Credit Rating Agency ICRA in its latest report has said that the non-banking financial companies-housing finance companies (NBFC-HFC) sector has registered a year-on-year on-book portfolio growth of 15% to Rs 12.7 crore as on June 30, 2022. The on-book portfolio growth in Q1 FY2023 was high as the last two fiscals witnessed moderate growth in the first quarter. In its recent research report, ICRA expects the overall on-book portfolio growth for FY2023 to be lower than that seen in Q1 FY2023. Moreover, the rising interest rate scenario may moderate the growth to some extent
According to the report, the asset quality recovery continued in Q1 FY2023 and the gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) declined by 6 basis points (bps) to 3.1% as on June 30, 2022, from 3.2% as on March 31, 2022, due to increase in the on-book portfolio and recovery in the non-housing segment of some large HFCs. This is against the general trend of an increase in the GNPAs in the first quarter of any fiscal. It noted that the industry also continued to witness good recoveries from the restructured book and with growth in the assets under management (AUM), the standard restructured book declined to 1.3% of AUM as on June 30, 2022, from 1.7% as on March 31, 2022.
The report further said the HFCs have been maintaining healthy on-balance sheet liquidity for the last few quarters and have gradually reduced their reliance on short-term funding sources like CP, which has helped improve asset-liability mismatches in the near-term buckets. With the reduced uncertainties and increasing interest rate scenario, it said HFCs are expected to reduce on-balance sheet liquidity from the current high level, nevertheless, the same is expected to remain comfortable.
