The projections for the term loan are estimated at ₹1,655.63 crore. For agriculture infrastructure, the potential is ₹387.77 crore. The amount projected for ancillary sectors under agriculture is ₹3,369.45 crore, as per the PLP.
The projection for MSME is assessed at ₹8,244.79 crore. The projection for export is ₹547.20 crore, housing ₹503.55 crore, education ₹268.56 crore, social infrastructure ₹39.96 crore, renewable energy ₹15.12 crore, and ₹1,111.72 crore is assessed for ‘other priority sector’’.
Taking a broader look at the thrust areas driving the economy of the district, NABARD CLP has indicated that agriculture and MSMEs accounted for 93% of the ground-level credit flow during 2023-24, and the same pattern is expected to be witnessed in the coming financial year as well.
It has also taken note of the government’s Beyond Bengaluru Mission under Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM) to point out that 5000 IT startup companies are expected to be hosted in the industrial clusters of Mysuru, Mangaluru, and Hubbali by the end of 2026, which will result in job generation for over 10 lakh people.
The NABARD’s PLP, which provides a detailed assessment of credit potential for various sectors in the district, also highlights sector-specific infrastructure gaps and critical interventions that need to be made to realise the full potential. It has identified a few major constraints concerning infrastructure in industrial areas and said there was scope for improvement.
