Infrastructure term lender IFCI Ltd today reported widening of standalone net loss to Rs 176.87 crore for the December quarter of the current fiscal.
The company had registered a net loss of Rs 45.17 crore for the October-December quarter of last fiscal.
Its total income rose slightly to Rs 655.53 crore during the quarter under review, as against Rs 635.55 crore in the year-ago period, IFCI said in a regulatory filing.
The entire financial sector is under stress due to the burden of non performing assets, significantly in the infrastructure and iron and steel sectors, the company said in a separate statement.
"IFCI is no exception in the financial sector and large amount of slippage in standard assets to non standard assets in 2016-17 has impacted the operational income and the net earnings," it added.
The IFCI stock closed 2.17 per cent down at Rs 24.80 on BSE.
