Bharti Airtel’s Airtel Money has commenced commercial operations as a Type-II non-deposit accepting NBFC after securing RBI registration, enabling it to lend directly under a regulated framework. The move shifts Airtel from a lending platform to a balance-sheet lender, supporting its broader financial services strategy. Airtel plans to capitalise the business with ₹20,000 crore to expand its presence in India’s digital lending market.
