Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 22: Star Housing Finance Ltd (Star HFL. BSE: 539017), a retail-focused semi-urban / rural housing finance company, has entered into a co-lending partnership with Tata Capital Housing Finance Limited (TCHFL). The partnership aims to leverage the domain of Star HFL in low-ticket affordable housing finance space and the mutual synergies arising out of operations. This agreement is expected to bolster Star HFL's AUM growth journey. Star HFL has transitioned to a professionally run housing finance company governed by a strong and independent board. With a strong risk and governance framework, the Company has expanded to become a multi-state operational company present in semi-urban / rural micro markets. Star HFL branch network across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, NCR and Tamil Nadu would be utilized in this partnership to provide housing finance assistance predominantly to home buyers in economically weaker section (EWS) and low-income group (LIG) segment.
Ashish Jain, MD of Star HFL, said, "Happy to be entering into the co-lending partnership with Tata Capital Housing Finance Limited. I am confident that both teams will be enriched through the exchange of best practices across operational areas. There is an underserved segment of prospective home buyers who do not have formal credit access, and therefore, their home-owning dreams remain unrealized. Through this partnership, we look to further augment credit access for deserving customers in this addressable segment and, at the same time, build a good-quality loan book. Wish both teams good luck in this engagement, and may this partnership prosper in times to come".\
