The NBFC sector, which has been going through a liquidity crisis since the IL&FS default in September 2018, and the resultant risk aversion on part of the debt markets and the banking system, came under further pressure on account of COVID-19. The Government of India and the RBI have responded swiftly, announcing sweeping measures to arrest the economic slowdown by facilitating credit flow to the affected sectors. Specific measures were also announced towards providing liquidity support to HFCs, NBFCs and MFIs.
