Credit to agriculture and allied activities registered a y-o-y growth of 6.8 per cent from 17.4 per cent a year ago.

The central bank further said advances to the services sector moderated to 9.6 per cent y-o-y (15.1 per cent in the corresponding fortnight of the previous year), primarily due to decelerated growth in credit to NBFCs.

Credit growth to the 'computer software' and 'professional services' segment remained robust.

The central bank also said that credit to the personal loans segment registered a decelerated y-o-y growth of 14.7 per cent compared to 16.6 per cent a year ago, largely due to a moderation in growth of ‘other personal loans', ‘vehicle loans' and ‘credit card outstanding'.
