NBFC growth may take a hit as banks show funding reluctance

According to the latest Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data, the yearon-year (Y-o-Y) growth in bank credit to NBFCs dropped to 8.5 per cent in June compared to 16 per cent in May.

Additionally, data showed that incremental lending by banks to NBFCs fell to just ₹7,420 crore in the April-June quarter of FY25 (Q1FY25). It is essentially due to banks running down their portfolios concerning stateowned finance companies.

In Q1 FY24, incremental bank lending to NBFCs was ₹92,223 crore and in FY24 it stood at ₹2.06 trillion.

In November last year, the RBI increased risk weights of banks lending to NBFCs, resulting ina slowdown in flow of credit to the sector.

According to the RBI data, as on September 30, 2023, 37.8 per cent of the NBFC borrowing was from banks.

The NBFC sector may see a period of muted assets under management (AUM) growth or low disbursements.

"Given that bank funding constitutes a major portion of NBFC borrowing sources, the industry may experience a moderation in AUM growth in the near term," said Anil Gupta, vice-president, financial ratings at ICRA.

Once dubbed 'political lightweight', Saini shows heft in Haryana

A month before the polls in Haryana, a video surfaced on social media of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Karan Kamboj, visibly upset at being denied a party ticket and refusing to shake Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's hand. Many viewed this as evidence that Saini was a \"political lightweight\" within his own party and that the BJP's central leadership might scapegoat him for what appeared to be an impending defeat in the state.
