Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India increased their credit deployment by 8.5% in July 2026 compared to the previous year, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The data released on September 7 highlights sector-wise lending patterns, reflecting a steady growth in NBFC credit portfolios during the month.
The RBI's report on sectoral deployment of credit by NBFCs details the distribution of loans across various sectors for July 2026. The increase in credit was driven by higher lending to infrastructure, housing, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The report provides a granular view of NBFCs’ lending trends, emphasizing their role in supporting diverse economic segments.
This growth in NBFC credit deployment is significant given the sector's role in complementing bank lending, especially to underserved sectors. Compared to previous months, the 8.5% rise indicates a sustained demand for credit from NBFCs, which are crucial for financial inclusion and economic expansion. The RBI’s data offers a benchmark for monitoring credit flow dynamics in the non-banking financial sector.
The RBI’s official release dated September 7, 2026, includes detailed statistics on credit deployment by NBFCs, serving as a key reference for policymakers and market participants tracking credit growth and sectoral financing trends.
