Large companies are increasingly turning to banks for financing as private-sector capex accelerates. Bank credit to corporates surged 14.4% YoY to ₹31.10 lakh crore by May 31, 2026, up from just 1.5% growth a year prior. This shift is driven by fresh investments in sectors like power, steel, and renewable energy. 📈
Bankers expect this momentum to continue, with demand rising for both greenfield and brownfield projects, particularly in data centres and battery storage.
