No a private company giving loan to another private company is not necessarily required to be registered as NBFC.
A non-banking financial company (NBFC) is a company registered under the Companies Act, 1956 and is engaged in the business of loans and advances, acquisition of shares/ stock/ bonds / debentures / securities issued by government or local authority or other securities of like marketable nature, leasing, hire-purchase, insurance business, chit business, but does not include any institution whose principal business is that of agriculture activity, industrial activity, sale/purchase/construction of immovable property.
So if the private company is primarily engaged in above financing activities then only it's required to be registered.
