Risks
Credit Risk: The primary risk for an NBFC, stemming from borrowers defaulting on loans, leading to non-performing assets (NPAs) and impacting profitability.
Interest Rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates can impact the company's net interest margin (NIM) if its borrowing and lending rates are not appropriately matched.
Liquidity Risk: The risk of not having sufficient funds to meet short-term obligations, often arising from asset-liability mismatches or difficulty in raising funds.
Regulatory Risk: Changes in RBI regulations, capital adequacy norms, or lending guidelines can impact business models and profitability.
Competition: Intense competition from other NBFCs, banks, and fintech lenders can pressure margins and market share.
Economic Downturn: A slowdown in economic activity can lead to higher defaults and reduced demand for credit.
