ICICI Securities Report

In this series of Indian states banking barometer, we deep-dive into the West Bengal market, which commands 4%/6% share in credit/deposits, respectively.

Few distinct characteristics of the state:

  1. Not a credit-led market - state credit to gross domestic product at ~42-43% (versus 53% pan-India level) and sub-5% credit growth over the past five years.
  2. Micro and small and medium enterprise lending dominate with few private banks controlling the space.
  3. More deposit-centric market, reflected in mere 52% credit-deposit ratio (leading private banks have less than 80% and State Bank of India at 34%); public sector banks dominate deposit market, though they are losing market share.
