Indian Banks Report Strong Q2 Deposit and Credit Growth Supported by FCNR-B Mobilisation
Indian banks reported strong deposit and credit growth in Q2 FY27, supported by foreign currency non-resident bank (FCNR-B) deposits mobilised under the Reserve Bank of India's concessional swap window, which closed on August 31. Total FCNR-B inflows reached around ₹133 billion, aiding liquidity. Public and private banks, including HDFC Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Bank of India, showed notable increases in deposits and advances, with private banks leading credit growth. The aggregate credit-deposit ratio remained near a decade high at about 82.6 percent.
