HISTORY

History of our Company (SEFPL)

Our Company was originally incorporated as Srei Infrastructure Development Limited (‘SIDL’) on June 13,
2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Srei Infrastructure Finance Limited (‘SIFL’) with an object of carrying,
inter alia, the business of equipment financing and had obtained registration as a non-deposit accepting
Non-Banking Financial Institution vide registration number N-05.06694 dated June 12, 2007 from the
Reserve Bank of India. Subsequent to change of name of the Company, it has obtained registration as a
non-deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Institution vide registration number N-05.06694 dated September
3, 2008 from the Reserve Bank of India.

The name of SIDL was changed to Srei Infrastructure Development Finance Limited (‘SIDFL’) and a fresh
certificate of incorporation dated April 16, 2007 was obtained from the Registrar of Companies, Kolkata,
West Bengal. Later, SIDFL was converted into a private limited company and the name of the Company was
changed to Srei Infrastructure Development Finance Private Limited (‘SIDFPL’) and a fresh certificate of
incorporation dated September 28, 2007 was obtained from the Registrar of Companies, Kolkata, West
Bengal. Subsequently, the name of the Company was once again changed to Srei Equipment Finance Private
Limited (‘SEFPL’) and a fresh certificate of incorporation dated May 30, 2008 was obtained from the
Registrar of Companies, Kolkata, West Bengal.

SIFL entered into a 50:50 Joint Venture (‘JV’) on May 31, 2007 (effective from April 2, 2008) with BNP
Paribas Lease Group (‘BPLG’), a group company of BNP Paribas S.A. of France and a European market
leader specializing in asset financing for equipments.

Pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement (‘the Scheme’) approved by shareholders and sanctioned by the
Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta on January 28, 2008, all business and assets and liabilities pertaining to the
project finance business and asset based financing business of the SIFL, including its shareholding in Srei
Insurance Broking Private Limited (formerly Srei Insurance Services Limited) were transferred to the
Company as a going concern on a slump sale basis in accordance with Sections 391 to 394 and other
relevant provisions of the Companies Act with effect from January 1, 2008 (‘Appointed Date’). The Scheme
became operative from April 2, 2008 (‘Effective Date’) and the transfer in terms of the Scheme took place on
and from the Effective Date.

SEFPL, the alliance of SIFL and BPLG, would be benefited from the local skills, knowledge, established base
and expertise of SIFL coupled with the global skills, expertise and experience of BPLG. The JV will also have
the benefit of the brand and corporate names of SIFL and BPLG respectively on the basis of license
arrangements entered with the respective companies to use the same on mutually agreed terms. The JV will
have the benefit of financial strength enabling lower cost of fund as well as strong relationship with first-
class and reputed international and domestic construction and mining equipment manufacturers.

Srei BNP Paribas (Registered Name: Srei Equipment Finance Private Limited) started its operation from
January 01, 2008 with the infrastructure and construction equipment financing and insurance businesses and
has further plans to expand its business to new verticals.

Industry leader in the infrastructure and construction equipment financing, Srei BNP Paribas is aptly
benefitting from the Indian expertise and insight of Srei and global leasing insight in diverse product classes of
BNP Paribas.

acts a valuable advisor to its customers. It has tied up with all the leading equipment manufacturers. Over the
years, Srei BNP Paribas has been innovating new marketing programmes bringing together the manufacturers
and customers on a single platform, creating immense value and sharing this value with all the stake holders.
"Paison Ki Nilami" and "Srei BNP Paribas Partnership Week" are two such prominent programmes.

Srei BNP Paribas has already started financing Technology Solutions (financing of IT equipment, software and
services) and has effectively partnered with leading global IT vendors for financing their customers. It has also
forayed into financing of new Equipment classes: Agriculture Equipment, Healthcare Equipment, Office
Automation, Equipment in Education sector etc. With its foray into new equipment classes, Srei BNP Paribas
has become probably the one and only Company to offer complete Equipment Solutions.

INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The information in this section has been extracted from publicly available documents/ sources and has not
been prepared or independently verified by us.

Introduction

The global economy, after a sustained period of expansion, is now entering into a phase of downturn on
account of the global financial crisis. During the period from June 2007, concerns over losses on US sub-prime
mortgage loans escalated into widespread financial stress, raising fears about the stability of banks and other
financial institutions. Global credit markets experienced a large scale sell-off during the period, as broad-based
de-leveraging was combined with uncertainty about the size and valuation of credit exposures. (Source: RBI
website: “Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India, 2007-08”)

The Indian economy continued to record strong growth during 2007-08, albeit with some moderation. Real gross
domestic product (GDP) growth rate at 9.0 per cent during 2007-08 moderated from 9.6 per cent during 2006-07,
reflecting some slow down in industry and services. A positive feature during the year was a recovery in the growth
of real GDP originating in the agricultural sector, after the slowdown experienced in the previous year. Despite this
moderation, the overall growth rate of the Indian economy during 2007-08 was noteworthy in the global context.
(Source: RBI website: “Report on Trend and Progress of Banking in India, 2007-08”)

Sustained growth and resilience in the year of a global slowdown characterized the developments of the
Indian economy in 2007-08. The economy has also been largely successful in containing domestic inflationary
pressures despite global hardening of commodity prices and an upsurge in capital inflows, which had made
liquidity management difficult. The overall macroeconomic fundamentals continue to inspire confidence and
optimism. Buoyant growth of government revenues made it possible to strengthen fiscal consolidation as
mandated under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act (FRBMA). There was acceleration in
domestic savings and investment rates to provide the resources for meeting the 9 per cent (average) growth
target for the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. (Source: Macro-economic framework 2008-09 available at

Business Finance in India


(Source: www.business.gov.in)

Business finance refers to the funds and monetary support required by an entrepreneur for carrying out the
various activities relating to his/ her business organisation. It is needed at every stage of a business life cycle.
Though the amount of the capital needed by an enterprise depends upon the nature and size of the business,
but its timely and adequate supply is indispensable for any form of industrial set up (whether small, medium
or large). Recognising this fact, the Government of India has evolved a well developed financial system in the
country.

It operates through a network of financial markets and institutions, which are broadly categorised into money
market and capital market. The former market deals in short-term funds, while the latter deals in long-term
funds. For regulating the operations of money market, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the supreme
authority and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) supervises the functioning of the capital
market.

A growing economy needs investment to sustain its growth process. Such investments can be quickly and
efficiently undertaken if investors have access to a well-developed financial market. Historically, banks have
played the role of intermediaries matching savers with investors. However, the modern world of business
requires a much more sophisticated level of intermediation. It is no longer sufficient to have an efficient
means of allocating savers’ funds to investors; one also needs financial markets to allocate risk and to re-
allocate capital from inefficient to more efficient projects. Given the institutional nature of banks, it is not
possible for them to provide all these functions of a modern financial market. The financial market has various
intermediaries such as banks, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds, venture capital funds, and
the stock and commodity exchanges. Together, they perform the various types of intermediation necessary in
the global financial world. Since 1991, India has become one of the developed financial markets among the
emerging economies; however it is still a long way to go. (Source: Economic Survey 2007-2008; Ministry of
Finance, Government of India; text available at – http://indiabudget.nic.in/es2007-08/chapt2008/chap51.pdf)

Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation only

The major constituents of the Indian financial system are:

1) Banks

As per the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, banks in India are classified into scheduled and non-scheduled
banks. Scheduled banks are those which are entered into the second schedule of the RBI Act, 1934. It
includes those banks which have a paid-up capital and reserves of an aggregate value of not less than Rs.5
lakhs and which satisfy RBI that their affairs are being carried out in the interests of the depositors. While,
non-scheduled banks are those which have not been included in the second schedule of the Act, the
scheduled banks comprise scheduled commercial banks and scheduled cooperative banks. Further, the
scheduled commercial banks in India are categorised into five different groups according to their ownership
and/or nature of operation:- (i) Nationalised Banks; (ii) State Bank of India and its associates; (iii) Regional
Rural Banks (RRBs); (iv) Foreign banks; and (v) Other Indian private sector banks. Scheduled co-operative
banks consist of scheduled state co-operative banks and scheduled urban co-operative banks.

2) Financial institutions

The financial institutions act as a conduit for the transfer of resources from net savers to net borrowers, that
is, from those who spend less than their earnings to those who spend more than their earnings. The financial
institutions have traditionally been the major source of long-term funds for the economy. These institutions
provide a variety of financial products and services to fulfil the varied needs of the commercial sector. Besides,
they provide assistance to new enterprises, small and medium firms as well as to the industries established in
backward areas. Thus, they have helped in reducing regional disparities by inducing widespread industrial
development. These financial institutions can be broadly categorised into All India institutions and State level
institutions, depending upon the geographical coverage of their operations.

3) Venture capital companies

Venture Capital is an important source of finance for those small and medium-sized firms, which have very
few avenues for raising funds. Although such a business firm may possess huge potential for earning large
profits in the future and establishing itself into a larger enterprise, but the common investors are generally
unwilling to invest their funds in such firms due to risk involved in these type of investments. In order to
provide financial support to such entrepreneurial talent and business skills, the concept of venture capital
emerged. Venture capital is a commitment of capital, or shareholdings, for the formation and setting up of
small scale enterprises at the early stages of their life cycle.

4) Capital markets

Capital market is the market available to the companies for meeting their requirements of long-term funds. It
refers to all the facilities and institutional arrangements for borrowing and lending funds. In other words, it is
concerned with the raising of capital for purposes of making long-term investments. The market consists of a
number of individuals and institutions (including the Government) that canalise the supply and demand for
long -term capital and claims on it. The demand for long term capital comes predominantly from private sector
manufacturing industries, agriculture sector, trade and the Government agencies. Whereas, the supply of
funds for the capital market comes largely from individual and corporate savings, banks, insurance companies,
specialised financing agencies and the surplus of Governments. The Indian capital market is broadly divided
into the gilt-edged market and the industrial securities market.

5) Non-banking financial companies

Non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) are fast emerging as an important segment of Indian financial
system. It is an heterogeneous group of institutions (other than commercial and co-operative banks)
performing financial intermediation in a variety of ways, such as accepting deposits, making loans and
advances, leasing, hire purchase, etc. They raise funds from the public, directly or indirectly, and lend them to
ultimate spenders. They advance loans to various wholesale and retail traders, small-scale industries and self-
employed persons. Thus, they have broadened and diversified the range of products and services offered by
the financial sector.

18
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation only

Gradually, they are being recognised as complementary to the banking sector due to their customer-oriented
services, simplified procedures, attractive rates of return on deposits, flexibility and timeliness in meeting the
credit needs of specified sectors, etc.

The role of NBFCs in asset creation and infrastructure development is well acknowledged. NBFCs serve as the
primary conduit for credit delivery to the ‘growth engine’ sectors which have so far remained under-banked,
especially the micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs). NBFCs thrive on their inherent strengths of wider
reach, intimate local knowledge, credit origination and appraisal skills, suitably trained collection machinery,
close monitoring of borrowers and customised client service.

Overview of Key Financing Activities of NBFCs in


India Small and Medium Enterprises Financing
SME financing is an attractive growth area targeted by most banks and NBFC. However NBFC are best suited
for this segment as it is beset with inadequate financial reporting and the requirement of more personalized
services which the banks and financial institutions find difficult to deal with. The sector is growing at very fast
pace with ever increasing ambitions of the Indian businessmen. Today most SME business have ambitious
growth plans which they are able to strive for mainly enabled by better access to technology and information
systems. With adequate and prompt supply of funds, the SME can easily scale up their operations and also
provide ample scope for fee based services.

Infrastructure Finance
Infrastructure is expected to be a key area of growth in a developing country like India. The Government has been
actively promoting the country’s infrastructure through a sustained focus on area like power, roads, ports and urban
transportation. Private sector participation through public private partnerships as well as privately funded projects is
being encouraged in order to enable quick scale up of government’s efforts and better management. As per
Planning Commission’s estimates the investments in infrastructure during the Tenth Plan aggregated to Rs. 4,52,900
crores which is expected to increase to Rs. 11,25,000 crores in the Eleventh Plan. The chart below describes the
anticipated and estimated investments under the two plans respectively.

Power sector reforms like unbundling of the state electricity boards has paved the way for commercially viable
projects in the generation, transmission as well as distribution space. The proposed ultra mega power
projects, three of which have already been awarded are targeted towards easing the power shortage situation
in the country and require huge investments over the next 10-15 years. Introduction of tariff based bidding
will provide for better efficiencies in setting up as well as maintenance of power projects while provide better
returns to investors. Measures like awarding coal mines on priority to power projects, efforts to tap the hydro
electric potential of the country and opening up nuclear power generation to private sector will lead to heavy
investment in the power generation sector Efforts are on to set up an integrated national power grid and
enable power trading through setting up of power exchanges.

The Government of India has embarked upon massive road construction projects, under the National Highway
Development Program. The Golden Quadrilateral Project as well as the North South Corridor will require a lot
on investment in real estate, warehouses and container terminals besides the basic investment on the roads
and bridges.

Investments will also be required in urban transportation projects like the Hyderabad Metro, the Mumbai trans
harbour link project and monorail projects in several cities. The Government's decision to open the
construction of roads, bridges, airports and ports to the private sector and allowing 100% foreign investment
in certain real estate projects will provided a boost to the construction industry as well as generate demand
for construction machinery.

Infrastructure Overview in India


(Source: http://www.ibef.org/economy/infrastructure.aspx as on July 21, 2009. Exchange rate used is 1 USD
= 50.53 INR)

The key to sustaining India's growth rate during a global meltdown lies in developing India's infrastructure. Keeping
this in mind, the government is targeting an investment of US$ 20.38 billion over the next two years in the
infrastructure sector. The scheme aims to take up infrastructure projects under public-private partnership
(PPP) with minimal private investment. The government has asked the Infrastructure Investment Finance
Company Ltd (IIFCL) to put together a corpus of over US$ 8.15 billion for this purpose.

IIFCL plans to provide US$ 1.2 billion for infrastructure projects during 2009-10, which is nearly double the
amount disbursed by it during 2008-09. The company had disbursed US$ 640.8 million for various projects
during 2008-09. This is in addition to the US$ 320 billion that the government plans to invest for the
upgradation of ports, railroads, highways and airports over the next 15 years.

Further, the core sector growth is back on track. The index for six core industries—crude oil, petroleum
refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished carbon steel—has turned in a growth of 2.9 per cent in
March 2009 over March last year.

Ports
The government has identified 276 projects entailing an investment of US$ 12 billion. According to the
Planning Commission, there is an investment opportunity of US$ 25 billion by 2011-12 in India's shipping and
ports sectors, as the country seeks to double its ports capacity to 1,500 million tonnes. Segment-wise, while
the ports sector would provide a US$ 13.75 billion investment opportunity, shipping and inland waterways are
likely to present a US$ 11.25 billion investment opportunity.

Airports
The government plans to attract private players through the PPP mode for the development of over 300
airports and airstrips. It would invest US$ 9 billion to modernise existing airports by 2010. The Civil Aviation
Ministry plans to develop 35 Greenfield airports across India by 2010 with an investment of US$ 35 billion for
the proposed airports.

Railroads
The Indian Railways took up the most ambitious ever annual plan for fiscal 2008-09, entailing an enormous
investment of US$ 7.91 billion, registering a 21 per cent increase over the previous year. The plan includes a
total budgetary support of US$ 1.66 billion including US$ 163.33 million to be provided from the Central Road
Fund.

• A total investment of US$ 5.6 billion has been planned for the two corridors, US$ 3.3 billion for the
Western and US$ 2.3 billion for the Eastern, respectively.
• Two new rail routes have been sanctioned by the Cabinet. These are the Western corridor between
Dadri in Uttar Pradesh and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in Navi Mumbai and an Eastern corridor
connecting Dankuni (near Kolkata) to Ludhiana, Punjab for which construction will commence from
2010-11.

Roads

During 2007-08, US$ 1.86 billion had been provided for the national highways and for state roads. Of this
amount, US$ 1.5 billion is for national highways and US$ 0.36 billion for state roads. An amount of US$ 0.04
billion has also been allocated during 2007-08 for the development of state roads.
According to a consultation paper by the Planning Commission, investment in the roads sector during the
Eleventh Plan is projected at US$ 93.11 billion.

Electricity

During the Eleventh Plan, the government aims to add power generation capacity of about 70,000 MW and
provide electricity to all un-electrified hamlets and all rural households through the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen
Vidyutikaran Yojna (RGGVY).

Telecom and IT

The Eleventh Plan envisages reaching a telecom subscriber base of 600 million, with 200 million rural
telephone connections and attaining a broadband coverage of 20 million and 40 million Internet connections.

Investments

According to the Planning Commission consultation paper, US$ 494 billion of investment is proposed for the
Eleventh Plan period (2007-12), which would increase the share of infrastructure investment to 9 per cent of
GDP from 5 per cent in 2006-07.

Private investment is expected to account for over 65 per cent of total investment in telecom, ports and
airport sectors during the Eleventh Plan.
Moreover, the World Bank has said that it will lend US$ 14 billion to India by 2012 for infrastructure
development.

Japan has agreed to provide loans to the tune of US$ 1.4 billion for four major infrastructure projects
including the Delhi Metro.

Investment in Rural Infrastructure

The government has started a special programme, Bharat Nirman, for the improvement of India's rural
infrastructure. Out of the total projected investment of US$ 301.37 billion to be incurred by the centre and the
states in the Eleventh Plan, US$ 85.53 billion would be spent entirely towards improvement of rural
infrastructure.

Government Initiatives

The Eleventh Plan targets a growth rate of 9 per cent. Initiatives such as the National Highways Development
Programme (NHDP), the Airport Financing Plan, and the National Maritime Development Programme and the
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) are efforts in the same direction.

To enhance liquidity and check depreciation of the rupee, the Ministry of Finance has modified norms to
permit companies in the mining, exploration and refineries sectors to bring in up to US$ 500 million in external
commercial borrowing (ECB). Earlier, the limit was US$ 50 million. Further, the ministry has stated a five-fold
increase in the figure that companies building roads, ports and other infrastructure projects are allowed to
bring in from overseas.

Business Review

The main business area of SEFPL has been in Infrastructure Equipment financing. The infrastructure sector
represents the core sector of the Indian economy. The demand for infrastructure equipments generally
outstrips its supply in the market. This sector will witness unprecedented growth with the Government set to

21
Private & Confidential – For Private Circulation only

redefine the infrastructure sector and widen its definition to include the core sector of the economy.
Government of India has renewed its focus in the infrastructure sector.

The Company has entered into a strategic alliance with BNP Paribas Lease Group, a subsidiary of BNP Paribas
of France for equipment financing business, as well as for expanding to new areas such as financing of
agriculture equipment, medical equipment, information technology and other equipment classes. SEFPL will
concentrate on financing of those assets whose individual value is equal to or less than Rs. 15 crores.

During FY2010, the Company disbursed Rs 6,004 crores and retained its leadership in the Infrastructure
Equipment Finance business. Many new business schemes were introduced in the market like 'Mother of all
Events' - the 919 PKN-s in August - 9 editions of 'Paison ki Nilami' (Srei's flagship event of equipment financing
through auction of interest rates) in 9 different cities one after the other.

the Registrar.

Hence, applicants are advised to update their Demographic Details as provided to their Depository
