Now, ICICI Bank is planning to revive and expand the housing loan business to new regions.
There has been a significant increase in the growth in housing loan demands after the government unveiled ‘housing for all’ scheme, which is believed to be one of the reasons behind the ICICI Bank retaining its housing subsidiary.
Earlier this year, the bank’s rural head Anirudh Kamani has been appointed as the CEO of the home finance arm.
ICICI Home Finance has a capital of INR16bn ($240m) and a loan book of INR100bn ($1.5bn), reported The Hindu.
