The prevailing high interest rates are impeding the growth of the industrial sector, a top bank official has said.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a CII meet in Kolkata on Monday, ICICI Bank MD and CEO K V Kamath said the light engineering and transportation sectors had already been hit following a slump in sales of commercial vehicles due to high rates. The mortgage-based finance which is interlinked with these sectors will
see a slowdown, he added.
