Industry Overview
The sector has been plagued with worsening asset quality, which has reached 17.5% in fiscal 2019 as compared to 7.2% in fiscal 2015. This has led to the gradual reduction of the share of industry credit in the overall banking sector. CRISIL Research expects the growth to stay low in this sector on account of the cautious approach taken by lenders.
