Housing finance companies likely to grow at 8-10% in current fiscal: Icra Ratings

09 Nov 2021 Evaluate

Icra Ratings in its latest report has said housing finance companies (HFCs) may witness a growth of 8-10 per cent in current financial year (FY22) helped by rise in economic and higher demand. It mentioned in the first quarter of the current fiscal, HFCs registered nil sequential growth in the on-book portfolio as the second wave of COVID-19 impacted their disbursements and collection efficiency (CE). However, it said the collection efficiency started bouncing back by the end of June 2021 and improved further in the second quarter of the financial year 2022.

It stated the healthy demand in the industry, increasing level of economic activity, and increasing vaccination in the country are expected to result in a steady growth in disbursements and improvement in CE in FY2022. Further, it said HFCs asset quality metrics weakened quite sharply in Q1 FY2022 because of the localised lockdowns imposed by various states/union territories (UTs) on account of the second wave, which impacted the borrowers' cash flows and hence the collection efficiency.

It said the jump in overdue was the sharpest in the recent past, as borrower level liquidity got stretched in the absence of loan moratorium. Besides, it stated the gross non-performing assets (GNPAs) of HFCs increased to 3.6 per cent as of June 30, 2021, from 2.9 per cent as on March 31, 2021 (2.3 per cent as on March 31, 2020). Though the asset quality deteriorated across segments, construction finance was the worst hit followed by LAP and HL.
