RBI Issues Amendment Directions on Risk Weighting for NBFC Exposure to Infrastructure Projects

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has issued amendment directions to the risk-weighting framework governing Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) for their exposure to infrastructure projects, with an aim to better align capital requirements with actual project risk.

The RBI had earlier released draft amendment directions on October 24, 2025, seeking stakeholder feedback on proposed changes to the Scale-Based Regulation framework. The proposed amendments were primarily aimed at aligning risk weights with the risk characteristics of operational infrastructure projects, thereby supporting improved risk assessment and more efficient capital allocation.

After examining the feedback received from stakeholders, the RBI said the suggested changes have been suitably incorporated into the final framework. A detailed statement on stakeholder feedback has been provided in an annexure to the directions.

Accordingly, the RBI has now notified the Reserve Bank of India (Non-Banking Financial Companies – Prudential Norms on Capital Adequacy) Amendment Directions, 2026 and the Reserve Bank of India (Non-Banking Financial Companies – Concentration Risk Management) Amendment Directions, 2026.
