Adar infuses Rs 1,500cr into Poonawalla Fin
MUMBAI: Vaccine king Adar Poonawalla 's Rising Sun Holdings cleared a Rs 1,500-crore equity infusion into Poonawalla Fincorp, raising its net worth to Rs 9,700 crore, in the previous week. The capital will support an aggressive retail expansion strategy under MD & CEO Arvind Kapil, who took charge just over a year ago after leading retail loans at HDFC Bank. "This is a story of senior bankers coming in, cleaning up the book, and now the promoter putting in Rs 1,500 crore," Kapil said. "It's a very big confidence statement for where he sees the company going." The NBFC is simultaneously scaling both secured and unsecured lending. It has launched six new businesses - including personal loans, education finance, and commercial vehicle loans - departing from the typical incremental product rollouts seen in the sector. The company has also committed to opening 400 branches this year, including dedicated gold loan outlets, with 80 already operational. Distribution is central to the strategy, Kapil said. The company is expanding into consumer durable stores, where customers can apply for unsecured personal loans at the point of sale through an assisted digital journey. These retail locations, which will grow to 12,000 from 3,000 this year, also serve to originate new borrowers rather than upselling to existing ones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo "It's a new-to-market model," Kapil said. "We're not just upselling to our existing customers. These are first-time borrowers, approved and disbursed on the spot." Despite caution in the sector, Kapil is confident about unsecured lending. "This is the best time to lend to MSMEs," he said. "With GST data, credit bureau coverage and visibility on multiple loans, the segment is more transparent and robust than ever." Credit costs have fallen to 1.4%, and NCDs now make up 27% of the firm's liabilities. Poonawalla Fincorp is targeting Rs 1.5 lakh crore in AUM over the next four years, up from Rs 41,000 crore.

MahaMetro Plans Feeder Bus Service From KP To Govt Offices
Nagpur: After its initial launch of feeder services from three Metro stations recently, MahaMetro is now planning to launch a dedicated feeder bus service from Kasturchand Park (KP) station for the convenience of visitors and the staff at several key govt offices in Civil Lines and Sadar. The proposed feeder route, being developed in coordination with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), is expected to serve important govt institutions including the police headquarters, CAG office, high court, chief minister's office, divisional commissioner's office, district court, Samaj Kalyan office, NMC's Civil Lines office, Van Bhavan, Govt Press, Vidhan Bhavan, and both central and state GST offices. MahaMetro officials stated that the initiative aims to promote sustainable mobility, reduce dependence on personal vehicles, and increase Metro ridership by bridging the critical last-mile gap. The route is currently under review, and feedback collected during Metro Samwad outreach sessions will help shape the final service plan. One such recent Metro Samwad was held at the state GST office, Civil Lines, where additional commissioner of state tax (Nagpur Zone) Tejrao Pacharne and joint commissioners Sanjay Kandhare and Rajendra Masram encouraged staff to consider using the Metro regularly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Design-Driven Durability: Discover Premium Stainless Steel Sheets Perforated Stainless Steel Sheets | Search ADS Search Now Undo The GST office is located around 1.8km from the nearest Metro station, highlighting the urgent need for seamless last-mile connectivity.
