NBFC Gold Jewellery Loans Surge 69% in June, Leading Lending Growth: RBI Data
Outstanding loans by Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) against gold jewellery rose 69.3% to Rs 3.42 lakh crore by June 2026, marking the fastest growth among lending segments, according to Reserve Bank of India data. Retail credit, including housing and vehicle loans, also expanded robustly. Agriculture credit accelerated sharply, while industrial sector lending slowed due to weaker infrastructure loans. Services sector credit growth moderated as slower trade and transport lending offset gains in commercial real estate.
