Rs. 21000 Crore

The government has provided a credit line of 21,000 crores to support millions of farmers who have been left short of cash to buy seeds and fertilisers for their winter crops after its decision to cancel 500 and 1,000 rupee bank notes.

Pressing ahead with its policy to promote the domestic production and research of military equipment, the government on Saturday cleared procurement proposals worth over Rs 21,000 crore. It also cleared a project for the production of transport aircraft which is open only to Indian private sector companies.
