Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) has sanctioned and released a ₹1,000 crore term loan to Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MAHAGENCO). The disbursal was completed on April 6, 2026, as per an exchange filing.  

The development comes shortly after IRFC signed a ₹12,842 crore loan agreement with Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited, indicating ongoing lending activity across infrastructure-linked entities.  

Borrower and Sector Context 

MAHAGENCO is the largest power generation utility in Maharashtra and supplies electricity across the state. Its operations form a core part of the state’s energy network. 

The loan is to support routine funding requirements and ongoing generation activities. The transaction adds to IRFC’s exposure to the power sector.  

IRFC’s Evolving Lending Scope 

IRFC was established in 1986 as the financing arm of the Ministry of Railways. Its initial mandate focused on raising resources for railway infrastructure. 

Over time, its lending has expanded to sectors linked to infrastructure, including power, transmission, mining, coal, logistics, and urban transport. The company continues to operate as a government-owned financier.  

Asset Quality and Portfolio
