The National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development (NaBFID) is likely to begin its lending operations with about 190-200 big infrastructure projects in the railways, roads and energy sector, its newly appointed Chairman K V Kamath said.
Last month, the government had announced the appointment of the veteran banker as the chairperson of the newly set up development finance institution, aimed to catalyse investment in the fund-starved infrastructure sector in the country.
There are 193 projects above Rs 1,000 crore each which are there under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP), Kamath told news channel CNBC TV18 in an interview.
