RBI has revised priority sector lending (PSL) guidelines to include entrepreneurship and renewable resources, in line with emerging national priorities.
This includes
Loans to farmers for installation of solar power plants for solarisation of grid-connected agriculture pumps and
Loans for setting up Compressed BioGas plants.
Revised PSL guidelines will enable:
Better credit penetration to credit deficient areas;
Increase the lending to small and marginal farmers and weaker sections;
Boost credit to renewable energy, and health infrastructure.
