Renu Sud Karnad, MD, HDFC said, “Growth in home loans came from both the affordable housing segment as well as high-end properties.” In a non-quarter end month, disbursements in July were recorded as the highest, as per HDFC.
Y Viswanatha Gowd, MD and CEO of LIC Housing Finance, said that the value of house ownership has been revived owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. He added, ” The concept of work-from-home is also fuelling the need and creating a demand for larger spaces as a subset.”
