Indian Banks Expected to See Robust Credit Growth and Stable Asset Quality in FY27
Indian banks are expected to start FY27 with strong credit demand, improved deposit mobilisation, and stable asset quality, according to Ashika Institutional Equities. Non-food credit growth reached 18.6% year-on-year by June 2026, the highest in over a decade excluding the HDFC merger. The brokerage forecasts around 15% credit growth in FY27, supported by secured retail, MSME, services, and select corporate sectors. Additional funding from FCNR(B) deposits, projected at USD 50 billion by September 2026, may enhance liquidity. The Reserve Bank of India is anticipated to raise the repo rate by 25-50 basis points in the second half of FY27, potentially benefiting bank margins, though deposit costs and MSME asset quality remain areas to watch.
