High Ticket Size Home Loans on the Rise


There is another class of cities like Pune, Nagpur, Ahemedabad, Gwalior, Lucknow etc. where the number of borrowers of low value home loans i.e. below 10 lakh has declined to 43 percent in 2011, compared to 69 percent in 2007. In these cities, medium value home loans of 10-20 lakh contribute the maximum share of home loan sector which is around 32 percent.

Much smaller cities also replicate the same trend where low ticket sized loans have shrunk to 58 percent in 2011, from 80 percent in 2007.  But loans in these cities of 50 lakh couldn’t grab much space in the total home loans provided and made only 2 percent in it. These cities rather made loans of 5-10 lakh, 10 lakh and 20 lakh, which contributed 30 percent, 28 percent, and 27 percent of the total share respectively.
