NBFCs Project 20% Growth in Education-Loan Assets Amid Shifts in Study Destinations
Non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) in India are expected to see a 20% growth in education-loan assets under management this fiscal year, driven by diversification in study destinations despite reduced demand for US education due to policy uncertainties. Asset quality remains stable, though a significant portion of loans is still under moratorium. US-linked loan disbursements declined sharply, while those for the UK and other countries increased. NBFCs have also expanded in housing, vehicle, and consumer durable loans, outpacing banks in some segments.
