In view of the critical event and at this juncture where infrastructure funding is taking centrestage, Vivek Kumar Dewangan, Chairman and Managing Director, REC, said, "After becoming a Maharatna company in 2022, the Ministry of Power allowed us to diversify into non-power infrastructure and logistics wherein we've been allowed to diversify up to one- third of our loan book into non-power sectors. In the current fiscal year, we are targeting sanctions of about Rs 1-1.25 trillion in these new areas including roads, highways, airports, and metropolitan railway projects among others. We are committed to nation-building and funding India's growth story.
