One of the primary reasons behind this slowdown is the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to increase the risk weightage on certain loans to NBFCs. The RBI's move was aimed at moderating the bank credit to the NBFC segment.
Despite this decline, credit to the services segment has shown a remarkable growth of 17.4%, accounting for 27.3% of the total bank loans. Within the services segment, commercial real estate has emerged as the highest growing segment, with a year-on-year growth of 40%. Transport loans have also seen a significant growth of 18.7%.
Banks have added over Rs 14,000 crore of loans to commercial real estate during the first quarter of the current financial year, while loans to transport operators have grown by over Rs 12,000 crore during the same period.
The personal loan segment continues to be the biggest driver of bank credit, with a growth rate of 25% year-on-year after factoring in the HDFC-HDFC Bank merger. Within personal loans, home loans are the fastest growing segment, with a year-on-year growth rate of 36% (18% excluding the impact of the HDFC merger).
Home loans outstanding have now reached Rs 32.82 lakh crore, accounting for 16.5% of the overall bank credit, which stands at Rs 168.8 lakh crore. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the central banking authority of India, responsible for regulating and supervising the banking sector in the country. HDFC Bank is a leading Indian banking and financial services company, providing a range of services including personal loans, home loans, credit cards, and more.
