To operate successfully in these segments, mortgage providers require good assessment skills to mitigate risks. In addition to their core business, AHFCs and Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) are also increasing their exposure to other mortgage segments, such as loan against property and developer loans.
The upcoming Union Budget is expected to introduce measures to boost the affordable housing market, which has led to an increase in investor interest in AHFCs. This growing interest is driven by the potential for AHFCs to benefit from government initiatives aimed at promoting affordable housing. Furthermore, the rising demand for housing in India, coupled with the government's emphasis on 'Housing for All', presents a significant opportunity for AHFCs to expand their business.
As the affordable housing market continues to grow, AHFCs are well-positioned to tap into this opportunity. With their expertise in serving the mass market and low-income segments, AHFCs can play a vital role in realizing the government's vision of providing affordable housing to all.
In addition, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) scheme, which aims to provide housing for all by 2022, is expected to provide a significant boost to the affordable housing market. AHFCs can leverage this scheme to expand their business and reach a wider customer base.
In conclusion, multiple triggers are aligning to create a favorable environment for AHFCs. With the government's focus on affordable housing, growing demand for housing, and increasing investor interest, AHFCs are poised for significant growth in the coming years.
