Increase in Multiple Vehicle Loans and Larger Borrowings Raises Lender Risks
Vehicle buyers are increasingly taking multiple loans, with average loan amounts rising, especially in commercial vehicle finance, which grew at a 20% compound annual rate to ₹7.4 lakh crore by June. The share of commercial vehicle borrowers with two or more loans rose from 15.7% to 19.9%, raising concentration risks. Experts emphasize the need for careful credit history checks and monitoring to manage potential default spillovers, as many borrowers also hold high-value housing and unsecured loans.
