Credit risk from new lending outside Indian Railways
Analysts raised concerns about maintaining zero NPAs while lending to new entities; management emphasized cherry-picking AAA-rated government-linked assets.
Competition from banks and NBFCs
Management noted they compete with efficient banks and NBFCs, but their low cost of capital and overhead give them an edge.

Q1 disbursement was only INR 3,000 crore vs. annual target of INR 30,000 crore; management expects acceleration in Q2 via refinancing.
