and Managing Director, Srei, said: “During the third quarter of the financial year 2018-19, we have intentionally slowed down our disbursements in view of the environment and focussed on maintaining a comfortable liquidity position. Our ability to manage risks efficiently has led to healthy asset quality. Our liquidity position is comfortable with a focus on steady growth on our return on equity and profitability.”

“We have also embarked on a capital augmentation scheme and announced plans to get our equipment finance business listed on stock exchanges. This will allow the shareholders to participate directly in the high growth equipment finance sector and they will have monetizable assets in form of listed shares of both infrastructure financing and equipment financing businesses. The move will also help us in leveraging the growth opportunities in both the businesses leading to further increase in our shareholder value,” Mr. Kanoria added.
