Bajaj Housing finance is engaged in individual home loans (prime category), loan against property, lease rental discounting and developer finance. With an AUM of ₹97071 crore (as of June 2024), Bajaj Finance remains one of the fastest growing HFCs. Healthy growth (25-35%), diversified asset mix to deliver strong margins, superior return ratios (RoA at 2.2-2.5%) and best in class asset quality (GNPA – 0.28% as of June 2024) remains core strengths of the business.
