PFC and REC together are expected to finance 30 to 40 percent of this investment through direct loans and facilitating external commercial borrowings. This financing opportunity directly drives PFC&#8217;s loan book growth for decades.<\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-schema\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Power Finance Corporation
