"Further, credit potential of Rs 19,012 crore has been projected towards MSME sector, while credit potential for informal credit -- SHGs/JLGs -- has been pegged at Rs 2,204 crore," the statement added.
Potential to borrow in the housing and education sectors was projected at Rs 2,239 crore, NABARD said.
