Share of industrial loans in bank credit on decline, personal loans up: RBI

The share of industrial loans in total credit has been gradually declining over the last decade while that of personal loans is on the rise, the Reserve Bank said on Wednesday. Both industrial and personal loans had nearly 27 per cent credit share each in March 2022, as per the 'Basic Statistical Return on Credit by Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) in India March 2022' released by the RBI. Meanwhile, loans to the industrial sector recorded 4.7 per cent growth in 2021-22 after witnessing a decline in the previous year. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman nudged the corporate sector to increase investment in the manufacturing sector.

Adani Group says not overleaveraged, loans from public sector banks halved

Richest Indian Gautam Adani's conglomerate has cited an improved net debt to operating profit ratio and more than halving of loans from public sector banks to allay concerns about it being overleveraged. In a 15-page note in response to CreditSights report calling the group overleveraged, it said companies in the group have consistently de-levered, with the net debt to Ebitda ratio declining to 3.2 times from 7.6 times in the last nine years. "The businesses operate on a simple yet robust and repeatable business model focused on development and origination, operations and management and capital management plan," the note, reviewed by PTI, said. The group had a gross debt of Rs 1.88 lakh crore in March 2022 and net debt of Rs 1.61 lakh crore after considering the cash balance. While loans from public sector banks in 2015-16 accounted for 55 per cent of all debt of the group firms, in 2021-22, borrowing from PSBs made up for 21 per cent of all debt, it said.

Canara Bank to raise benchmark lending rate by up to 0.15% from Wednesday

Canara Bank on Tuesday said it has hiked the benchmark MCLR by up to 0.15 per cent, a move that will make loans costlier.

Bank union opposes public sector banks' 'loan melas' on NPA pile-up fears

The Maharashtra State Bank Employees Federation (MSBEF) on Monday opposed 'loan melas' organised by state-owned banks, saying that credit granted without much diligence at such events lead to pile-up of non-performing assets. Such 'melas' add to the retail Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) for the lenders as the loans are granted without much diligence, MSBEF said in a statement. The statement comes on a day when Union minister of state for finance Bhagwat Karad is attending one such mela in Maharashtra's Aurangabad, where public sector lenders are targeting to distribute Rs 2,900 crore of loans. Stating that past experience suggests borrowers stop repayments for such loans, the MSBEF said, no political party helps in the loan recovery process. "The same political parties demand for waiver of those loans so as to appease voters" during elections, it said, adding that such events vitiate the recovery atmosphere. Public sector banks are put into crisis through NPAs, and the same is used
