Management perspective about future of the Company

Over the past decade, India's housing finance market has expanded steadily, supported by sustained housing demand, improving affordability and a favourable policy environment. Rising aspirations for home ownership, expanding urban centres and greater access to formal credit continue to strengthen the sector's long-term fundamentals.

Valued at approximately ' 44.4 trillion as of March 2026, India's housing finance market is well positioned for sustained long-term expansion, supported by structural growth drivers such as rapid urbanisation, rising household incomes, favourable demographics, increasing formalisation of credit and continued government support for housing.

Against this backdrop, the Company continues to strengthen its position in the housing finance sector through disciplined portfolio growth, improved asset quality and stable Net Interest Margins. Leveraging its extensive branch network, a strong agency force of over 8,500 marketing intermediaries, developer connectors and strategic partnerships, the Company is widening its reach across Tier II and Tier III markets while reinforcing its retail franchise. Continued emphasis on recovery, delinquency management and portfolio monitoring remains central to preserving asset quality.

Technology continues to be a key enabler of the Company's long-term strategy. Through Project RED, the Company is modernising its operating model by strengthening digital loan origination, customer onboarding, servicing and analytics-led decision-making. Continuous enhancements to the HomY application, greater adoption of digital onboarding, process automation and improved turnaround times are expected to enhance customer experience while improving operational efficiency and scalability.

Going forward, the Company will continue to expand its retail portfolio with greater emphasis on higher-yielding products while broadening its presence across emerging customer segments. It also remains committed to supporting affordable housing through the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and developing solutions aligned with the evolving financing requirements of salaried, self-employed and first-time homebuyers.

Alongside growth, the Company will continue to optimise its borrowing profile to maintain a competitive cost of

funds, strengthen Net Interest Margins and improve overall profitability. Robust underwriting standards, prudent treasury management, continuous portfolio surveillance and proactive recovery mechanisms under the SARFAESI Act and other statutory frameworks will remain integral to the Company's risk management approach.
