Background
The Prime Minister had reviewed the state of the economy earlier this month as well along with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The centre is attempting to go all out to trigger the revival of the Indian economy amid the COVID pandemic.
The nationwide lockdown imposed to curb coronavirus spread had a severe impact on all sectors of the economy. The centre has since then announced several measures to support and provide additional liquidity to key sectors including banks, MSME and agriculture. The banks are seeking a one-time restructuring of loans and further liquidity infusion from the RBI to support them during the present downturn.
