Mortgage Industry Overview
The Indian mortgage sector, encompassing housing loans and loans against property, demonstrated consistent growth at approximately 15% from Fiscal 2019 to Fiscal 2023. This upward trajectory is attributed to factors such as enhanced affordability due to rising disposable income, the trend towards urbanization and nuclearization of families, government initiatives like "Housing for all," pandemic-related impetus packages, the NHB Refinance scheme, the emergence of tier-2 and tier-3 cities, simplified financing options, and increased accessibility to financial institutions.
Looking ahead, CRISIL MI&A predicts a robust 11-13% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the mortgage market between Fiscal 2023 and 2026. This growth is expected to be fuelled by ongoing urbanization, heightened demand from tier-2 and tier-3 cities, incentives such as tax benefits and favourable interest rates, along with continued government initiatives in the sector.
