Meanwhile, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said that public sector banks have emerged as strong, competitive institutions standing shoulder to shoulder with private and foreign banks in supporting India’s growth.
He pointed out that banks recorded profits of around Rs 3 lakh crore last year, demonstrating their capacity to lend to honest borrowers. Goyal urged banks to lend liberally and responsibly, speed up and increase transparency of loan approvals and provide capital and guidance to MSMEs helping them leverage government schemes.
