Future of Housing Finance - Outlook
? The sector has witnessed significant growth in the past one decade on the back of the steady economic growth, growing acceptability of home finance and stronger market penetration of housing finance companies in various micro markets
? The current low mortgage penetration offers a huge opportunity for the sector to grow, supported by India?s sustainable development cycle and the socio-economic transformation through long-term programs like Smart Cities, Make in India, has already been set in motion.
? The recent announcement by the Prime Minister to boost mass housing in peripheral areas with attractive interest subventions and increase in the number of homes in rural areas, are tremendously welcome moves particularly for the segment at the bottom of the pyramid, where growth and potential exists.
? The Government?s announcement is a timely acknowledgment of the inherent industry potential as well as strong steps to achieve it?s Housing For All objective. This, together with
the Credit Guarantee for SMEs will enable small business owners and the middle class salaried customer to make better progress in their businesses, take a step towards higher aspirations and seek to move into their own houses.
? The technology transition associated is also expected to boost the ability of housing finance institutions to lend credit through shorter and friendly processes to assess eligibility and
faster underwriting. With several benefits associated, advantages of digital documents, fewer intermediaries, cost of finance is expected to come down, which can be passed onto the customer.
? Securitization of home loan portfolio together with appropriate ratings and guarantee structures are imperative to support the growing resource needs of the financial system.
Also, as a regulator of Housing Finance industry, the role of NHB is going to be extremely crucial in the evolution of the Housing Finance sector ? adapting a market-maker approach.

? As the debt market in India deepens, we foresee a very vibrant secondary mortgage market, which along with securitization; will be critical in taking care of the burgeoning demand for housing finance.
? We foresee ?Specialization? as key driver in financial services with RBI paving the way for entry of specialized banking. We also anticipate Mortgage Banks to be recognized as one of the critical contributors to the overall finance ecosystem.
? In conclusion, how well we structure these building blocks, adopting a transformative approach within the socio economic fabric of India, will be crucial to ensure a self sustaining mortgage finance sector in the India financial system and play a pivotal role in economic growth.
