The asset quality of the Indian banking system is set to improve further with its gross non-performing assets (NPAs) estimated to decline to 5.6-5.7 per cent by March 2023 from 6.2-6.3 per cent in March 2022, according to .

The  will decline to 1.7-1.8 per cent by end of the current financial year (FY23) as against an estimate of 2 per cent by March 2022.

However, the rating agency added a caveat saying the performance of restructured loan book poses uncertainty to asset quality. The Russia-Ukraine conflict poses macro-economic challenges related to cost inflation, higher interest rates, and exchange rate volatility, which could pressurise asset quality, it added.

The credit and other provisions are estimated to dip to 1.3-1.4 per cent of advances in FY23 as against an estimated 1.7-1.8 per cent in FY22, said Anil Gupta, vice president, .

 expects the outlook for  to be ‘stable’ in FY23, based on continued improvement in earnings driven by improved credit growth of 8.9-10.2 per cent in FY23 (8.3 per cent for FY22 & 5.5 per cent in FY21) and a decline in credit provisions.

Banking credit growth would come from the non-food segment which continues to be driven by retail and MSME segments, and partially by co-lending arrangements with non-banking  companies (NBFCs).

The pace of deposit mobilisation is expected to slow down to 7.3-7.9 per cent in FY2023 (8.3 per cent in FY22e & 11.4 per cent in FY21).

Domestic passenger vehicle retail sales in March declined by 4.87 per cent to 2,71,358 units, as compared to the same month last year, automobile dealers' body FADA said on Tuesday. According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), PV sales stood at 2,85,240 units in March 2021.

"Passenger vehicles continue to see high demand and long waiting periods as semiconductor availability still remains a challenge, even though supplies slightly improved from previous month," FADA President Vinkesh Gulati noted. The Russia-Ukraine war and China lockdown will further dent supplies and will hit vehicle deliveries, he added.

Two-wheeler sales declined by 4.02 per cent to 11,57,681 units last month, as compared to 12,06,191 units in the year-ago period. "The two-wheeler segment was already a non performer due to rural distress. It saw further dampening due to rise in vehicle ownership cost coupled with rising fuel cost," Gulati stated.

Commercial vehicle sales were up 14.91 per cent to 77,938 units, as compared to 67,828 units in March last year. Three-wheeler sales were also up 26.61 per cent to 48,284 units last month, as compared to 38,135 units in March 2021.

Effects of HDFC-HDFC Bank merger go beyond banking: Rajnish Kumar

The finance companies, including housing finance entities, have to rely on wholesale fund-raising from the market or borrowings from banks, both of which are relatively costly

Effects of HDFC-HDFC Bank merger go beyond banking: Rajnish Kumar |  Business Standard News

The effect of the HDFC-HDFC  will be for the bigger space of the Indian financial sector and not just limited to the banking sector. The large  companies have practically no benefit of regulatory arbitrage. Earlier, such arbitrage between  and NBFCs was normal.

The logic of the merger is very clear — the cost of borrowing of  is lower. The  companies, including housing  entities, have to rely on wholesale fund-raising from the market or borrowings from banks, both of which are relatively costly. Above a certain size, it becomes difficult to rely solely on the wholesale funding or bank borrowings.

Gradually, it may so happen that the large finance firms may eventually get converted into . This would be subject to Reserve Bank of India’s comfort and guidelines because shareholding of many big NBFCs is with large corporations.

The market views that there will be good cost savings and efficiency for the merged entity, especially on the infrastructure side, after witnessing the way share prices of HDFC and  behaved today. I do not see any regulatory issues cropping up for the merger. If there were such concerns, they would not have done it.

Another aspect about the consolidation which we have always been talking about is the need for a few large banks. The HDFC- merger may trigger further consolidation in the banking sector as some banks may look for scale. In the public sector banking space, I do not think any further mergers can happen. In the private sector, I do not rule out the possibility of such activity. Maybe we are moving towards consolidation in the private sector for scale.

There is a need for India to have fewer large-size institutions, which can be counted amongst global banks.  is already the largest in terms of market capitalization and after the merger, it may be amongst top five-six banks globally. The merger action augments the ability to take big ticket loans and comes at a time when the capital investment is picking up.

There could be niche players supported by a digital backbone. Universal banks like HDFC operate on scale and even the digital platform requires huge investment now. The technology spend for the banks is going up and you need money.

Petrol and diesel prices have been hiked by 80 paise a litre each this morning, CNBC-TV18 reported, taking the total increase in the last two weeks to Rs 9.20 per litre.

Petrol, diesel prices hiked by 80 paise; total increase now stands at Rs  9.20 per litre

This is the 13th increase in prices in the last 15 days since the end of a four-and-half-month long hiatus in rate revision. Rates have increased across the country and vary from state to state due to local taxation. Here is how petrol and diesel prices are calculated in India. Also, know how much of it is tax.

137-day freeze on petrol and diesel rates ended on March 21

After 137 days of remaining unchanged, fuel prices were increased on March 22 and have been going up ever since. The oil marketing companies (OMCs) started to increase retail fuel prices after four months as international crude oil prices have soared.

The first increase in petrol and diesel prices this year, announced on March 22 was the first hike in 137 days. From November 3, 2021 until March 22, there had been a freeze on fuel prices due to the central government's excise duty cut of Rs 5 a litre on petrol and Rs 10 a litre on diesel and many states also lowering state tax.

Though these measures both by the centre and the state provided relief to customers against the soaring international crude oil prices, it was widely anticipated that there would be a revision in fuel prices after the results for the recent state assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur were out on March 10.

We also spoke to R Venkataraman, chairman of IIFL Securities on how the rising fuel prices could impact the consumer sentiment. Here's an expert of that interaction:

MC: How big is the risk of inflation right now, considering that oil is trading above $100 a barrel?

R Venkat: An RBI (Reserve Bank of India) study says that for every $10 rise in the price of crude, CPI (consumer price index) in India rises by 50 bps. This is assuming prices are fully passed on at the pump level. India is attempting to buy discounted crude from Russia. Crude may not last at $100 through the year.

Finally, pump prices may not be raised to reflect the full increase in crude price. For these reasons, the total impact on CPI should not exceed 60-70 bps.

The Congress member had also sought to now from the government as to what measures were being taken to reverse the trend"The FPI and FIIs obvious obviously going to be very typical of their very nature coming and going out. But, what’s there to look at with fairness and objectivity is the inflow of the FDIs which is remaining unabated,” she said in her reply.

"India is the highest receiver of the FDI since before COVID and that continues very much significantly during COVID and subsequently also,” she said.

"It is that which indicates if the money, which is coming in, is staying invested in this country, thereby creating jobs and prospects for us, not by the FIIs and FPIs," she added.

Manufacturing PMI declines to 54.0 in March from 54.9 in February

The S&P Global India Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) declined to 54.0 in March from 54.9 in February.

A reading above 50 indicates expansion in activity, while a sub-50 print is a sign of contraction.

IHS Markit - the  compiler of the PMI - completed its merger with S&P Global on Febraury 28, leading to the renaming of the PMI for India as well as some other countries.

While a reading greater than 50 suggests the manufacturing sector expanded further in March, a fall from February's levels was because of smaller increases in new orders and production.

"Goods producers indicated that new orders continued to increase in March. The rate of expansion eased to a six-month low, but remained marked," said S&P Global on April 4.
