India Enters Strong Unsecured Credit Growth Cycle Led by Personal Loans: UBS
India is entering a strong growth phase in unsecured credit, primarily driven by personal loans, according to a UBS report. This cycle follows three years of improving asset quality across microfinance, credit cards, and unsecured business loans. Stable household leverage, ample liquidity, and a more risk-on lending approach support this trend. Personal loan growth accelerated to 9% year-on-year for banks and 30% for NBFCs in August 2026, while gold loan growth is expected to moderate as prices stabilize, potentially boosting personal loans further.
