Ajai Shukla says rate hike should not hurt business

2026-10-29 · 1 source · BusinessLine Companies

In short

Ajai Shukla said the rate hike should not hurt business, and that a 100 basis point rise is unlikely in FY27. The summary also says the NBFC has strong loan and disbursement growth and has already met its target by the second quarter.

This matters for the NBFC and borrowers because higher rates can affect funding costs. The reporting does not name the company or give the size of the loan growth.
