LIC Housing Finance Ltd. is not looking to acquire smaller companies amid ongoing crisis at non-bank lenders, but might purchase certain portfolios to boost its liquidity position going forward, its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Vinay Sah said.
“Things are not that good for smaller [housing finance] companies,” Sah told BloombergQuint regarding potential mergers in the industry. He, however, expects the liquidity situation of the NBFC sector to improve in the coming two to three quarters.
The housing finance company aims to grow its disbursements by over 15 percent in the financial year 2019-20, Sah said, adding that he expects good growth rate coming from tier-2 and tier-3 cities. The company, he said, expects to raise Rs 20,000 crore in the next couple of months.
