Gold loan NBFCs have enough buffer for now — but a second 15% price drop would test them: Fitch Ratings

Gold prices have dropped over 15%, but India’s gold loan NBFCs remain stable due to strong collateral buffers. Fitch Ratings notes that a further 15-20% decline could strain risk controls, especially if borrower cash flows weaken. New RBI rules are expected to enhance sector stability by standardizing LTV calculations and loan tenors.
