NBFCs Lead Retail Loan Growth in June, Outpacing Banks
In June, non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) surpassed banks in retail loan growth, with a year-on-year increase of over 20% compared to banks' 16%. This growth was driven by strong demand for loans against jewellery and consumer durables, sectors where banks have become cautious. Overall, NBFCs' non-food credit grew 18% year-on-year, outpacing banks' 14%. Analysts note NBFCs' focus on retail lending and relatively lower credit risk, while banks remain cautious in unsecured and low-ticket lending segments.
