Indian Bank Projects Gold Loan Portfolio to Surpass Rs 1.5 Lakh Crore by FY27-End
Indian Bank expects its gold loan portfolio to exceed Rs 1.5 lakh crore by the end of the current financial year, driven by robust demand despite a 30% decline in gold prices. The bank anticipates about 20% growth in this segment, primarily from increased loan volumes. Retail, Agriculture, and MSME sectors constitute 65% of the loan book. Additionally, the bank reported a 15.3% growth in CASA deposits in the first quarter and raised USD 400 million through overseas bond issuance.
