It is not only corporate credit that has been slowed down, at 5.5%, down from 7.7% a year ago; consumption loans have also tapered off and printed in at only 14.5% year-on-year to ₹105.6 lakh crore in Q1FY26. This is led primarily by gold loans, which surged 34.6%, followed by two-wheeler and auto loans, while home loans have slowed to under 10% and its agri and small business loans that are holding up.
