The Rs 50,000-crore loan guarantee scheme announced by the government on Monday is not enough to trigger health sector investments in non-metro cities even though it would help smaller players bridge the gap in building facilities in tier II and III towns, experts have said.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the government would provide 75 per cent coverage for new projects and 50 per cent for those in expansion mode in the non-metros. A maximum loan of up to Rs 100 crore would be given for up to three years at the interest rate capped at 7.95 per cent.
