2) INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS

The Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India have been pivotal in bridging the credit gap for various segments of the economy. These institutions have complemented the traditional banking sector by offering financial services tailored to the unique needs of their clients, leveraging their extensive geographical reach and quick service delivery. Major stock indices such as the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty showed robust gains over the year, reflectingoverall market optimism despite occasional volatility. The BSE Sensex, for instance, started the financial year around 65,000 points and ended around 75,000 points, marking a significant increase.

The total market capitalization of listed companies on Indian stock exchanges increased significantly, indicating strong investor confidence and inflows. This growth was driven by both domestic and foreign institutional investments.

Between FY 2023 and FY 2025, the NBFC sector is expected to witness a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13–15% in credit extension. This growth is a testament to the sector?s resilience and reflects its crucial role in supporting India?s economic development by enhancing formal credit penetration among underserved populations*

3) OPPORTUNITY AND THREATS

Throughout FY24, the Indian economy has maintained its stature as the fastest growing country in the world. The growth outlook was frequently revised upwards following better-than-expected quarterly growth numbers during the year.

The transformative shift in India?s financial services landscape over recent years, driven by digital innovations such as neo-banking, digital authentication, the proliferation of the

Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and increased mobile internet usage, has redefined the dynamics of financial services, especially credit. The modularisation of financial services facilitated by these advancements has empowered NBFCs to offer specialised and accessible financial products.

4) FUTURE PROSPECTS AND OUTLOOK

Despite the prevailing global economic challenges, the Indian economy is on a sustained growth and resilient trajectory. The country?s financial infrastructure demonstrates robustness, further reinforced by the continuous improvement in the health of its financial institutions. Although the global economic situation poses potential risks, along with the growing interconnectedness within the domestic financial landscape and the expanding role of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in financial services, the foundational strength of India?s banking sector, characterized by substantial capital reserves, regulatory vigilance, and solid balance sheets, is expected to provide a stable platform.

The future growth of the NBFC sector in India will be shaped by a confluence of factors, including policy support, regulatory oversight, and the continued digitisation of the financial value chain. These elements will collectively contribute to the sector?s ability to support the broader narrative of India?s economic expansion, making NBFCs indispensable to the nation?s growth story.
