Crisil Ratings in its latest report has said that co-lending assets under management (AUM) of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) is nearing Rs 1 lakh crore after more than 5 years since the model came into being.
According to the report, a study of about 100 NBFCs, accounting for over 90 per cent of the sector's AUM, showed that personal loans alone account for about a third of the AUM, followed by housing loans at 20 per cent and unsecured MSME loans and gold loans each making up 13 per cent of the pie. It noted that secured micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) (including loan against property) and vehicle loans comprise the rest 20 per cent of the current overall co-lending book.
The report stated that under the co-lending model, banks are permitted to co-lend with all registered NBFCs based on a prior agreement. Over the medium term, growth momentum is seen healthy at 35-40 per cent annually, amidst rising interests of partners - NBFCs as well as banks. The partners, however, may increase their focus on other asset classes such as loans to MSME and home loans given higher risk weights for personal loans.
