Small and medium enterprise (SME) loans and housing loans make up the majority of the portfolio’s remaining loans. CIFCL has entered three new business sectors—CSEL, SBPL, and SME—within the consumer and SME ecosystem. It will be interesting to see how these areas perform and how they fit into the overall portfolio. As of 3QFY23, the Cholamandalam Finance Holdings Limited and Ambadi Investments Ltd group businesses held 45.4% and 4.1% of the Murugappa group’s 51.5% holding in CIFCL, respectively.

• Disbursements grew by 87% in FY2023 and 49% YoY in H1 FY2024, driven by healthy demand across segments and contribution from new businesses
• AUM grew by 38% YoY in FY2023 and 42% YoY in H1 FY2024 (17% YTD in H1 FY2024) compared to 10% YoY in FY2022.
