Indian Household Debt Rises Faster Than Assets in 2025, Report Finds
In 2025, Indian household debt grew 14.3%, outpacing the 9% rise in financial assets, leading to a net financial asset growth of 6.8%, according to the Allianz Global Wealth Report 2026. While insurance and pension assets increased strongly, deposits remained the largest asset category. Globally, market gains, especially in securities, drove most wealth growth, but Indian households had less exposure to these gains due to a conservative asset mix focused on deposits and insurance products.
