Yes, credit growth is not up to the mark, but that is fine; it will get there sooner than later. And we have our reasons for saying so.

We are in a phase of uncertainty in the markets thanks to the Indo-US trade deal hanging fire and Trump’s 25% tariff already in play (with the threat of additional penalties to boot). If you are looking to invest at this juncture, it makes sense to target companies and sectors that are focused on the domestic market and are not impacted by any tariffs. Now, there are many on the street who believe that it is the interest rate cycle which plays an important role in how the bottom lines of banks shape up. Of course, lower interest rates may impact margins of banks for a period of time. But that does not mean that they are going to remain under pressure forever. It is a cyclical thing which happens again and again.

The Q1 earning season has not panned out as expected for a number of sectors. There was simply no major follow-up recovery in many sectors. In the banking sector, however, there is a set of banks that continues to show improvement on a critical parameter: NPAs. This is important because the improvement comes after a long phase of clean-up in the sector. There is another factor worth noting. Banks with higher exposure to the western and southern parts of the country are showing an improvement in numbers. So, there is a case for being bullish about the banking sector. But there is an even bigger case for being selective.
