India's household debt rose to 23.9% of GDP in FY25, driven by increased retail loans, while net financial savings declined to 5.2% of GDP. Despite concerns over over-leverage and household stress, the current debt level is deemed manageable, with expectations for continued growth in household debt outpacing nominal GDP growth. The rise in leverage reflects structural shifts towards financialisation and digitisation, with medium-term real GDP growth projected at 6.5%.
