India's GDP has more than doubled in last decade, FDI inflows jumped 1.43%
In the past eleven years, India has risen from the eleventh to the fourth largest economy in the world. Our GDP has more than doubled-from USD 2.1 trillion in 2014 to USD 4.3 trillion in 2025 noted Hardeep Singh Puri, Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas. We have recently overtaken Japan and are poised to become the third-largest economy by 2030, overtaking Germany, the Minister remarked, highlighting the nation's resilience during global headwinds and the critical role played by bold policy reforms, extensive social welfare schemes, and sound financial management. The Minister emphasized India's success in attracting global investment, with USD 748 billion of foreign direct investment inflows between 2014 and 2025-an increase of 143% over the previous decade-and the expansion of source countries from 89 to 112. Landmarks in policy reform, including the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Production-Linked Incentive schemes, the Goods and Services Tax, Direct Benefit Transfers, and the elimination of over 25,000 compliances and 1,400 obsolete laws, have strengthened the nation's business landscape. The transformation in tax administration underscores India's evolving financial culture: annual Income Tax Returns filed grew from 3.6 crore in FY 2013-14 to 8.5 crore in FY 2024-25, with 95% processed within 30 days. He further stated that India's banking sector has also witnessed a historic turnaround, with gross non-performing assets of Scheduled Commercial Banks dropping from 14.58% in FY 2017-18 to below 3% in FY 2024-25. The digital economy's backbone, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), now handles nearly 50% of real-time digital transactions globally, serving over 500 million active users. Fintech adoption stands at 87%, compared to the 67% global average, facilitated by India's universal digital identity and access through Aadhaar and mobile services.

Scheduled Commercial Banks further improved their liquidity positions
Reserve Bank of India or RBI has released the June 2025 issue of the Financial Stability Report today. The central bank noted that macro stress test results showed that Scheduled Commercial Banks or SCBs' aggregate capital levels will continue to remain above the regulatory minimum even under adverse stress scenarios. SCBs have further improved their liquidity positions in March 2025, as evident from the strengthening of both liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR). Both LCR and NSFR have been comfortably above the regulatory minimum of 100 per cent across bank groups. The aggregate gross-non-performing-asset ratio of the 46 banks may marginally edge up from 2.3% in March 2025 to 2.5% in March 2027 under the baseline scenario and to 5.6% and 5.3% under the adverse scenario of geopolitical risk and adverse scenario of global growth slowdown respectively. The results revealed that the aggregate capital adequacy ratio of major scheduled commercial banks may marginally dip to 17% by March 2027 from 17.2% in March 2025, under the baseline scenario. It may decline to 14.2% under the adverse scenario of geopolitical risks and to 14.6% under the adverse scenario of global growth slowdown.

Bank loan: Retail loan stress may reverse NPA gains, CareEdge warns of unsecured segment risks in H1FY26
Non-performing assets (NPAs) in India's banking sector may inch up in the first half of FY26, driven by growing stress in the retail loan segment — especially unsecured personal and microfinance loans, according to a report released by CareEdge Ratings on Friday. The report estimates that the Gross NPA (GNPA) ratio for Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) could rise marginally from 2.3 per cent at the end of FY25 to 2.3–2.4 per cent by the end of FY26. 'With the personal loans segment facing stress, especially unsecured personal and microfinance loans, the overall fresh slippages are expected to rise,' the agency said as quoted by ANI. This potential reversal follows years of consistent improvement in asset quality. Since March 2019, the GNPA ratio has steadily declined, helped by regulatory relief during the pandemic such as loan moratoriums and NPA recognition forbearance. The ratio improved further in FY25, reaching 2.3 per cent by the end of Q4, driven by recoveries, higher write-offs, and lower slippages across bank groups. Private sector banks (PVBs), however, continued to record higher slippage ratios than public sector banks (PSBs), mainly due to increased NPA formation from unsecured lending to individuals and small businesses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo While retail and services sectors have shown improvement — with GNPA in services falling to 2.3 per cent in December 2024 from 7.2 per cent in March 2020 — retail NPAs remain a concern, especially in education loans and credit card dues. CareEdge also highlighted a structural shift in India's credit landscape, with banks leaning more toward retail lending amid falling corporate credit demand, corporate deleveraging, and the availability of alternative funding options. As of December 2024, household debt stood at 42.1 per cent of GDP, relatively low by global standards but rising steadily. While asset quality remains broadly healthy, the agency warned that continued pressure from unsecured retail lending could result in more fresh slippages and slower recoveries in the coming quarters Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
