COMPANY PROFILE

SIDBI (small industrial development bank of India) was started with the motto

of refinancing as the sole business. RBI considers SIDBI and NABARD as two

refinancing institutions. As the mainfocus always has been this rather than

direct financing, the brand image of SIDBI has not changed in so many years.

In the banking sector as a whole, there are too many middle level banks that

come in direct contact with the customer and this has been the main reason

SIDBI is considered as the last resort for financing. SIDBI almost had a

monopoly in refinancing the small scale units but now there have been

competition from other commercial banks as well that have started initializing

the SME finance like ICICI and SBI. SIDBI has also started tying up with

other nationalized and commercial banks in this regard that can help it gain

some more visibility and selling the products that need aggressive marketing.

SIDBI has a special corporate status because it has got an expertise since 1964

and has been an agent in government schemes and finance is provided

considering all expenses related to the project from conceptualization of the

project to the successful execution of the project. They target the SME as they

are serving the niche market. It is also synonym to developmental banking as

they have soft corner for the SMEs and for this section of industry they have

liberal policies, promote and develop small scale industries. Helping entrepreneur

is also one of the functions and duties of SIDBI.

DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK

The major issues confronting MSMEs are identified to be:

Technology obsolescence Managerial inadequacies Delayed Payments Poor Quality Incidence of Sickness Lack of Appropriate Infrastructure and Lack of Marketing Network

There can be many more similar issues hindering the orderly growth of

MSMEs. Over the years, SIDBI has put in place financing schemes either

through its direct financing mechanism or through indirect assistance mechanism

and special focus programmes under its P&D initiatives. In its approach, SIDBI

has struck a good balance between financing and providing other support

services.

CO-ORDINATION AND UNDERSTANDING

As an apex institution, SIDBI makes use of the network of the banks and

state level financial Institutions, which have retail outlets. SIDBI supplements

the efforts of existing institutions through its direct assistance schemes to reach

financial assistance to the ultimate borrowers in the small scale sector.

through the network of other retail institutions in the financial system.

Improved levels of co-ordination for development of the small scale sector is

also achieved through a system of dialogue and obtaining feedback from the

representatives of institutions of small scale industries who are on the SIDBI's

National Advisory Committee and Regional Advisory Committees.
