Banks seek RBI relief on InvIT lending rules, warn 3-yr track record rule may slow infra monetisation & fresh funding

Banks have asked the Reserve Bank of India to relax new lending rules for Infrastructure Investment Trusts. The proposed three-year operational track record requirement could delay infrastructure monetisation and new project funding. Lenders prefer asset quality over trust age for financing eligibility. This change aims to ensure smoother fund recycling and attract global investors for new infrastructure projects.
