This book attempts to critically examine the efficiency with which IFCI, ICICI and IDBI (one of the top ten development banks of the world) have managed their financial resources while performing their developmental role. Comprehensive in scope and covering a distinct phase of development banking spanning more than two decades, the book has three core parts: operational efficiency, allocational efficiency and client relationship. Some notable features of this book include estimated non-performing loans of these institutions, exchange risk management policies, role of convertibility clause, role of these institutions in financial intermediation, project financing and underwriting of public issues. Besides, control potential of these institutions in assisted units and experience and expectations of such units have also been examined to underscore the importance of client relationship for operational efficiency and future role of development banks. Despite the profit goal being in tune with developmental role of development banks, there is need for greater transparency and flexibility in their operations. The book would be useful to researchers, practitioners and policy makers in the areas of industrial finance, financial institutions and financial management.
