The private lenders’ share in total credit was 29.6 percent five years ago.

Bank credit growth increased year-on-year further to 18 percent in September 2022, against 14 percent in the last quarter and 5.8 percent in the same period a year ago.

The report attributed the credit growth in FY23 to pent-up demand and an uptick in economic activities as the coronavirus situation improved.

Working capital loans by banks grew 16.5 percent (y-o-y) in September 2022, after contracting in March 202, said the RBI.
