PNB Housing Revives Commercial Mortgage Biz as Affordable Loans Drive Growth
Real Estate News:PNB Housing Finance Ltd is looking to re-grow its commercial mortgage portfolio after having substantially improved the asset quality of its corporate loan book, even as it restructures its retail business to focus on the higher yielding affordable loans segments.

The lender is looking to bulk up its commercial portfolio, even if marginally, to make up for the reduction in high-ticket lending to individuals (retail borrowers) as it shifts its focus to smaller housing loans.

Affordable housing loans fetch PNB Housing the highest interest rates, offering yields of 12.6%, higher than 10.2-10.3% from the emerging market segment and 9.5% from the prime loans segment, managing director and chief executive Girish Kousgi told Mint in an interview.
