Indian Banks Expect Double-Digit Corporate Credit Growth in Fiscal Year 2027

Indian banks anticipate double-digit growth in corporate lending for fiscal year 2027, driven by demand from sectors like renewable energy, infrastructure, auto manufacturing, and data centres. Major lenders including State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda report strong loan pipelines, with SBI projecting 13-15% credit growth supported by a ₹5.5 lakh crore pipeline. While growth prospects are positive, some banks note liquidity challenges in sustaining this expansion.
