However, the company remains cautious regarding: * **Regulatory Headwinds:** Increased **risk weights** for consumer lending introduced by the RBI in late 2023. * **Funding Constraints:** Potential short-term roadblocks due to broader liquidity difficulties in the NBFC sector. * **Rural Credit Culture:** Potential negative impacts on repayment discipline due to various regional **loan waivers**.
