The stock of external debt at end-June 2021 as well as revised data for earlier quarters are set out in Statements I (old format) and II (IMF format)1. The major developments relating to India’s external debt as at end-June 2021 are presented below.

Highlights

  • At end-June 2021, India’s external debt was placed at US$ 571.3 billion, recording an increase of US$ 1.6 billion over its level at end-March 2021 (Table 1).

  • The external debt to GDP ratio declined to 20.2 per cent at end-June 2021 from 21.1 per cent at end-March 2021.

  • Valuation gain due to the appreciation of the US dollar vis-à-vis Indian rupee was placed at US$ 1.7 billion. Excluding the valuation effect, external debt would have increased by US$ 3.3 billion instead of US$ 1.6 billion at end-June 2021 over end-March 2021.

  • Commercial borrowings remained the largest component of external debt, with a share of 37.4 per cent, followed by non-resident deposits (24.8 per cent) and short-term trade credit (17.4 per cent).

  • At end-June 2021, long-term debt (with original maturity of above one year) was placed at US$ 468.8 billion, recording an increase of US$ 0.2 billion over its level at end-March 2021.

  • The share of short-term debt (with original maturity of up to one year) in total external debt increased marginally to 17.9 per cent at end-June 2021 from 17.7 per cent at end-March 2021; however, the ratio of short-term debt (original maturity) to foreign exchange reserves declined to 16.8 per cent at end-June 2021 (17.5 per cent at end-March 2021).

  • Short-term debt on residual maturity basis (i.e., debt obligations that include long-term debt by original maturity falling due over the next twelve months and short-term debt by original maturity) constituted 44.7 per cent of total external debt at end-June 2021 (44.6 per cent at end-March 2021) and stood at 41.8 per cent of foreign exchange reserves (44.1 per cent at end-March 2021) (Table 2).

  • US dollar denominated debt remained the largest component of India’s external debt, with a share of 52.4 per cent at end-June 2021, followed by debt denominated in the Indian rupee (33.2 per cent), yen (5.8 per cent), SDR2 (4.4 per cent) and the euro (3.4 per cent).

  • The borrower-wise classification shows that the outstanding government debt decreased, while non-government debt increased at end-June 2021 (Table 3).

  • The share of outstanding debt of non-financial corporations in total external debt was the highest at 40.6 per cent, followed by deposit-taking corporations (except the central bank) (28.1 per cent), general government (18.7 per cent) and other financial corporations (8.1 per cent).

  • The instrument-wise classification shows that the loans were the largest component of external debt, with a share of 34.7 per cent, followed by currency and deposits (25.0 per cent), trade credit and advances (17.9 per cent) and debt securities (16.9 per cent) (Table 4).

  • Debt service (i.e., principal repayments and interest payments) declined to 4.1 per cent of current receipts at end-June 2021 as compared with 8.2 per cent at end-March 2021, reflecting lower repayments and higher current receipts (Table 5).

Data on sectoral deployment of bank credit collected from select 33 scheduled commercial banks, accounting for about 90 per cent of the total non-food credit deployed by all scheduled commercial banks, for the month of August 2021, are set out in Statements I and II.

On a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, non-food bank credit1 growth stood at 6.7 per cent in August 2021 as compared to 5.5 per cent in August 2020.

Highlights of the sectoral deployment of bank credit are given below:

  • Credit to agriculture and allied activities continued to perform well, registering an accelerated growth of 11.3 per cent in August 2021 as compared to 4.8 per cent in August 2020.

  • Credit growth to industry picked up to 2.3 per cent in August 2021 from 0.4 per cent in August 2020. Size-wise, credit to medium industries registered a robust growth of 63.4 per cent in August 2021 as compared to 4.4 per cent last year. Credit to micro and small industries accelerated to 10.1 per cent in August 2021 from a contraction of 1.1 per cent a year ago, while credit to large industries contracted by 1.7 per cent in August 2021 as compared to a growth of 0.5 per cent a year ago.

  • Within industry, credit growth to ‘all engineering’, ‘chemical & chemical products’, ‘gems & jewellery’, ‘infrastructure’, ‘mining & quarrying’, ‘paper & paper products’, ‘petroleum coal products & nuclear fuels’, ‘rubber, plastic & their products’ and ‘textiles’ accelerated in August 2021 as compared to the corresponding month of the previous year. However, credit growth to ‘beverage & tobacco’, ‘basic metal & metal products’, ‘cement & cement products’, ‘construction’, ‘food processing’, ‘glass & glassware’, ‘leather & leather products’, ‘vehicles, vehicles parts & transport equipment’ and ‘wood & wood products’ decelerated/contracted.

  • Credit growth to the services sector moderated to 3.5 per cent in August 2021 from 10.9 per cent in August 2020, mainly due to contraction in credit growth to NBFCs and commercial real estate.

  • Personal loans registered an accelerated growth of 12.1 per cent in August 2021 as compared to 8.5 per cent a year ago, primarily due to faster credit growth in housing, vehicle loans and loans against gold jewellery.

Today, the Reserve Bank released its web publication entitled ‘Quarterly Basic Statistical Returns (BSR)-1: Outstanding Credit of Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs), June 2021’ on its Database on Indian Economy (DBIE) portal (web-link: https://dbie.rbi.org.in/DBIE/dbie.rbi?site=publications#!12). It captures various characteristics of bank credit such as occupation/activity and organisational sector of the borrower, type of account and interest rates. Data reported by 88 SCBs (excluding Regional Rural Banks) are presented for bank groups, population groups and states1.

Highlights:

  • Bank credit growth (y-o-y) edged up to 5.8 per cent in June 2021 from 5.1 per cent a quarter ago.

  • Personal loans growth accelerated to 14.8 per cent on y-o-y basis after some moderation since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic; its share in bank credit increased to 26.6 per cent in June 2021 (24.5 per cent a year ago and 18.9 per cent five years ago).

  • Bank credit to the industrial sector continued to decline, resulted in further lowering of its share in total credit to 28.6 per cent (30.8 per cent a year ago and 40.7 per cent five years ago).

  • Credit to individuals in the household sector2 continued to rise and their share in total loans increased to 43.3 per cent from 34.2 per cent five years ago; female borrowers had nearly 22 per cent share in the amount of credit to individuals.

  • Working capital loans (viz., cash credit, overdraft and demand loans) accounted for a third of total credit and followed the seasonal contraction in first quarter of financial year; their annual growth (y-o-y), nevertheless, turned positive in the latest quarter.

  • Bank branches in urban, semi-urban and rural centres maintained double digit credit growth (y-o-y) in June 2021 but credit extended by metropolitan branches, which accounted for nearly 63 per cent of total credit, recorded low growth of 2.7 per cent.

  • With their faster credit growth, private sector banks have increased their share in total credit to 36.6 per cent from 25.7 per cent five years ago, at the cost of public sector banks whose share declined from 69.0 per cent to 58.1 per cent over the same period.

  • Weighted average lending rate (WALR) on outstanding credit stood at 9.25 per cent in June 2021, which reflected a moderation of 7 basis points (bps) during the latest quarter and 72 bps over the last one year.

Today on September 30, Indian gold rates dropped significantly by Rs. 610/10 grams gold. The Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA) failed to keep gold prices up ahead of the festive season in India, as the rates in the international markets are falling. The 22 carat gold is quoted at Rs. 44,490 / 10 grams, while the 24 carat gold is quoted at Rs. 45,490 / 10 grams today. The international gold prices are also struggling hard to even maintain the $1725 level, which is a poor rate for this year. Ahead of the festive season in India, if you are planning to buy gold for marriage or any other auspicious purpose, it is certainly a good time.

Gold Rates At 3 Months Low, Drops By Rs. 610 On Sept 30, Good Time To Buy

The Comex gold future hiked by 0.08% at $1724, while the spot gold market dropped by 0.12% at $1725/oz today till 4.38 PM IST. On the other hand, the US dollar index in the spot market gained by 0.15% same time today, as the US treasury yield is rising now. In India, the Mumbai MCX gold in October future fell by 0.08% at Rs. 45,733/10 grams till today 4.39 PM IST. Indian gold prices now are on the path of falling which is expected to worsen in the future. This year and the upcoming year, both are going to be a tough time for gold rates globally.

Indian gold rates started to fall largely since August, but even in that month, the lowest rate did not slip below Rs. The lowest rate for 22 carat gold was Rs. 45,280 on August 9, and for 24 carat gold, it was Rs. 46,280 on the same date. Overall performance in the last month of 22 carat gold was a fall by 2.11%. This month the data has been worse.

Gold rates in different Indian cities are quoted differently, daily. Today’s gold rates in major Indian cities follow:

City 22 carat (INR/10 Grams) 24 carat (INR/10 Grams)
Mumbai 44,490/- 45,490/-
Delhi 45,200/- 49,310/-
Bangalore 43,050/- 46,960/-
Hyderabad 43,050/- 46,960/-
Chennai 43,360/- 47,300/-
Kerala 43,050/- 46,960/-
Kolkata 45,550/- 48,250/-

A Kitco report mentioned today, “Starting off in the UK, quarter on quarter GDP rose 5.5% vs economist expectations of 4.8% and a previous reading of -1.6%. Later in the session, the market will get the latest US GDP data which is expected to hit 6.6%, and more comments from Fed Chair Powell.” Already the market is expecting US Fed tapering from December and thus the gold rates are being impacted negatively globally, reflecting the same trend in India.
