Companies have not been able to raise money thru IPOs,which have nosedived… by amount
Marginally more money could be raised thru GDRs/ADRs, courtesy the IT boom…
Debt private placements as a whole had risen dramatically,only courtesy SLUs and FIs… but even this is falling now,both by amount
Private sector is, however, raising more money.But most of it is either for retiring old expensive debt…
In fact, number of VC funds investing in Indian companies has also declined sharply…
The bad news is that most funds are now investing in later-stage
Projects financed thru public issues are now non-existent.Aggregate values have fallen…
Retail investors, who were acting as venture capitalists, have vanished…
Loans (Banks/FIs)- on one hand,the problems of NPAs- on the other, no lendable proposals or no lending despite rising deposits,courtesy CVC/CBI
