Indeed, there have been frauds and other undesirable condition changes for certain different businesses.
Infrastructure has been the overcapitalized sector, where the credit by the bank has been contracting over the past couple of years, i.e. in both nominal and real terms, which is post hot credit growth for various years in a row after 2014.
Keeping in view the sustained growth in demand and consumption, the capacity utilization has increased across the various industries, which should lead to the beginning of private investment cycle provided, no disruption is reported.
