Mixed
NBFC
Better credit growth can help lending activity, but higher borrowing costs and deposit competition may also pressure margins.
What happened
SBI has set a target of 14-15 pc credit growth. The same update says the government may revisit LTCG tax amid FPI outflows, while the bank also noted concerns over rising borrowing costs and competition for deposits.
Why it matters
Faster credit growth can support banks, borrowers and broader economic activity. A possible review of LTCG tax may affect equity-market sentiment and foreign portfolio behaviour, which can influence Indian market flows.
Global impact
This is mainly an India-specific market and policy signal rather than a global event. The wider impact would come through foreign investor sentiment and how overseas flows react to the tax discussion.
