Auto NBFC Disbursements Rise 20.7% YoY in Q1FY27 Amid Portfolio Diversification
Auto finance NBFCs reported a 20.7% year-on-year increase in Q1FY27 disbursements to Rs 1.04 lakh crore, despite a 4.6% quarter-on-quarter decline due to normalization in commercial vehicle financing after Q4FY26 pre-buying. Sector assets under management grew about 17% YoY, with growth shifting from commercial vehicles to a more diversified portfolio including SME loans, gold loans, and personal loans. Major lenders saw declines in commercial vehicle disbursements, except Sundaram Finance, which posted 11.1% QoQ growth supported by its retail segment.
