Enthused by its performance over the years in sanction and disbursement of loan assistance to State power utilities, the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has drawn up a perspective plan to extend its operations to other related sectors in a major diversification drive and be in a position to release funds amounting to Rs. 5,000 crores to various beneficiaries by 1999-2000. Under the plan, ‘Vision 2000’, already operational for 1995-2000, although the corporation has been able to exceed its Rs. 2,000-crore target for loan sanctions in the first year (1995-96) by about Rs. 107 crores, fell short of its disbursement target marginally. Against the target of Rs. 1,000 crores for disbursement, PFC could manage to release funds worth around Rs. 881 crores only.
