Moody’s on NBFC Retail NPAs for FY26
Why in the news
Moody’s Ratings forecast a modest rise in retail bad loans at Indian NBFCs in FY26, as lending outpaced nominal GDP growth.
Key facts
- Rise: 20-30 basis points, from credit growth and vehicle loans.
- Ceiling: below the pandemic peak of over 5% in FY22; strong macro conditions should keep quality steady.
- GST reforms: may lift vehicle loan demand; risks are weaker collateral values and borrower cash-flow stress.
- RBI in FY24: raised risk weights on unsecured loans and on bank loans to NBFCs.
