INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

Indias capital markets have performed well, allowing for unprecedented risk capital mobilization by Indian enterprises.

Despite brief geopolitical disturbances in the global economy, Indias future appears to be robust in capital markets, thanks to a concerted drive by the government and business sector. By FY 2028, India is predicted to be the worlds fourth-largest private wealth market.

The governments fiscal and monetary stimulus, as well as the RBIs measures, have substantially aided in the economys speedy recovery.

NBFCs aid economic development in the following ways:

Mobilization of Resources - It converts savings into investments Capital Formation - Aids to increase capital stock of a company Provision of Long-term Credit and specialized Credit Aid in Employment Generation Help in development of Financial Markets Helps in Attracting Foreign Grants

Helps in Breaking Vicious Circle of Poverty by serving as governments instrument

Non-bank financial companies expect the government to continue pumping in liquidity as it will boost the sectors employment, and direct disposable income and consumption.

NBFC Role in Revolutionizing the Economy

Growth: Despite the slowdown in the economy and various setbacks faced in the last few years, the sector is still growing and enhancing operations.

Profitability: NBFCs have been more profitable because of lower costs involved for its operations and serve customers from different segments.

Upliftment in the Employment Sector: With the growth in operations of the small industries and businesses, the policies of NBFCs are uplifting the job situation. More opportunities for employment are arising with the influence of the NBFCs in the private as well as government sectors. The business activities in the private sector provide more employment opportunities and occupation practices. And NBFC plays a key role in their growth and stability.

Mobilization of Asset: Due to their easier norms for investing, these companies create a balance between intra-regional income and asset distribution. Turning the savings into investments, these companies contribute to economic development. Proper organization of capital helps in the development of the trade and industry, leading to economic progress. They operate not intending to maximize their profit and are, therefore, engaged in activities that generate zero or very low revenue.

NBFCs have been at the forefront of catering to the financial needs and creating livelihood sources of the so-called un-bankable masses in the rural and semi-urban areas. Through strong linkage at the grassroots level, they have created a medium of reach and communication and are very effectively serving this segment. Thus, NBFCs have all the key characteristics to enable the government and regulator to achieve the mission of financial inclusion in the given time.
