Piramal Healthcare’s new foray

10 May 2011 Evaluate

Piramal Healthcare's plans to enter the financial services segment and funding of real estate and infrastructure, through two nonbanking financial firms. Piramal Health is promoting NBFCs with a capital base of Rs 1,000 crore to fund real estate and infrastructure. However, the foray into financial services comes at a time when the outlook for NBFCs is hazy. Rising interest rates, tightening of regulations by the RBI and intense competition has meant that the sector is no longer as attractive a draw as it was earlier.

With cash on its books aggregating Rs 3,000 crore and receivables of Rs 7,000 crore, Piramal Healthcare has drawn up a plan to invest Rs 24,000 crore in financing after leveraging its equity once. The NCE business and the financial services, which hold the potential for growth, have a low success ratio. It also announced acquisition of IndiaReit Fund Advisors and IndiaReit Investment Managers for an aggregate of Rs 225 crore. crackcrack
