India's Bank Deposits and Credit Growth Accelerate with $37 Billion NRI Dollar Inflows
Bank deposits in India grew at their fastest rate in nearly a decade by July, rising 15.4% year-on-year, driven largely by foreign currency non-resident (FCNR) deposits totaling about $37 billion since June. Total inflows reached nearly $41 billion by July 31, surpassing previous schemes. Bank credit growth also accelerated to 19.4%, supported by corporate demand and MSME lending. The FCNR scheme, introduced by the Reserve Bank of India to attract dollar inflows, will continue until September 30, 2026, amid challenges in local deposit mobilization.
