○India's bad-debt mountain hangs over politically recharged Narendra Modi

【New Delhi】With a resounding domestic political victory behind him, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns attention back to policies this week.
　One area key to watch for investors: progress on resolving a mountain of bad debt that’s restraining the private economy.
　Modi, who swept to power in federal elections in 2014 and this weekend notched a decisive win in India’s largest state, has championed reforms for businesses yet overseen an expansion that’s been propelled by the public sector. Key to that shortfall has been a decline in credit exacerbated by the lack of a national plan to clean out non-performing loans.
　"Loan growth has been falling and remains anemic by historical standards as a result of the banks’ asset-quality challenges," said Swee-Ching Lim, a portfolio manager at Western Asset Management in Singapore who’s been analyzing credit markets for almost two decades. "This lack of credit growth will likely continue to be a headwind for India’s economy," he said.
