The business environment is set to turn favorable for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), thanks to two recent developments. On Tuesday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) eased risk-weight norms for bank lending to NBFCs, reducing it from 125% to 100%, from 1 April.

The measure follows a 25 basis points (bps) repo rate cut on 7 February and is likely to ease investor concerns about systemic growth.
