'Not worrisome' : SBI says credit quality strong and inflation impact limited; household borrowing rises
India's household debt levels have risen steadily in recent years, but the underlying credit quality and loan composition suggest the increase is not alarming, the State Bank of India said in a report released Monday. The analysis, citing Reserve Bank of India data and internal assessment, stated that household debt remains 'manageable and not worrisome,' with nearly two-thirds of retail borrowers classified as prime or above, ANI quoted. It attributed the increase to a broader borrower base rather than a sharp rise in average loan size. According to SBI, productive loans—such as those for agriculture, business, or education—make up 30% of the household credit portfolio, while home and vehicle loans, considered asset-creating, contribute another 25%. Consumption-led credit, including personal loans, credit cards, and consumer durable financing, accounts for 45% of household borrowing, the report said. SBI noted that India's household debt as a share of GDP stands at 42%, significantly lower than the 49.1% average seen across other emerging market economies (EMEs). The report also pointed to India's ongoing monetary easing cycle as a source of relief. The Reserve Bank of India has already lowered the benchmark repo rate by 100 basis points, helping reduce interest costs for households. As a result, nearly 80% of the retail and MSME loan books—linked to the External Benchmark Lending Rate (EBLR)—are expected to benefit. The SBI report estimated this could result in savings of Rs 50,000–60,000 for households over time, as the easing cycle is likely to continue for another two years. Last week, the RBI announced a 50-basis-point cut in the policy repo rate to 5.5%, along with a phased reduction in the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 100 basis points starting September 6.

As per a notification by RBI on Monday, the total notified amount for sale is Rs 30,000 crore, which includes Rs 5,000 crore of 6.98 per cent SGrBs maturing in 2054. RBI said 'Government of India (GoI) has announced the sale (re-issue) of three dated securities for a notified amount of Rs 30,000'. Sovereign green bonds are government-issued bonds specifically aimed at financing environmentally sustainable projects. The proceeds from these bonds are allocated to sectors such as renewable energy, clean transportation, sustainable water management, and energy efficiency. These bonds serve both to promote climate-conscious growth and to attract environmentally focused investors. In addition to the sovereign green bonds, two other dated securities will also be re-issued: Rs 11,000 crore of 6.79 per cent government securities maturing in 2031, and Rs 14,000 crore of 7.09 per cent securities maturing in 2074. The auction will be conducted using a multiple price method via RBI's e-Kuber platform. Non-competitive bids must be submitted between 10:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., and competitive bids between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on the auction day. The results will be announced on the same day, and successful bidders will need to make payments on June 16, 2025. The government also retains the option to accept up to Rs 2,000 crore of additional subscriptions against each of the securities. The stocks will be eligible for 'When Issued' trading from June 10 to June 13, 2025, allowing investors to trade the securities even before they are formally issued. Primary Dealers may submit underwriting bids for the Additional Competitive Underwriting (ACU) portion between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on the same day. The re-issuance of sovereign green bonds highlights that the government's continued commitment to fund green infrastructure and sustainability initiatives, aligning with India's broader environmental and economic goals.

Kolkata, June 10 (UNI) The inflows into equity mutual funds in India declined by 21.66 per cent on a month-on-month basis at Rs 19,013.12 crore in May 2025, as compared with Rs 24,269.26 crore in April this year, according to ICRA Analytics senior vice-president and head of market data Ashwini Kumar. On a year-on-year basis, inflows dropped by nearly 45.2 per cent from Rs 34,697 crore last year as persistent concerns over India-U.S. trade relations following the conclusion of the 90-day pause continued to act as an external headwind. He said with the inflows to the tune of Rs 3214.21 crore, small cap funds continued to garner investor interest witnessing a growth of 17.97 per cent from Rs 2724.67 crore in May 2024. The Reserve Bank of India's latest move to slash repo rate by 50 basis points is expected to have a positive impact on the market and this is likely to draw retail investor's interest in mutual funds, Ashwini Kumar observed. "The industry AUM has touched Rs 72.20 lakh crore in May 2025 and we expect the industry to breach the Rs 100 lakh crore mark in the next few years," he said. UNI PC PRS
