All is not bad with NBFCs
Although the central government has been insisting that RBI step in to provide relief to non-banking finance companies (NBFCs), but the central bank has refused to play ball. NBFCs are grappling with a cash crunch after IL&FS defaulted on repayments. Negative scenario in NBFC space is thus due to liquidity issue. However, three NBFCs have posted strong numbers in Q2FY19 and our research shows tremendous strength in longer run in these three NBFCs.
