According to a statement, the company plans for fund growth to raise Rs 2,500 crore in 2021 through debt instruments and bank funding. The MD of Sundaram Home Finance, Lakshminarayanan Duraiswamy, said that the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic caused uncertainty throughout the quarter though, the relaxation of the lockdown in June in most of the states led to a partial growth in the real estate demand at the end of the first quarter. He also said that the disbursements made in Q1 were driven by mid-market segments, mostly of salaried classes in II and III tier towns. The company is positive about the growth prospects for the rest of the year, leaving behind the worst, he said.
