Indian Banks Anticipate Higher Stressed Loans and Moderate Credit Growth in FY27
Indian banks face rising challenges in FY27 due to geopolitical tensions, inflation, and monsoon deficits, with stressed loans expected to increase, especially in MSME and retail sectors. Private banks may experience higher bad loan formation due to greater exposure to unsecured credit. Despite these pressures, credit growth is projected to remain robust, supported by strong demand and margin recovery. Banks also confront rising deposit costs and potential interest rate hikes, which could moderate credit growth in the latter half of the year, though capital buffers and provisioning remain strong.
