Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA) today welcomed the reduction in the Repo Rate by 0.25 per cent, announced by RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan.
However, the interest rate cut would be helpful to quote competitive rate and sustain in the global market only when the banks pass on the measures to the SME units and exporting units, TEA President, A Shaktivel said in a statement.
He also pointed out that due to absence of a decisive economic recovery in the global market including continuance of deceleration in China's Economy, reduction in the interest rate would be helpful at this crucial period.
