Private banks' faster credit deployment and potentially greater operational agility indicate increasing customer preference for them. The overall banking system has expanded significantly between 2020 and 2025, with total loans rising from Rs 105.18 lakh crore to Rs 187.76 lakh crore—more than 78% increase in just 5 years. Smaller players like small finance banks are also expanding their role, indicating a shift toward broader credit access and inclusion.

Police nab four men for selling IPL tickets illegally
Ahmedabad: City police on Tuesday arrested four men in two separate cases allegedly for selling IPL 2025 final match tickets illegally. The arrests were made by the crime branch and Gujarat University (GU) police during routine patrols. In the first incident, crime branch constable Vishwaraj Singh reported that around 10.50pm on Tuesday, police received information about a man selling IPL final tickets at inflated prices near Gate No. 1 of Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera. Acting on the tip-off, police detained a suspect matching the description — a man wearing a muddy-coloured T-shirt and grey pants. The individual was identified as Shubhankar Nilesh Shilkar, 22, a resident of Usgao village in Ponda, Goa. Upon searching him, police recovered three tickets for the match, each with a printed price of Rs 1,500. "Shilkar admitted that he purchased the tickets online and was attempting to sell them for Rs 5,000 each. A case of illegal selling of tickets was registered against him, and the tickets were seized. In the second case, Gujarat University police received a tip-off around 9pm on Tuesday about three youths selling match tickets illegally near the LD Engineering BRTS bus stop. Cops reached the spot and detained three individuals: Adityasinh Chauhan (19), Tushar Chauhan (18), and Sahil Shah (19), all students residing in different areas of the city. A search of the suspects revealed that Sahil Shah was carrying six IPL final tickets, each priced at Rs 1,500. According to cops, the group admitted that they booked the tickets online and intended to sell them for Rs 5,000 each, sharing any profit equally. Like in the earlier case, they were unable to provide any legal authorisation for resale. Gujarat University police registered an FIR under the same charges and seized the tickets.

Indian banks' asset quality to stay stable amid global risks: Moody's
Global rating agency Moody's today said the Indian banking sector will be able to broadly preserve asset quality despite trade tensions posing risks for the global economy. Domestic economic conditions remain supportive of growth, and the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio is expected to stay at the 2–3 per cent level over the next 12 months, the agency said. The NPL of the Indian banking system stood at 2.5 per cent at the end of December 2024. Moody's, in a statement, said the government's capital expenditure, tax cuts for middle-income groups to boost consumption, and monetary easing will underpin the Indian economy. Also, a low level of dependency on goods trade will shield it from external risks to an extent. This will help banks preserve their asset quality. While overall asset quality performance would remain stable, there will be divergence in loan performance across different product types and lenders. Wholesale loans will continue to perform well as companies maintain good profitability and low levels of leverage, it added. Wholesale loans are a key part of Indian banks' loan books, along with retail and agriculture loans. The quality of unsecured retail loans will remain weaker than that of secured ones for at least the next few quarters. New NPL formation rates for secured retail loans have broadly stayed low, while those for unsecured loans have risen in recent quarters. As this trend persists, small private sector banks will continue to have weaker asset quality than large private banks and public sector banks, it added. The Reserve Bank of India's (RBI 's) macroprudential measures have prevented excessive loan growth in the banking system. It raised risk weights for unsecured retail loans and exposures to non-bank finance companies (NBFCs) by 25 percentage points in November 2023. Growth in these two types of loans has slowed markedly because of the central bank's measures. While the RBI lowered risk weights for loans to NBFCs effective April 2025, we expect growth in bank lending to the sector to be in line with overall credit expansion, it added.
