The nationwide lockdown was imposed in India on the 22nd of March. The effects of this complete lockdown will feel in the Indian Economy for some months even after the relaxation. The COVID-19 Pandemic and the lockdown that followed have paralyzed businesses and resulted in large-scale unemployment. Unemployment spiked to 23% in April says the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy. This has impacted the Indian loan market. This will, in turn, affect the repayment ability of the borrowers and the demand for fresh loans. Let’s understand Covid 19 effects on the Indian Loan Market.
Banks will face one of the toughest years in terms of loan growth. Retail loans may take a longer time to bounce back due to the uncertainties around employment and pressure on wages. Many companies have announced pay cuts while some have announced layoffs to bring down costs. Indian banks introduced 5 emergency loans during this global pandemic.
The loans are for their corporate clients, MSMEs, SHGs, Retail borrowers & Pensioners.
