Sector / Market Context
India's NBFC sector remains subject to heightened SEBI and RBI scrutiny on fund utilisation disclosures following several regulatory tightening measures over recent years. The mandatory monitoring agency framework under SEBI ICDR Regulations 162A was strengthened to improve post-issue transparency for investors in preferential allotments, particularly for larger capital raises. Gold loan NBFCs have seen sustained demand for credit products backed by gold collateral, supported by rising gold prices and continued rural credit requirements across India.
