Grihashakti is currently present in the state through its branches located at Bijapur, Gulbarga, Shimoga, Belgaum, and Mysore, in addition to its recently opened branches in Bengaluru and Hubli.

The Company also offers services across non-housing categories, which includes Commercial Property Loans and Loan against Property. The loans offered are competitively priced and the ticket size ranges from Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 5 crore. Grihashakti has also launched ‘Grihalakshmi’ – a home loan product specially designed for women borrowers last year. This product encourages salaried and entrepreneurial women in urban and semi-urban India to help build a home for their family and create asset ownership on the basis of their income. The rate of interest on these loans is competitively priced, from 8.99% onwards for housing loans and 10.50% onwards for non-housing loans. Karnataka is a key market for Grihashakti with a stable asset quality, online records of property transaction, and robust land revenue record system.

Commenting on the expansion plans, Rakesh Makkar, Chief Executive Officer, Grihashakti –Fullerton India Home Finance Company Limited said “Karnataka is the nation’s largest IT and start-up hub, and this has acted as an impetus to its booming economy. This has subsequently led to an increasing demand for home loans as well as Loan against Property among working professionals who wish to further their career in the state. Bengaluru and Hubli continue to be important markets for Grihashakti and with the launch of these new and bigger branches, we wish to reinstate our commitment of bringing in more people under the umbrella of organised credit.”
