The proposed expansion would build on its existing semi urban and rural network, diversify its lending portfolio and strengthen its secured retail lending business. The company also announced its Q2 and H1 FY27 financial results. To establish its presence in the segment, the Company will evaluate the most suitable route, which may involve acquiring or investing in an existing Housing Finance Company, or establishing a subsidiary with the requisite regulatory approvals. The preferred approach will be determined based on true strategic fit, capital requirements and the potential to establish a scalable and sustainable affordable housing finance business. Amitabh Chaturvedi, Executive Chairman, said: "Affordable housing finance offers a natural opportunity to deepen our relationships with customers in Tier III and Tier IV markets and support their aspirations for home ownership. We see the potential to build a scalable secured lending business that complements our existing franchise and creates long-term value. We will pursue this opportunity through disciplined capital allocation, prudent underwriting and the rapid expansion of our distribution network.” Alongside the proposed housing finance expansion, the company has approved the launch of two shorter-tenor, MSME-focused lending products: PURPLE SARAL, with loan amounts ranging from ₹75,000 to ₹2 lakh, and SAKSHAM LAP, a mortgage loan offering with ticket sizes ranging from ₹2 lakh to ₹4 lakh. These additions will broaden the company’s existing product portfolio, enabling it to serve the full spectrum of the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector. The company has also introduced an institutional lending product to provide financing solutions to NBFCs serving MSMEs. H1Q2 FY27 Financial Performance and Outlook Standalone assets under management (AUM) grew 101% year-on-year and 18% sequentially to ₹329.21 crore, with Gross NPA remaining below 2.5%. Following the acquisition of Saksham Gram Credit Pvt. Ltd., the Group’s combined AUM reached ₹853 crore, with 205 branches and more than 1.6 lakh borrowers. The Group reported consolidated profit after tax of ₹100.17 lakh for the quarter and ₹138.59 lakh for the half-year ended September 30.
