[^1]\n\nGold loans against jewelry accounted for 13.6% of all new non-food credit in the Indian banking system during the fortnight ended July 31, 2026. [^2]\n\nGold loans drew an incremental credit of Rs 90,888 crore during the first four months of fiscal year 2026 (April-July).

[^5]\n\nThe figures are based on sectoral deployment of bank credit data collected from 41 select scheduled commercial banks, which account for about 95% of total non-food credit extended by all scheduled commercial banks.
