Who carries the risk

Public-sector banks are holding the bag

Distressed-asset risk isn't spread evenly across the financial system. One class of lender is doing almost all the visible liquidating.

Where the risk is concentrated

The distress map of India

Each state is shaded by how much distressed value sits there — a heat map of where the country's bad loans are turning into auctions.

    How concentrated is the risk

    A textbook case of concentration

    Credit-risk desks measure concentration with the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) — the sum of squared market shares. Below ~1,500 is competitive; above 2,500 is "highly concentrated" and a systemic-risk flag.

    Concentration, lender by lender

    Every bank's share of the risk

    Each lender's live exposure, its share of the market, and its contribution to the HHI (share², in points — these sum to the lender index). Tap a column to sort.

    The 80 / 20 of distress

    A handful of trophy assets hold most of the money

    Reserve values are wildly skewed: most listings are modest homes and shops, while a few enormous industrial and commercial lots dominate the rupees.

    Who's offloading

    One lender towers over the rest

    Public-sector banks are clearing their books through auctions — but the volume is far from evenly spread.

    What's actually on the block

    Mostly homes — but the money is industrial

    Residential property dominates the count, yet the average industrial or commercial lot is worth several times the average home.

    The affordability ladder

    Bank auctions aren't just for the rich

    Contrary to the reputation, most auctioned assets are within reach of ordinary buyers.

    The auction wave

    When the gavel falls

    Bidding windows are clustered — a lot of these assets go under the hammer within weeks, not months.
