Jefferies Forecasts India's Bank Credit Growth to Moderate to 15% by March 2027
Jefferies projects India's domestic bank credit growth to moderate from about 18% currently to 15% by March 2027, mainly due to a higher comparison base resetting in December 2026. Despite this slowdown, lending momentum is expected to remain strong, supported by robust credit demand and banks gaining market share from bonds and external commercial borrowings. Additionally, overseas banking operations may contribute to overall credit expansion. Corporate loans continue to be the primary driver of credit growth, while deposit growth is also strengthening.
