India's Debt Dilemma: Credit fueled dreams crushed by debt crisis.
India’s economic growth relies heavily on access to credit, empowering individuals and MSMEs to improve their quality of life and contribute significantly to the GDP and exports. However, this reliance on debt poses risks, with household debt reaching 39% of GDP and rising non-performing assets (NPAs) in both personal and MSME loans. Effective debt management is crucial to prevent a cycle of overspending and financial instability, underscoring the importance of responsible borrowing and financial education.
