The debt will be raised from banks and financial institutions. The plan to borrow a part of the funds for acquisition of assets through the sale of bonds to the public has been shelved.

Earlier the NHIT had expressed its intention to raise ₹3,000 from the public this year. "The public issue of bonds will now come in the next financial year," the official who did not wish to be named said.
