RBI's New Rules on Project Loan Provisions

The RBI has introduced new rules affecting project loans, requiring banks to set aside a higher percentage of provisions for large infrastructure project loans. These project-financed loans involve significant amounts of money lent to big corporations for various infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and airports. The RBI's aim is to ensure banks are better prepared for any potential risks associated with these loans by increasing the provision percentage from the current 0.4% to potentially up to 5%. This move has stirred concerns among banks and NBFCs due to the impact on their profits and potential repercussions on interest rates for borrowers.
