Shubham Housing Finance Raises 96 Million Dollars

25 Mar 2026 CW Team

Over the past year the company has scaled rapidly and assets under management reached approximately Rs 75,000 mn as of December 2025, supported by strong demand among India’s emerging middle class. Shubham operates 200 branches across 12 states and is continuing to expand its footprint to meet growing demand. Management described the lender as focused on serving customers who lack traditional income documentation or credit history. The company cited persistent demand across smaller towns and peri urban areas.

The company addresses a significant gap in access to formal housing finance by enabling families to become first-time homeowners even when they do not have conventional proofs of income. Products and distribution have been tailored to the affordable housing segment and to the needs of informal sector borrowers, the statement added. Investors were reported to include global impact funds and leading regional private equity houses. Risk management and credit evaluation processes have been adapted to the borrower profile without reliance on standard documentation.

The infusion of capital is expected to support loan book growth, branch expansion and technology investments aimed at improving underwriting and customer reach. The transaction also facilitates liquidity for early stage investors while maintaining a capital base to pursue new markets. The firm intends to leverage the backing to deepen penetration in underbanked regions and to scale product offerings across its network.

The sum equates to about Rs 8,700 million (mn).
