According to the Care Edge report, the gross non-performing assets (GNPA) ratio hit a six-year low of 5.9 per cent in FY22 but remained above the pre-asset quality review of 2015-16. However, it said, India's NPA ratio is one of the highest among the comparable countries despite gradual decline. Non performing loans eased in advanced economies due to continued deleveraging, and institutional and government intervention, it said.

The country's economy is seeing early signs of sustainable revival amid a volatile global environment, veteran banker Deepak Parekh said on Monday. Addressing the shareholders of HDFC Life at the 22nd Annual General Meeting, he said there is a pick-up in domestic economic activity due to an increase in private consumption.
