88 As per the Provisional Estimate of the National Statistical Office (NSO), India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2020-21 at with to contracted at -7.3 per cent. Real GDP at Constant Prices (2011-12) in the year FY21 is estimated at Rs 135.13 lakh crore, as against Rs 145.69 lakh crore in 2019-20. GDP at Current Prices in FY21 is estimated at Rs 197.46 lakh crore, as against Rs 203.51 lakh crore in 2019-20. The Indian economy entered a technical recession in the first half of FY21 with GDP plunging by 24.4 per cent in Q1 FY21, 7.4 per cent in Q2 FY21. This sharp fall can be attributed to the nation-wide lockdown announced by the government during April-May 2020 to mitigate the outbreak of coronavirus, which brought economic activity to a halt in the first quarter, severely impacting the growth of industrial and services sector activities. Industry and services sector is estimated to register a contraction of -7.0 per cent & -8.4 per cent, respectively, in 2020- 21. The agricultural sector remains a bright spot, supported by a normal monsoon, robust kharif sowing and adequate reservoir levels. Agriculture sector is estimated to see a growth of 3.6 per cent in 2020-21.{{footnote}}https://www.unionbankofindia.co.in/pdf/ANNUAL%20REPORT_UNION%20BANK%202020-2021.pdf{{/footnote}}

91 Yield movements remained volatile in the FY 2020- 21. The hardening of yields at the beginning of Q1:2020-21 was mitigated by liquidity augmenting measures announced by RBI in the second half of April and May. With the announcement of an enhancement of Central Government market borrowings by about 54 per cent – from Rs.7.8 lakh crore to Rs.12.0 lakh crore – for 2020-21, however, the benchmark yield rose by 20 bps on May 11, 2020. In June, several factors viz., low demand for dated securities; border tensions; rating downgrade by Fitch Ratings; and supply fatigue from increased issuances of T-bills and state development loans (SDL) kept yields firm. Subsequently, however, softening US treasury yields, fall in crude oil futures, and the announcement of special open market operations (OMOs) or “Operation Twist”, by RBI eased pressure on yields by end-June. The Reserve Bank conducted five operation twist auctions during July-September and backed them up with an increase in the limit of SLR securities kept under the held to maturity (HTM) category by 2.5 per cent of NDTL – from 19.5 per cent to 22 per cent. Overall, the 10-year benchmark yield softened by 15 bps in Q1:2020-21. In Q2:2020-21, yields exhibited a hardening bias on a rise in fuel prices and higher inflation prints for June and July. Overall, the 10-year yield (5.79 per cent GS 2030) hardened by 12 bps in Q2, mainly reflecting a 24 bps rise in August. During Q3:2020-21, the yield softened by 15 bps from 6.04 per cent to 5.89 per cent. During Q4, yields remained range bound with an upward bias till the presentation of the Union Budget 2021- 22 on February 1, 2021. Average G-sec yield for the FY 2020-21 was at 5.99%. Corporate bond yields too eased, tracking the movement in G-sec yields. Furthermore, the spread on corporate bonds over corresponding G-secs moderated across issuer categories and ratings spectrum.

94 == RBI’s policy decisions ==
95
96 1 During FY 2020-21, the RBI has reduced the key policy rate by 40 bps on 22nd May 2020 and kept the policy repo rate unchanged during the rest of the financial year. Accordingly, the repo rate and reverse repo rate stands at a near two decadal low at 4.00 percent and 3.35 percent, respectively. The MSF rate and the Bank Rate was reduced to 4.25 per cent from 4.65 per cent, respectively. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decided to continue with the accommodative stance as long as it is necessary to revive growth and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, while ensuring that inflation remains within the target going forward.
97
98
99 The RBI undertook several conventional and unconventional measures in the wake of COVID-19. Other than conventional measures of policy rate reduction, the RBI introduced long term repo operations (LTROs) and targeted long-term repo operations (TLTROs) to augment system as well as sector-specific liquidity to meet sectoral credit needs and alleviate stress. Special refinance facilities were provided to select all India financial institutions (AIFIs), while a special liquidity facility for mutual funds (SLF-MF) was introduced to ease redemption pressures. The focus was to foster congenial financing conditions without jeopardising financial stability. Further, forward guidance gained prominence in the RBI’s communication strategy to realise cooperative outcomes. The RBI ensured to support the recovery process through the provision of ample liquidity in the system, while maintaining financial stability.

The slowdown in Scheduled Commercial Banks’ (SCBs’) credit growth during 2020-21 has been broad-based across all major sectors, except agriculture. Credit growth to industry decelerated marginally to 0.4% (0.7% a year ago) mainly due to credit to large industries, which contracted by 0.8% in March 2021 (as compared with a growth of 0.6% a year ago). This is primarily on account of large industries obtaining financial resources from nonbank sources, while credit to medium industries registered a robust growth of 28.8% in March 2021 (as compared to contraction of 0.7% a year ago). Slowdown in growth of personal loans continued, as it decelerated to 10.2 per cent in March 2021 from 15.0 per cent a year ago.
