L T Finance Plans to Add 500 Gold Loan Branches Annually Over Five Years
L T Finance plans to add at least 500 dedicated gold loan branches annually over the next four to five years, aiming to expand its network to 2,500-3,000 branches nationwide. Currently operating 343 branches, the company expects to reach 800 by the end of the financial year. The expansion will cover all regions, with a focus on the east, west, south, and north, and Gujarat is projected to see 50-60 new branches annually. The gold loan portfolio has grown significantly since acquiring a Chandigarh-based business in June 2025.
