RBI Reports Over Double Increase in Commercial Sector Funding in April-July 2026-27
The Reserve Bank of India reported that financial resource flow to the commercial sector more than doubled to ₹10.65 trillion during April-July 2026-27, up from ₹4.48 trillion a year earlier. This growth was driven by a sharp rise in non-food bank credit, which increased to ₹6.69 trillion, and higher foreign funding, including foreign direct investment. Total outstanding credit from bank and non-bank sources grew 17.4% year-on-year to ₹323.14 trillion by July-end, reflecting broad-based credit expansion across industries, services, agriculture, and infrastructure.
