The finance ministry seeks to extend the 5:25 scheme to all stalled infrastructure projects. The scheme is likely to help easing project and finance bottlenecks. It will also address issues related to the non-performing assets.
Speaking to CNBC-TV18, KK Mohanty, MD, Gammon Infrastructure says the 5:25 scheme is a positive step for infra companies and will be more effective at lower interest rates.
