India sees debut listing of residential mortgage-backed securities
MUMBAI, May 5 (Reuters) - India saw the listing of its first residential mortgage-backed securities sold through the bidding route on Monday.
The housing finance regulator expects firms to raise 100 billion rupees to 200 billion rupees ($1.2 billion to $2.4 billion) through these instruments in the current financial year.
The funds would be raised across seven to 10 transactions over the year, National Housing Bank Managing Director Sanjay Shukla said in Mumbai.
Residential mortgage-backed securities, securities with residential mortgages as the underlying asset, are common across global markets.
Non-bank financier LIC Housing Finance (LICH.NS), opens new tab last week raised 10 billion rupees through 20-year securities at a coupon of 7.26%, payable on a monthly basis. It listed these on the National Stock Exchange of India on Monday.
In March, the National Housing Bank set up a firm to facilitate the development of the residential mortgage-backed securities market by providing opportunities to long-term investors like insurers, pension and provident funds.
For LIC Housing Finance's issue, a special purpose vehicle India Residential Mortgage Trust 2025 01 issued pass-through certificates backed by a housing loan receivables pool of 11.12 billion rupees originated by the financier.
The notes are rated AAA (SO) by CRISIL and CARE.
The successful placement of LIC Housing's securities will help other housing finance companies to issue similar ones, said Venkatakrishnan Srinivasan, founder and managing partner at debt advisory firm Rockfort Fincap.

Lammy seeks to ‘deepen' UK-India ties on New Delhi visit
David Lammy will seek to deepen UK-India economic ties as he visits New Delhi this weekend, saying Britain's recently agreed trade deal with the country is 'just the start of our ambitions'. Trade and migration will be at the top of the agenda for the Foreign Secretary's trip, during which he will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and external affairs minister S Jaishankar. The Foreign Office said Mr Lammy would also raise 'the recent escalation in tensions following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, and how the welcomed sustained period of peace can be best supported in the interests of stability in the region'. Pakistan and India agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire last month after rising hostilities between the two nuclear-armed rivals followed a deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Ahead of the visit, Mr Lammy said: 'Signing a free trade agreement is just the start of our ambitions – we're building a modern partnership with India for a new global era. 'We want to go even further to foster an even closer relationship and co-operate when it comes to delivering growth, fostering innovative technology, tackling the climate crisis and delivering our migration priorities, and providing greater security for our people.' The Foreign Office said talks in New Delhi would aim to 'deepen and diversify the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries'. 'The Foreign Secretary will also welcome progress in our migration partnership, including ongoing work on safeguarding citizens and securing borders in both countries,' it said.
