Shriram Finance Plans 18-20% Growth Backed by MUFG Capital Infusion
Shriram Finance, India's second-largest non-bank lender by market value, expects to sustain 18-20% annual credit growth and maintain 8.5% margins over the next five years without needing fresh capital, following a ₹40,000 crore investment by Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). This capital infusion strengthens its balance sheet, enabling more aggressive expansion in commercial vehicle and electric vehicle leasing, while continuing to focus on retail and used vehicle finance. The company also plans to grow its gold loan segment with specialized branches.
