Credit to Infra sector from banks, NBFCs remains muted at Rs 21.2 lakh crore in H1FY20: ICRA

07 Jan 2020 Evaluate

ICRA in its latest report has said that credit to infrastructure sector from banks and non-bank financing companies (NBFCs) remained muted at Rs 21.2 lakh crore in April-September period of the current fiscal (H1FY20).  The tepidness in the first half of FY20 has been led by de-growth in banking sector credit to infrastructure segment, though infrastructure finance non-bank companies (IFCs) continued to grow at a modest pace of 17 per cent year-on-year, and and 12 per cent sequentially.

The infrastructure credit had witnessed a 19 per cent growth in FY19 to Rs 21.1 lakh crore. Majority of the infrastructure credit growth in FY19 was also back ended. Hence, a pickup in H2 FY20 cannot be ruled out, though the pressure on fiscal position may limit the government's push towards expenditure on infrastructure and hence constrain a major reversal in trend. The growth in the total infrastructure credit in FY20 is likely to remain lower than last year.

The report mentioned that the decline in share of banks during past few years was largely attributable to the conversion of their exposures to state distribution companies (discoms) into bonds and the subdued lending amid asset quality issues and capital constraints. Moreover, it said the progress on stressed thermal asset resolution is slow, despite the various measures undertaken by the government and the lenders.
