Indian banks report loan growth outpacing deposits in Q2
In short
Several Indian banks said in the second quarter that loans grew faster than deposits. Canara Bank reported credit growth of 19.4% and deposit growth of 13.1%, while Indian Bank reported 16.6% credit growth and 12.4% deposit growth.
This matters because banks need deposits to fund lending. The report says South Indian Bank was an exception, but it does not give details.
