Crisil Projects India's Non-Sovereign Debt to Reach 150% of GDP by 2047
A Crisil report projects India's non-sovereign debt rising from about 84% of GDP today to nearly 150% by 2047 to support the government's Viksit Bharat vision of a $30 trillion economy. Given banking sector constraints like sluggish deposit growth and a high credit-deposit ratio, the debt capital market—including corporate bonds, securitisation, and municipal bonds—must expand significantly. The report highlights the need for broader issuer participation, deeper investor engagement, and a more active secondary market to diversify funding sources beyond banks.
