Asset reconstruction companies set to grow 10% this fiscal: Report

The asset reconstruction industry is set to clock the best growth this fiscal as their asset under management is expected to increase by almost 10 per cent to Rs 1.1 lakh crore, a report said on Thursday. The 29-player ARC (asset reconstruction company) industry began its journey in the second half of 2002 and has since undergone radical regulatory changes and challenges. With the beginning of operation of public sector National Asset Reconstruction Company Limited (NARCL) and rising popularity of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) effective from May 2016 also pose challenge for the ARC industry. Another major challenge is the steep fall in banks' non-performing assets (NPAs), which is set to fall to under 5 per cent by March, down from over 11 per cent in FY18. Assets under management (AUM) of ARCs are set to grow 9.8 per cent to a five-year high this fiscal, driven by a few large transactions to Rs 1.19 lakh crore. The AUM stood at Rs 1.09 lakh crore in FY22 and at Rs 1.03
