flag Indian public sector banks expect strong retail, agriculture, and MSME loan growth despite weak corporate lending, with stable asset quality and moderate NIM decline.

flag Indian public sector banks are projected to see strong loan growth driven by retail, agriculture, and MSME lending, despite weak corporate loan demand due to capital market disintermediation. flag Banks like SBI, BoB, and Canara are expected to report growth between 2.5% and 4%, with Union Bank lagging. flag Net interest margins may decline moderately, while asset quality remains stable with no major slippages. flag SBI and BoB are likely to maintain RoA above 1%, supported by core income, and PNB may see improvement due to lower taxes. flag The PSU Bank Index has outperformed private banks by nearly 15% over six months. flag PSB net interest income growth was flat to negative in Q1 FY26, while most private banks saw low single-digit gains, except HDFC and ICICI.
