• The retail loan market has grown by over 100% in the last two financial years -- from Rs 44,100 crore (USD 10 billion) in 2001-02 to Rs 100,000 crore (USD 22.8 billion) in 2003-04 -- and is expected to touch Rs 134,000 crore (USD 30.6 billion) by March 2005.
• The increase in purchasing power is driving demand across sectors, be it loans, cars, phones or consumer durables. For instance, the average value of housing loans disbursed by India’s largest home finance bank HDFC was around USD 7600 in 2002; it increased to about USD 10,400 in 2004. Similarly, 5.5 million two wheelers were sold per month throughout 2004— compared to less than 1 million a month ten years ago
