RBI Proposes Rs 100 Crore Loan Limit for Agriculture Infrastructure and Food Processing PSL
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has proposed allowing bank loans up to Rs 100 crore per borrower for agriculture infrastructure and food and agro-processing activities to qualify as priority sector lending (PSL). The draft guidelines include eligible activities such as warehouses, cold storage, soil conservation, and biogas plants. The overall PSL target remains at 40% of adjusted net bank credit, with agriculture at 18%. The proposal also suggests changes to eligibility criteria for small farmers, housing, education, and renewable energy loans.
