Gross NPAs jump to 11.2% or Rs 10.39 tln in FY18: RBI Report

Mumbai, Dec 28 (PTI) System-wide gross non-performing assets of banks rose to 11.2 percent or at Rs 10.39 trillion in FY18 from 9.3 percent a year ago, and the share of public sector banks stood at Rs 8.95 trillion, or at 14.6 percent, according to the Reserve Bank data released Friday.

In FY17, system-wide gross NPAs stood at 9.3 percent and that of state-run lenders stood at 11.7 per cent.

"During FY18, the GNPA ratio reached 14.6 percent for state-run banks due to restructured advances slipping into NPAs and better NPA recognition," RBI said in its report on 'Trends & Progress of Banking in 2017-18'.

In terms of the net NPA ratio, state-run banks saw significant deterioration at 8 percent in FY18 from 6.9 percent year-ago.

Private sector peers banks' GNPA ratio stood at a much lower level of 4.7 percent as against 4.1 percent in FY17.
