Affordable Housing Lenders Seek New Markets as Mature Branch Growth Stalls: Report
Affordable housing finance companies in India face growth stagnation in mature branches due to market saturation, according to a Systematix Research report. Expansion into new catchments and branch additions are seen as essential for sustaining growth amid rising competition from unlisted firms and larger NBFCs. Demand remains robust, with expectations of 3-7% quarterly disbursement improvements. Challenges include employee attrition and seasonal transaction delays, while specialist lenders maintain an edge in lower-ticket loans.
