30 Jun 2020 Evaluate
Indian equity bourses remained in green terrain in late morning deals, on the back of positive cues from other Asian markets. Heavy buying at Realty and Metal counters, was also helping key indices to maintain their trade in green terrain. Traders were seen taking a note of reports that nearly a fifth of the 45 lakh small businesses identified by the government to benefit from a credit guarantee scheme have low credit rankings, and banks should prioritise the remaining 80 per cent while extending loans under the Rs 3 lakh crore package. The Guaranteed Emergency Credit Line (GECL) facility is applicable to all MSME (micro, small and medium enterprises) borrowers with industry-wide aggregate credit exposure of up to Rs 25 crore and industry-wide delinquency less than or equal to 60 days as of February 29, 2020.

That beat expectations for 50.4 and was up from 50.6 in May. It also moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
