The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reported an increase in fresh loan sanctions to the private sector, signaling a recovery in long-term lending. Infrastructure projects, particularly in the power sector and road and bridge construction, continue to receive the majority of bank funding. Maharashtra and Gujarat have been the biggest recipients of private sector project loans, while Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have also seen significant improvements. However, the current levels of loan sanctions are still lower than the peak levels observed in 2010-2011, indicating a restrained growth in corporate investment. Banks are diversifying their loan portfolios, focusing more on MSMEs and retail sectors.

Fintech firm BharatPe has demonstrated remarkable growth over the past three fiscal years, with revenue increasing from Rs 119 crore in FY21 to Rs 1,426 crore in the fiscal year ending March 2024. In its consolidated annual report for FY24, BharatPe claimed a 39% year-on-year revenue increase, rising from Rs 1,029 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,426 crore in FY24. Additionally, the company made significant progress in reducing losses, with consolidated losses dropping by 50% to Rs 474 crore in FY24, down from Rs 941 crore in FY23. According to the press release, BharatPe’s average merchant lending portfolio, generated from loans facilitated through its platform, grew by 40% year-on-year in the last fiscal year. The company also achieved positive EBITDA in October of this year. “We considerably slashed our cash burn in FY24 and are on track to build a sustainable and profitable business. Over the last year, we have been able to partner with renowned financial institutions to extend credit access to merchants, which is a great validation for our business. Going forward, we will focus on growing our lending vertical, launching new offerings across POS, soundbox, and scaling our consumer vertical,” said Nalin Negi, CEO of BharatPe. In addition to reducing losses, BharatPe has diversified into new categories to drive business growth. Recently, the company rebranded its PostPe app to BharatPe, marking its entry into the consumer payments space. This strategic move places BharatPe in direct competition with industry giants like PhonePe, Google Pay, and Paytm in the peer-to-peer (P2P) payments ecosystem. The fintech unicorn has also ventured into secured lending for its merchant partners. Through partnerships with OTO Capital and Vol Money, BharatPe now facilitates two-wheeler loans and loans against mutual funds, respectively. Additionally, BharatPe has resolved its longstanding dispute with former co-founder and managing director Ashneer Grover.
