Which of the following are the objectives and functions of IDBI?

  • A.To provide technical and administrative assistance for promotion or expansion of industry
  • B.To undertake market and investment research and surveys as also technical and economic studies in connection with development of industry.
  • C.To act as lender of last resort and to finance projects that are in conformity with national priorities
  • D.All of these

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of these

All three describe IDBI's mandate as it was constituted in 1964. It was to provide technical and administrative assistance for the promotion and expansion of industry; to undertake market and investment research and technical and economic studies bearing on industrial development; and to act as the lender of last resort within the industrial finance system, financing projects consistent with national priorities.

The breadth reflects its position as the apex institution: it coordinated and refinanced the other development finance institutions as well as lending directly, until the model was wound down and IDBI became a commercial bank.
