Housing Development Finance Corp (HDFC), India's largest mortgage lender, aims to post an average of 20 percent annual growth in new lending in coming years despite surging interest rates and competition. Demand for home loans will be helped by rising incomes in burgeoning middle-class households and a low penetration of housing loans in Asia's third-largest economy.
HDFC, in which Citigroup sold a 1.5 percent stake to lower its holding to 9.9 percent, posted a rise of nearly 20 percent in loan disbursements in the fiscal year that ended on March 31 to 603.14 bn rupees ($13.5 bn). HDFC's provisions for bad loans could come down in this fiscal year through March 2012 as asset quality remains strong. The company's spreads would remain in the range of 2.15 percent to 2.35 percent.
