Absence of reforms created huge NPAs in power, infrastructure sectors: Jaitley

14 Oct 2016 Evaluate

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the absence of reforms in infrastructure and power sectors by previous government created huge non-performing assets (NPAs) in the core segments. He also said there are various sectors that have been impacted by the global slowdown, but some of these were affected more because of the absence of reforms. 

He further said that their own inability to bring in reforms adequately in infrastructure and power sectors caused the difficulty in banks books.  He added that in the infrastructure sector the main problem is the inability to adequately and quickly settle the disputes. He said that they allowed them to pester for an indefinitely long period and now they have taken various steps including amending laws, setting up faster courts, among others.

Though, accepting that absence of reforms in state discom led to a stress in the power sector, Jaitley stated that the only silver lining is that the causes of the stress in power sector have been analysed quickly and correctly, and now they are addressing those problems. He said that bringing reforms in the country has become easier now than it was some years back.

Jaitley has said that there is a lot of maturity, which has come into the country's political system and this is noticed from the fact that reforming in India now is no longer as challenging as it used to be say 10 or 20 years ago. It can be noted that most of the over Rs 8.5 trillion of dud loans of banks, a large chunk are their exposure to infra and power sectors.
