This is the first funding to the hostage lender by AIIB, Monu Ratra, Chief Executive Officer of IIFL Home Finance, told ET.
“ECB from AIIB is unique in the sense that we can fund developers who are constructing cheap homes. It will address the shortage of affordable houses in places where demands remain strong. Also we can use these funds for cheap home loans.”
The loan is raised with all inclusive costs of 8.58% a year for five years. Principal payment is a 1.5 -year adjournment and then six monthly similar principal repayment for 3.5 years.
AIIB said that funding will align green building practices with India’s climate goals.
“This investment reflects AIIB’s commitment for inclusive and permanent infrastructure,” said Gregory Liu, Director General of AIIB’s financial institutions and Fund Client Department. “By partnering with IIFLHF, AIIB is helping to pursue India’s Green Building Agenda, reducing the housing intervals for low -income families in India,” he said in a note published in the company’s website. AIIB began operating in 2016, now 110 full and approved members worldwide, and capitalized at $ 100 billion. The AIIB collaborates with partners to raise capital and invest in infrastructure and other producing areas that promote permanent economic growth and increase regional connectivity. This is the second ECB raised by IIFL Home Finance. The mortgage lender has assets worth about Rs 40000 crore under the management. Affordable housing loans contribute two-thirds of AUM.
IIFL Home Finance is 79.59% under IIFL finance, while the remaining amount is conducted by 20.41% ADIA.
