THE NBFC FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

NBFCs have come to be regarded as important financial intermediaries particularly for the small-scale and retail sectors with the growing importance assigned to financial inclusion. NBFCs in India numbering 9443 in 2023 are an integral part of the Indian financial system, enhancing competition and diversification in the financial sector, spreading risks specifically at times of financial distress and have been increasingly recognized as complementary of the banking system at competitive prices. NBFCs have been pioneering at retail asset-backed lending, lending against securities, microfinance, etc.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN NBFC SECTOR

It is an established fact that the Indian economy remains one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In consonance, major BFSI indicators, except insurance, grew at a healthy rate. Some of the important positive indicators are:

Absolute profit for the NBFC sector increased 39% YOY in FY23 driven by Diversified (68%) and MFI (220%) NBFCs.

The profit was driven by reduction in credit costs (38bps YoY) and higher NIM (37bps YoY). The reduction in credit cost is worth noting, despite RBI hiking Repo Rate six times in the FY23, aggregating 250 bps to 6.5%.

NBFCs recorded higher credit growth (17%).

Asset quality of NBFCs is reaching pre-pandemic levels even as they are witnessing a huge jump in credit demand.

Asset quality improved for all NBFC segments except Gold loan NBFCs in FY23.

Despite few NBFCs opting to cut capital buffer, NBFC sector remains well capitalized to withstand shocks.

NBFCs diversifying funding resources, product portfolio (sectors) and service models Issuance of NCDs by NBFCs almost doubled in FY23 and surpassed the FY20 levels Addition of newer products to drive growth Breaking traditional grid-locks with aid from FinTechs.

Post the pandemic, an accelerated shift is witnessed in Digital adoption by NBFCs.

OPPORTUNITIES

In general, NBFCs have big opportunities in lending last mile, where the banks cannot reach. Such sectors could be retails, infrastructure, affordable housing, renewable energy, small business loans, vehicle loans, etc. These sectors offer robust growth with high margin. The sector is expected to grow more than 14%. So, the expected credit growth is a significant opportunity for NBFCs. The growth in demand for credit is driven by the increase in consumer spending, the rise of e-commerce, and the expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises. NBFCs can leverage this opportunity by expanding their offerings and catering to the diverse needs of their customers. Another opportunity for NBFCs is the growth of digital payments and the adoption of digital technologies in the financial sector. The rise of digital payments has led to a surge in the number of digital transactions, which has created a vast amount of data. NBFCs can leverage this data to offer personalized financial products and services to their customers. The use of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can help NBFCs to automate their processes, reduce costs, and enhance customer experience.
