Sundaram Home Finance aims to disburse ₹300 crore in Madhya Pradesh
The city-headquartered company inaugurated a branch in Pithampur and Ratlam and has targeted disbursements of Rs 300 crore in Madhya Pradesh this financial year.
"This expansion in Madhya Pradesh is in line with our stated intent of identifying select growth opportunities in Tier II and III towns outside South India and building a stronger base in states where we already present in," Sundaram Home Finance MD D Lakshminarayanan said in a company statement here.
The company currently operates two branches in Indore and one in Bhopal. With the current expansion in Pithampur and Ratlam, the total number of branches operated by Sundaram Home Finance in Madhya Pradesh increases to five.
On the reasons behind expanding presence in Madhya Pradesh, Lakshminarayanan said the Central state is an important market for Sundaram Home Finance outside South India.
"Rapid industrial growth is leading to increased affordability among the customers in that state. Over the last 12 months, we have seen a strong demand for home finance in larger towns like Indore and Bhopal in the mid-segment with a typical ticket size of about Rs 40 lakh", he said.
He expected similar demand to continue for residential properties in Pithampur and Ratlam and expressed confidence of leveraging the increasing growth opportunities in Madhya Pradesh.
The company crossed the milestone by disbursing Rs 1,000 crore outside South India operations last year. The company has over 150 branches across the country.

Double-decker flyover: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd yet to get Rs 450cr from state
Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) is yet to receive the Rs 450 crore reimbursement promised by the state govt in 2017-18 for the Yellow Line's double-decker flyover between Ragigudda and Central Silk Board. The design change was approved on the assurance that the govt would bear the cost of the road flyover component. The city's first double-decker flyover — built after demolishing the Jayadeva flyover — took years to complete. In July 2024, BMRCL partially opened the 5km road flyover from Ragigudda to Silk Board, including ramps built around the Silk Board junction, for motorists travelling towards Silk Board. According to sources, BMRCL has repeatedly sought reimbursement, including during high-power committee (HPC) meetings, but funds haven't been released. In Namma Metro projects, the state and central govts share costs, but road components within Metro projects fall under the state's responsibility.

The proposed stretches include Hebbal to JP Nagar 4th Phase along Outer Ring Road and Hosahalli to Kadabagere on Magadi Road. Phase III of Namma Metro is estimated to cost Rs 15,611 crore, with an additional Rs 9,000 crore required for the road flyovers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allocate Rs 8,916 crore for the project. Urban mobility experts argue that road flyovers don't reduce congestion and instead encourage private vehicle use, whereas Metro expansion should be prioritised to strengthen public transport. A source said, "The issue of reimbursement of expenses incurred towards execution of the road flyover as part of the Metro project has been going on for a long time. In the recent meeting, the issue was discussed in the HPC. It was noted that the work has helped ease traffic congestion for vehicles heading towards Silk Board and for those crossing from there towards HSR Layout and Hosur Road. The urban development department will take up the matter with the finance department for reimbursement. " Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
