Envision's Nilesh Shah on NBFCs being a big 'avoid', why midcaps are better, and favourite sectors
Nilesh Shah, MD & CEO of Envision Capital is of the view that non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) are still a big "avoid".
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Shah said there was a structural challenge with the business models of NBFCs.
"The liability side continues to be a challenge in terms of overall NBFCs," he said.
"In the very short-term they will continue to face challenges in terms of the asset quality and the kind of provisioning that they will have to do and the kind of collections and this whole moratorium thing and what final impact it will have in terms of their collection," he said, adding that these challenges would persist for the next two-three quarters at least or maybe for most part of this financial year.
