The RBI data says that loans for companies and individuals have been growing at an increasing rate of 5.5%-6% in recent past months, which is half the speed that was observed before the pandemic struck.

The nation’s biggest lender, SBI wishes to double their credit growth up to 10% in the year started by April 1, however, they are willing to give up on this goal.
