Strategic Profile

The company recently reduced lending rates to 7.15% onwards on individual home loans, positioning itself competitively in the market. Strategic initiatives are underway to diversify the loan portfolio and enhance operational efficiency, with a focus on self-employed and affordable housing segments. However, disbursement growth has stagnated due to intense competition, particularly from banks.
