Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026
The rise of gold loan securitisation signals strong demand for gold-backed lending and investor confidence in NBFCs. This trend may boost liquidity for gold loan financiers and influence asset allocation in the securitisation market.
In the April-June quarter of FY27, gold loans became the largest securitised asset class in India, overtaking vehicle loans, according to a S&P Global — CRISIL Ratings Ratings report. Total securitisation issuance rose 22% year-on-year to about Rs 60,000 crore, with over 98% originated by non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). Gold loans accounted for 31% of volumes, while vehicle loans fell to 26%. The shift was driven by strong gold loan portfolio growth, healthy investor appetite, and the use of the direct assignment route. Public sector banks were key investors, attracted by low credit losses and risk-weight benefits. The report expects continued growth in securitisation, supported by retail credit demand and increasing originator participation.
