LED by a sharp plunge in retail credit, overall bank credit has more than halved to just 11% in FY25 from a high 20.11% in FY24.
Retail loan disbursals declined to 11.6% from a high 27.6% during the period the previous year, the latest Reserve Bank data showed.
Fall in credit disbursement is because lenders scaled down disbursements in the unsecured loans segment due to regulatory concern and the high base effect. The decline was led by a sharp fall in home loans growth to 10.7% YoY in FY25, down from 36.5% in FY24.
