. Industry Structure and Developments *
The global economic expansion steadily continued in 2024, althoughgrowth was uneven amidst geopolitical tensions, geo-economicfragmentation, heightened trade tensions and elevated public debt.According to the International Monetary Fund, global growth at 3.3% in2024 (3.5% a year ago) was below the historical average (2000-19) of 3.7%.
Amidst challenging global economic environment, the Indian economyexhibited resilience during 2024-25, supported by robust macroeconomicfundamentals and proactive policy measures. Though the real gross

domestic product growth moderated to 6.5% in 2024-25, India remainedthe fastest growing major economy. Economic activity was supportedby an improvement in consumption demand and net exports on theexpenditure side, and buoyant services sector and recovery in agriculturalproduction on the supply side.
Growth in Gross Value Added (GVA) in the agriculture and allied sectorsin 2024-25 stood at 4.6% as compared with 2.7% a year ago, driven byrecord food grains production aided by adequate reservoir levels andfavorable weather conditions. Growth in industrial sector moderated to4.3% in 2024-25, primarily due to deceleration in manufacturing GVA.The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes helped to steer growthacross several key manufacturing industries. As of November 2024,investment under PLI scheme reached 57% of the aggregate committedtarget under the schemes. The services sector, with a share of 64.1% inGVA, remained the mainstay of aggregate supply with a growth of 7.5%in 2024-25.
As per June 2025 Financial Stability Report of the Reserve Bank ofIndia, the economy is growing at a healthy pace, with the financialsystem meeting the financing needs of all sectors of the real economy.The resilience of the banking system has been pivotal to the strengthof the Indian Financial System. Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs)continued to record improvement in their asset quality, with the GNPAratio and NNPA ratio declining to multi-decadal lows of 2.3% and 0.5%,respectively. The half-yearly slippage ratio, measuring new accretions toNPAs as a share of standard advances at the beginning of the half-year,remained stable at 0.7%. As of March 2025, the capital to risk weightedassets ratio of SCBs increased to a record high of 17.3%. The profitabilityof SCBs remained strong in 2024-25, with profit after tax increasing by16.9% (y-o-y).
On fiscal front, the Central Government continued with its effortstowards fiscal consolidation, supported by buoyant tax revenues, whilemaintaining the thrust on expenditure quality. A modest current accountdeficit and adequate forex reserves provided resilience to the externalsector even as capital flows exhibited volatility.
As per RBI’s Annual Report 2024-25, aggregate credit extended byNBFCs expanded in double digits as at end December 2024 althoughgrowth in unsecured lending moderated. Profitability indicators andNPA ratios continued to improve further during this period, while capitaladequacy ratio remained robust.
In terms of the Financial Stability Report brought out by the ReserveBank of India in June 2025, the credit growth of NBFCs (Upper andMiddle Layers) rose to 20.7% (y-o-y) in March 2025 from 16.0% inSeptember 2024. Considering activity based classification, credit growth
for the second largest category of NBFCs (in terms of outstanding loans),viz., NBFC-IFCs has risen, vis-a-vis March 2024. NBFC-MFI’s portfoliocontracted in H2:2024-25 as lenders exercised prudence in response tothe stress in the portfolio.
Delinquency level in both NBFC-UL and NBFC-ML improved. GNPAratio of Government-owned NBFCs (58.7% share in advances by NBFC-ML) improved to 1.4% while that of privately owned NBFCs of NBFC-ML remained at similar level (5.2%) as in September 2024. The systemlevel CRAR of NBFCs was healthy at 25.8% in March 2025. NBFC-ULwere consistently maintaining an elevated NIM at around 8%, as againstaround 4% by NBFC-ML. Consequently, profitability of NBFC-UL wasmuch higher than that of NBFC-ML in terms of ROA and ROE. On theliquidity front, NBFC-UL were more vulnerable, given that they had ahigher proportion of short-term liabilities to total assets in comparisonwith NBFC-ML. The share of long-term assets in total assets of NBFC-UL stood at 55.0% as against nearly two-thirds for NBFC-ML.
To make India self-sufficient, minimize import dependence, createglobal industrial champions within India and to ‘Make in India for theworld’, the Government of India has launched several Production LinkedIncentive (PLI) schemes. There has also been focus on self-sufficiencyin healthcare for which the Government of India launched Bulk Drugsand Medical Device Parks. At present, IFCI is the Project ManagementAdvisor (PMA) for 10 out of the 14 PLI schemes.
Your Company’s endeavor to become a preferred partner (in the capacityof Project Monitoring / Nodal Agency) for the PLI Schemes and otherschemes of the Government of India has provided not only an additionalrevenue stream but also lot of visibility.
PLI Schemes are the cornerstone of the Government of India’s push forachieving an Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. The objective is to make domesticmanufacturing globally competitive and to create global championsin manufacturing. The strategy behind the PLI schemes is to offercompanies incentives on incremental sales from products manufacturedin India, over the base year. They have been specifically designed toboost domestic manufacturing in sunrise and strategic sectors, curbcheaper imports and reduce import bills, improve cost competitivenessof domestically manufactured goods, and enhance domestic capacity andexports.
As part of Your Company’s strategy to diversify into advisory services,Your Company has continued to bag schemes of the Government ofIndia during FY 2024-25 which included Electric Mobility PromotionScheme-2024 (EMPS), Scheme to Promote Manufacturing of Electric

As per RBI’s June 2025 Financial Stability Report (FSR), the near-termglobal financial stability risks have risen significantly, driven by heightenedgeopolitical tensions and economic and trade policy uncertainties. ShiftingUS trade policies and lack of clarity surrounding its economic policiestriggered a spike in volatility and sharp price declines across a range ofmarkets. Consequently, financial conditions have tightened, and growthprospects have weakened. Though markets have recovered from the early-April lows due to sharp tariff hikes, considerable uncertainty persists aboutthe evolution of trade patterns and economic outlook. Moreover, despite therecent market turmoil, asset valuations in several markets stay high relativeto fundamentals and risks remain concentrated with exposures to a few largetechnology firms. Overall, global financial stability risks remain elevated,as unprecedented trade and policy uncertainties and unpredictability couldpotentially interact with the existing vulnerabilities - rising public debt, highleverage in the non-banking financial intermediaries sector and stretchedasset valuations - to amplify adverse shocks.
Citing escalation in trade tensions and elevated policy uncertainty, theInternational Monetary Fund in its April 2025 World Economic Outlookhas revised global growth projection downwards to 2.8% in 2025 and 3.0%in 2026. Other multilateral agencies have also lowered their global growthforecasts. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), in its Economic Outlook released in June 2025, has revised theglobal GDP growth forecast for 2025 to 2.9%. Similarly, the World Bank,in its June 2025 Global Economic Prospects, projected global GDP growth(using PPP weights) to decelerate from 3.3% in 2024 to 2.9% in 2025. Asper RBI’s Annual Report, 2024-25, the global economy in 2025 is likelyto grow not only below its historical average (2000-19) of 3.7%, but alsobelow the growth of 3.3% in 2024.
The Indian economy is growing at a healthy pace, supported by strongmacroeconomic fundamentals, it remained the fastest growing majoreconomy in the world during 2024-25. The outlook for the Indian economyremains promising in 2025-26, supported by revival in consumptiondemand, government’s continued thrust on capex while adhering to thepath of fiscal consolidation, healthy balance sheets of banks and corporates,easing financial conditions, continuing resilience of the services sectorand strengthening of consumer and business optimism, besides soundmacroeconomic fundamentals.
The prospects for agriculture sector appear favourable in 2025-26 on the backof expected above normal south-west monsoon and several productivity¬enhancing government policies. Manufacturing sector is expected togain further traction in 2025-26 supported by improvement in domesticdemand, higher capacity utilisation, healthy balance sheets of corporatesand banks, and consumer and business optimism. The government’s focuson widening the manufacturing base and the policy support through theongoing PLI scheme and National Manufacturing Mission is expected tofurther strengthen ‘Make in India’ initiative. The construction sector is alsoexpected to continue its robust performance in 2025-26.
Amidst elevated global economic and trade policy uncertainties, theIndian economy continues to display resilience, underpinned by strongmacroeconomic fundamentals and robust financial system. Moreover, asIndia’s growth is largely dependent on domestic demand, the impact ofexternal shocks remained limited. The continued momentum in various highfrequency indicators of services sector, robust agricultural production andabove normal southwest monsoon forecasts, and strong goods and servicestax collections underscore the sustained momentum and resilience of theeconomy. The headwinds from protracted geopolitical tensions, elevateduncertainty and trade disruptions, and weather-related uncertainty posedownside risks to growth. Moreover, deceleration in global growth willact as a drag on domestic output. The near-term and medium-term outlookgives greater confidence of a durable alignment of headline inflation withthe target of 4%.

India’s fiscal position and credibility has enhanced significantly in recentyears on account of ongoing fiscal consolidation, improvement in thequality of expenditure and earmarking of debt-to-GDP as the nominalanchor for the central government’s fiscal policy. The resilience of theexternal sector has been a key contributing factor to India’s macroeconomicand financial stability. Current account deficit at 0.6% of GDP during 2024¬25 remains eminently manageable, supported by sustained buoyancy inservices exports and remittances. In the capital account, high gross foreigndirect investment during 2024-25 indicates that India continues to remainan attractive investment destination. The net capital flows, however, fellshort of CAD during 2024-25, leading to a depletion in foreign exchangereserves. Notwithstanding the uncertainty surrounding the trade outlook,India’s external vulnerability indicators remain robust and continue toshow improvement. Foreign exchange reserves at US$ 697.9 billion, as onJune 20, 2025, are sufficient to cover more than 11 months of merchandiseimports on BoP basis; external debt stood at a moderate 19.1% of GDP atend March 2025; the share of short-term debt on residual maturity basisstood at 45.4% of foreign exchange reserves at end March 2025; and netinternational investment position improved.
Going forward, the easing of supply chain pressures, softening of globalcommodity prices and higher agricultural production on the back of a likelyabove-normal south-west monsoon augur well for the inflation outlookin 2025-26. However, global financial market volatility, geopoliticaltensions, trade fragmentation, supply chain disruptions and climate-induceduncertainties pose downside risks to the growth outlook and upside risks tothe inflation outlook. The Indian economy is poised to sustain its positionas the fastest growing major economy during 2025-26, supported by pickupin private consumption, healthy balance sheets of banks and corporates,easing financial conditions and the government’s continued thrust on capitalexpenditure.
