NBFC margins may tighten as funding costs rise
In short
NBFCs are expected to do well because loan demand is strong and asset quality is holding up. But the second half of FY26-27 could be tougher if higher interest rates push up funding costs.
That could squeeze margins for lenders if they cannot pass on the extra cost. The report does not say which NBFCs will be hit most.
