Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman urged NBFCs to refrain from aggressively marketing loans and to keep interest rates at reasonable levels.
She emphasized the importance of financial inclusion without exploiting customers, advising NBFCs to follow RBI's loan recovery norms and lending based on genuine needs and repayment capacity.
Sitharaman highlighted the need for a sustainable business model, risk management, and focus on liquidity and credit risks within NBFCs.
NBFCs are expected to play a significant role in sectors like green initiatives and affordable housing, with their strong fundamentals and improving asset quality post-pandemic.
