Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal has proposed a long-term infrastructure bond with a fixed coupon rate.
At an interaction, organised by the Indian Chamber of Commerce, the Union minister said, long-term financing was a worry for the segment, especially after the transformation of IDBI and ICICI.
The minister said he had suggested the idea of a 25-year bond to a senior official of the largest bank over the weekend.
"I am open to suggestions on how to reignite long-term financial infrastructure," he added.
In the last four to five weeks, the minister said, the focus had been on regaining ability to get credit
