India's Gold Loan Market Quadruples Amid Rising Competition from New NBFC Entrants
India's gold loan market has nearly quadrupled to ₹18.6 trillion over five years, surpassing personal loans and becoming the second-largest retail asset class. Despite this growth, only about 8% of household gold is monetised through organised lenders. The market is projected to grow at a 28% CAGR, exceeding ₹30 trillion by 2028. New corporate-backed NBFC entrants like Tata Capital and Aditya Birla Capital are intensifying competition with established players, potentially affecting pricing and yields in the sector.
