It is starting operations with a capital of Rs 12 crore which it plans to grow to Rs 100 crore in the coming three years. The capital has been routed through the investment arm of the promoters of Wave Group.

Rakesh Kapoor, chief operating officer and whole time director, NHHFDL, said, “In the present scenario, there has been a gap in demand and availability of housing finance. To bridge the gap and realise the need and importance of the sector, the group is now venturing into this segment.”

The group aims to have a loan book size of Rs 1,000 crore in five years. The company is also open to tie up with private equity players to raise capital to ramp up the business. “We can look at tie-ups with PE players at a later stage,” he said.
