NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Bad loans and stressed assets in Indian Banks are estimated at 10 trillion rupees (117.01 billion pounds/$153.49 billion), India’s Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian said on Wednesday.
India announced on Tuesday a 2.11 trillion recapitalization plan for its state-owned banks over the next two years, in a bid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to tackle a major drag on the economy that has frustrated his attempts to boost growth.
