Existing projects may be subject to a cash withdrawal. A pipeline of projects worth over Rs 1,000 crore is also being evaluated.

Project loan disbursements fell to Rs 428 crore in the reporting period ending March 31, 2022, from Rs 1,197 crore in the fourth quarter of (Q4FY) 2020-21.

On March 31, 2022, the project credit portfolio was Rs 12,978 crore, down from Rs 15,956 crore on March 31, 2021.

According to Y Viswanatha Gowd, managing director and chief executive officer, LIC Housing Finance, this year will be significantly better. Despite the prospect of rising interest rates, the country's economic outlook is significantly brighter than it was in FY21 and FY22.

In FY23, a 15% increase in disbursements is expected. From Rs 2.32 trillion a year earlier, the total outstanding portfolio increased by 8% to Rs 2.51 trillion by March 2022 end.

Individual home loan portfolios increased by 13% to Rs 2.04 trillion as of March 31, 2021, from Rs 1.8 trillion.
