With Linetrust providing long term debt at 4% max par annum will have a huge impact on the bottom-line of the company” said DhruvGoel , director of Capitico PRG Pvt. Ltd.

Citing the example of Ballarpur Industries Limited, one of the largest makers of writing and printing papers in India, who have run into problems recently due to a heavy debt burden and are forced to sell its holding companies to raise capital, Goel said , “other companies too are facing similar problems. Low cost debt will definitely help companies to turn around.”
