India wealth management industry outlook

 
India's financial sector has performed well in fiscal 2025. Despite the slowdown and market correction in the second half, the sector ended the year on a solid ground. Looking ahead, the growth is expected to continue, though at a more measured pace as markets and investors adjust to evolving uncertainties.
 
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), essentially, started injecting liquidity through Open Market Operations (OMO) and let the rupee depreciate. It also announced a string of repo rate cuts. Reduction of risk weight was done towards non-banking finance companies (NBFC) and micro finance companies. Inflation target became more benign.
