Chittoor earmarks ₹17,809 crore Annual Credit Plan for 2025-26
Releasing the ACP booklet during the District Consultative Committee (DCC) and District Level Review Committee (DLRC) meeting at the Collectorate here, the Collector highlighted the importance of ensuring prompt disbursal of loans to the farming sector and entrepreneurs.
The Collector said that of the total credit plan, agriculture and allied activities will get the lion's share with ₹12,195.27 crore, constituting 68.4% of the lending. 'This major share will benefit about 6.38 lakh farmers and landless farm workers,' he said.
The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector will receive ₹2,216.07 crore (12.44%), while other priority sectors will be provided with ₹220.81 crore. 'Commercial banks will shoulder ₹11,843.43 crore, which forms 66.5% of the integrated plan. The Andhra Pradesh Grameena Vikas Bank has been earmarked with ₹4,594.28 crore (25.79%), and the District Cooperative Central Bank (DCCB) will get a share of ₹1,233.59 crore (6.9%) and Small Finance Banks at ₹138.07 crore (0.77%),' the Collector said.
Mr. Kumar directed the banks to liberally support initiatives implemented by both Central and State governments such as Stand Up India, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana. He asked the banks to reach the targets set under each scheme within the timeframe, mainly for the benefit of farmers seeking crop loans, and to the dairy and poultry sectors, and the MSMEs.
Mr. Kumar said that facilitating access to credit without delays would be an essential gesture for rural economic growth and inclusive development.
Representatives from the Reserve Bank of India led by Rohit Agarwal, NABARD Divisional Manager Sunil, LDM Harish, and senior officials from the Agriculture and allied departments were present.

Formula-E Race Deal… ACB quizzes Arvind Kumar on KTR's role in transfer of funds
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) today subjected IAS officer Arvind Kumar to a rigorous six-hour interrogation in connection with the ongoing Formula E-race case. This marks the third time the former Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) official has been summoned by the probing agency regarding alleged financial irregularities in the Formula E-Race deal. ACB officials reportedly questioned Mr Kumar extensively on the role of former MA&UD minister KT Rama Rao in the transfer of funds to the Formula E-race company without obtaining due government approval. Sources indicate that the IAS officer arrived at the ACB headquarters at 11:40 AM and departed around 5:15 PM, with the questioning session punctuated by a 30-minute lunch break and two tea breaks. Mr Kumar was reportedly pressed on allegations raised by complainant Principal Secretary M Dana Kishore, particularly concerning his involvement in transferring funds overseas. The ACB registered a First Information Report (FIR) against KTR on 19 December last year. The FIR also named Aravind Kumar, then Special Chief Secretary to Government, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) department, and B L N Reddy, then Chief Engineer of Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA). The complainant alleges that the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) made payments exceeding Rs 54.88 crore to Formula-E Operations Limited (FEO) and associated entities, bypassing standard financial protocols. According to the FIR, Rs 45.7 crore was transferred to FEO between September and October 2023, despite FEO having already terminated its agreement with the Telangana government. This payment reportedly incurred an additional tax burden of Rs 8.06 crore, which was absorbed by the HMDA. A tripartite agreement signed in October 2022 between the Telangana government, FEO, and event sponsor Ace Nxt Gen Pvt Ltd had initially limited the State government's financial responsibility. However, the FIR claims that disputes between FEO and Ace Nxt Gen Pvt Ltd led to the government assuming financial liability without necessary regulatory approvals, thereby causing significant losses to the exchequer.
