I'm not sure who the planned intervention is for, but it looks very much like it's for the corporate sectors.
The MSME sector, which is touted to employ 92% of India's labour has widely been reported as having taken a very bad hit after the double attack of GST and demonetization. RBI on the other hand is said to favor vulture funds (resembling IMF's 'solution' during the Asian crisis).
Then again, the Indian state has let high profile defaulter escape with impunity in the past few years. There are indications that this was done consciously, through PMO/CBI intervention.
All in all, I have very little trust in any institution of the Indian state.

- kamaal 8y ago>>not many people cared No person in India cares much anybody or anything else. Unless they are directly affected by it. People optimize so much personal good, that bad things happening to others are actually celebrated.
