India’s banking sector will need to raise an additional USD 4 trillion in capital over the next two decades to support its goal of becoming a developed nation, or “Viksit Bharat,” by 2047. According to a report by HSBC Mutual Fund, India’s financial and banking assets need to grow at a much faster rate than GDP to reach this ambitious target. By 2047, India’s GDP is projected to surge nearly ninefold to USD 30 trillion, requiring significant capital infusion in the banking sector.
