Bank deposits grew by 10% in FY25, growth decline from 13% recorded in FY24: RBI Data
New Delhi [India], June 2 (ANI): The growth of bank deposits in India slowed down to 10.6 per cent year-on-year in the financial year ended March 2025 as compared to 13 per cent in the previous fiscal, according to new data released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Despite the slower growth, the overall deposit base remains strong. Term deposits continued to make up the largest share of total deposits, accounting for 59.5 per cent as of March 2025.
This was slightly lower than the 60 per cent recorded in the previous year. Savings deposits saw a drop in share to 29.1 per cent from 30.8 per cent in March 2024 and 33 per cent in March 2023. Current deposits, however, remained steady at 9.8 per cent.
The RBI data showed a clear trend of increasing preference for term deposits over the past few years. Higher interest rates on these deposits encouraged more people to invest in them.
The RBI said, 'Nearly 68.4 per cent of term deposits had the original maturity of one to three years as on March 2025'.
Also, the share of term deposits offering interest rates of 7 per cent and above rose significantly to 72.7 per cent in March 2025 from 64.2 per cent in March 2024 and 33.5 per cent in March 2023.
Large-sized deposits also grew. Term deposits of Rs. one crore and above made up 45.1 per cent of total term deposits in March 2025, up from 43.7 per cent in the previous year.
RBI also noted that the households continued to be the main contributors to bank deposits, accounting for 60.2 per cent of the total in March 2025. Within this, female depositors held a 20.7 per cent share. Senior citizens' deposits made up 20.2 per cent of the total deposits.
It also highlighted that the growth varied by region. Bank branches in metropolitan areas saw the highest deposit growth at 11.7 per cent in March 2025. Rural areas recorded 10.1 per cent growth, semi-urban areas 8.9 per cent, and urban centres 9.3 per cent.
The RBI data suggests that while overall deposit growth remains healthy, there is a shift in deposit composition, with term deposits gaining more popularity due to higher returns. (ANI)

Looking ahead, orders worth ₹2.35 trillion are expected in FY26–27, which is nearly 3.1 times the combined order book of the three listed PSU shipyards. Despite a rising topline, the order books of Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders (MDL), Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), and Cochin Shipyard (CSL) have remained largely stagnant since FY19. Their combined revenue has grown from ₹8,900 crore in FY19 to ₹12,400 crore in 9MFY25 (not annualised), but execution challenges persist due to the lumpy nature of warship orders and long lead times. Ebitda margins remain volatile, driven by the complexity and evolving nature of vessel designs, with clearer cost and margin visibility only emerging at later stages of the projects. Nevertheless, there is strong order visibility for at least ₹2.12 trillion during FY26–27. This pipeline includes six P75I submarines, three Kalvari-class submarines, next-generation Corvettes, P-17B Frigates, and various smaller vessels. Additionally, a third aircraft carrier could also be part of the upcoming orders.

However, limited savings, lack of personalised financial planning, and inadequate discipline are key obstacles, according to a survey conducted by Marcellus Investment Managers and Dun & Bradstreet. The survey, which covered over 465 HNI households across 28 cities, revealed that 43 per cent of respondents save less than 20 per cent of their post-tax income.

Despite this, a major portion of their investments remains concentrated in real estate, indicating a skewed asset allocation.

However, rising R&D costs, concerns around future US sales, and stretched valuations have led brokerages to lower their estimates and maintain a cautious outlook on the stock. Currently trading at ₹933, the stock has gained 5 per cent over the past month. Still, analysts see limited upside in the near term due to emerging headwinds.
