India's Bank Credit Growth Expected to Outpace Deposits in Fiscal Year 2027

Analysts project that in fiscal year 2027, India's bank credit growth will outpace deposit growth, with credit expected to expand by 12-14% and deposits by 10-12%, assuming a real GDP growth of around 7%. In FY26, credit grew 16.1% and deposits 13.5%, reaching record highs. The credit-deposit ratio also rose to an all-time high of 85%. Revised liquidity norms may free additional lendable resources, supporting credit expansion.
