Amid churn, non-banks explore consolidation option
Live MintIndia’s non-bank lenders, staring at ₹1.51 trillion debt repayments due in the next six months, are rushing to raise fresh equity and pursuing mergers with bigger peers to avert defaults, as the coronavirus pandemic darkens the outlook for the sector that has struggled since the collapse of Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd nearly two years ago. “In many instances, we are witnessing that there is very little or no interest from external investors in the fundraising exercise of many NBFCs, which is forcing them to raise money internally to meet debt obligations,” a top executive at a large wholesale NBFC said on condition of anonymity. Rural market-focused Mahindra Finance said in a statement on 27 July that it will use the proceeds of its rights issue to prepay certain outstanding borrowings of the company, augment long-term capital and resources for meeting funding requirements for the company’s business activities and for general corporate purposes. “Commercial paper issuance by NBFC has been around ₹1 trillion in the last four months and the decline in yield of CPs will also help NBFCs to protect their margins,” said Ghosh.
