Ministry of Finance in its latest release has showed that the total number of guarantees issued under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) 5.0 has crossed the 1 lakh mark, reaching a total of 1,06,549 with total amount of guarantees at Rs 48,484.26 crore, as on June 9, 2026.
This achievement demonstrates the extensive scale of credit protection being extended to lenders. Out of the total coverage, 96% of the guarantees issued by number and 86% of the total guaranteed amount belong to the MSME sector. Large participation by Public Sector Banks, accounting for 96% of guarantees, has ensured the quick acceptance of the scheme.
ECLGS 5.0, which was approved by the Union Cabinet on May 5, 2026, aims to infuse additional credit of Rs 2,55,000 crore to existing borrower to tide over the liquidity challenges arising due to West Asia crisis. By providing 100% and 90% guarantee coverage to MSME and non-MSME sectors respectively, it has encouraged financial institutions to extend credit aggressively, ensuring that liquidity flows to the sectors that need it most.
