QnA with Raakhe Tandon, Founder, MD and CEO of RAAS Housing Finance What is the current trend in the housing finance market? The Indian housing finance market has grown at a steady rate of 17% CAGR over the last three years and has reported good asset quality indicators. The market continues to be dominated by the six large groups namely SBI Group, HDFC Group, LIC Housing Finance, ICICI Group, DHFL and Axis Bank, which account for 91% of the total housing credit in India. At the same time, there has been an emergence of new entrants in niche segments like affordable housing finance and different segments of the business community.
