flag Indian bank credit costs may drop by late 2026, but high delinquencies persist due to ongoing non-performing loans.

flag Indian bank credit costs are projected to fall in the second half of fiscal 2026, but near-term delinquencies will remain high due to ongoing inflows of non-performing assets, according to a UBS report. flag While portfolio at risk (PAR) 1-90 dropped 30 basis points to 3.8% for banks and 80 basis points to 3.2% for NBFCs, early delinquency trends stayed flat in key states like West Bengal and Maharashtra. flag NBFCs showed stronger improvements, especially in PAR 31-90, which fell 60 basis points. flag A sustained economic slowdown could worsen credit quality, pressure margins, and limit fee income growth, with rising deposit costs likely constraining bank profitability in the near term.
