The robust economic growth, which the RBI Governor predicts will push India's growth
rate to 7.2 percent in the current financial year, is expected to fuel strong credit
demand and support the NBFC sector's profitability. This growth, coupled with current
regulatory measures, will help mitigate the risk of rising credit costs on profitability.
NBFCs have demonstrated strong financial health, similar to the banking sector. As of
the end of March 2024, the gross non -performing assets (GNPAs) of both scheduled
commercial banks (SCBs) and NBFCs were below 3 per cent of total advances. Provisional
data shows that the GNPA ratio for NBFCs stood at 2.5 per cent at the end of March 2024.
