What’s Driving NBFCs in India in 2025?

The buzz around Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) is louder than ever, fueled by Digital Transformation and Regulatory Adaptation.

As India moves towards a $7 trillion economy by 2030, NBFCs are playing a pivotal role—powering MSMEs, affordable housing, and consumer finance.

But the game is evolving fast!

Digital Disruption – AI-powered credit models, UPI-enabled lending, and innovative financial engineering are reshaping access to credit. Are we witnessing a new era of “engineering finance”?

Regulatory Shifts – With RBI tightening norms (higher risk weights, stricter compliance), NBFCs must balance innovation with stability. How will this impact growth?

Competitive Edge – The rise of fintechs, neobanks, and BNPL schemes is intensifying the competition. Where should NBFCs focus to stay ahead?

Market Trends – Credit costs could hit 4% in 2025 (up from 2.6% in 2024), yet mutual funds are increasing stakes in NBFC stocks. Opportunity or challenge—or both?
