India's Gold Loan Market to Reach Rs 30 Lakh Crore by 2028 Amid Growth and Repayment Changes
India's gold loan market is projected to grow from Rs 18 lakh crore in March 2026 to Rs 30 lakh crore by March 2028, driven by increased lender appetite and new entrants, including NBFCs and banks. NBFCs are expected to grow faster, raising their market share to 23%. The shift from bullet repayments to monthly installments may raise delinquencies among NBFCs, though credit losses are expected to remain limited due to gold's liquid collateral. Industry consolidation is underway, with major players like Tata Capital and Godrej Capital acquiring established gold loan businesses.
