Demand for Small, Medium Ticket Houses Back, Says Shriram HF CEO

Since PM Modi has announced Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojna Scheme, many housing companies have made it their goal to provide houses at an affordable rate. The government ensures the plan of giving homes to all the citizens, whether they be middle-class, upper-class, or belong to low-income status backgrounds. We can see

India is progressing slowly towards a way of success since the government is ensuring proper housing facilities for all.

There are also changes in the sector level that need to be addressed. Another positive change is that AIFs are now allowed to purchase NPAs. This was previously restricted to ARCs only. With the AIFs entering this space, it brings some competition. This is likely to expand the market.

The pure housing market has changed a lot in these 3-5 months. Despite having COVID, the last three months have increasingly changed a lot for these houses. This will increase volume, and we will see more housing facilities in FY22 than in FY20. With such a robustly growing economy, we can see the trajectory going drastically upwards in both financial and operational.

If you look at our home loan book, we look at about 50-60% growth next year. Our numbers this year, except for three months of COVID, will be about 60% more than last year. Effectively, we will double our roles in FY22 compared to FY20. We are on a solid growth path, and we have made adequate arrangements, both financially and materially, to manage this growth effectively.
