Rating agency Moody's has said that the latest announcement by the Indian government that it will frontload its planned Rs 70,000 crore capital infusion into the public sector banks (PSBs) will allow them to grow loans by around 13-15% in the current financial year (FY20) compared with about 10% in fiscal 2019 and will also allow them to meet the final Basel III capital requirements.
The capital infusion is part of India's government budget for fiscal 2020. The government's announcements of an upfront capital infusion of Rs 70,000 crore in PSBs will improve the bank's capitalisation and help them calibrate their balance sheet growth.
Besides, in order to boost lending and improving liquidity situation, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced upfront capital infusion of Rs 70,000 crore into public sector banks. The move is expected to generate additional lending and liquidity in the financial system to the tune of Rs 5 lakh crore.
