The Industrial Reconstruction Corporation of India (IRCI) was established in 1971 to provide financial, technical, and managerial assistance to sick industrial units to help rehabilitate them and make them viable. IRCI was reconstituted and renamed as the Industrial Reconstruction Bank of India (IRBI) in 1985 with a special act of Parliament to speed the reconstruction and rehabilitation of sick units. The objectives of IRCI were to assist the rehabilitation of sick industrial units showing promise of viability. It functions by providing technical and managerial guidance, helping units access financing from other institutions, and restructuring management and finances. IRCI's resources include an authorized capital of Rs. 25 crores subscribed to by IDBI and other banks.
