Housing finance firms to raise up to Rs 12,000 crore via RMBS in FY26
ADVERTISEMENT The fundraising will be done across seven to 10 deals in the current financial year, Sanjay Shukla, managing director of NHB said on Monday. RDCL, which structured one such deal last week, is in talks with a couple of housing finance companies.
RDCL, in which NHB holds the largest stake of 39%, started operations in March 2025. In addition to structuring RMBS deals, RDCL's scope of activities involve providing liquidity support and credit enhancement, among others.
Shukla was speaking at the sidelines of listing of India's first residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). This involved LIC Housing Finance raising Rs1,000 crore last week through pass-through certificates (PTC) maturing in 20 years at a 7.26% coupon, payable monthly. PTCs are debt instruments backed by assets like loans, which in this case was the housing loan portfolio originated by LIC Housing.Securitisation of loan pools is a popular method among non-banking finance companies. But what sets this particular transaction apart is that price discovery was done through the bidding process on National Stock Exchange's electronic bidding platform.'When housing finance companies sell (loan portfolios) to banks at a pre-agreed rate, there is no price discovery. In this structure, there will be price discovery. The bidding will take place on the electronic bidding platform,' Shukla said.
ADVERTISEMENT M Nagaraju, secretary – department of financial services, said that under such transactions, the cost of borrowing is expected to come down for housing finance companies, which will be passed on to the end borrower. 'Another major benefit will be to get long-term housing loans at a fixed rate.''Once PTCs are made available to retail investors, investment in this instrument is another option, where they can get monthly inflow,' Nagaraju said.
ADVERTISEMENT In LIC Housing Finance's deal, the PTCs were issued through a special purpose vehicle and are rated AAA(SO) by CRISIL and CARE.Separately, Shukla also said that NHB is planning to raise Rs55,000-Rs60,000 crore through bonds in FY2026 compared with Rs48,000 crore in the previous financial year.

Land acquisition for Samruddhi extension, Shaktipeeth eway to begin soon in region
Nagpur: Land acquisition worth over Rs5,000 crore for Samruddhi extension, and the Shaktipeeth expressway, is expected to start in the region in the coming months. The Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has nearly completed the joint measurement of private land to be taken over for the extension of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg to Gondia and Gadchiroli. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The measurement of land in 20 villages in Wardha district to be acquired for the Shaktipeeth Expressway connecting Goa has also been concluded, said sources. For the Samruddhi Extension towards Gondia, measurement has been done in 104 villages out of 113 on the route. On the Bhandara line, 58 out of the 62 villages have been covered under joint measurement. However, a proposal for an alternative alignment for an extension towards Chandrapur has been put forward. It was eventually found that there are coal blocks on the earlier route, and the area cannot be given up for the road. A new route has been drawn, and approval is awaited, said a source. The extension will add another 400km of six-lane highway to the Samruddhi Mahamarg. This will soon be followed by the issuance of notices under the Maharashtra Highways Act, which also incorporates elements of the Land Acquisition Act of 2013, said an official. This includes provisions for compensation measured at five times the land value for those who agree and enter into a deal with MSRDC. Even those who oppose it get four-time value if their holdings are compulsorily taken over, explained a source. The base value is derived on the basis of ready reckoner rates or the average of transactions in the last three years before the notification — whichever is higher. If two crops are taken on the land with irrigation, there is an add-on of 1.5 times on the base value, and then the five-time cost is calculated. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For fully irrigated land like orchards, the add-on to the base value goes up to 2 times, explained an official. The measurement concluded without any opposition from the locals, said officials. The total cost estimated for the Samruddhi extension comes to more than Rs4,500 crore. Another close to Rs380 to 400 crore may be needed for the Shaktipeeth land acquisition in Wardha district, from where the expressway starts. The leg towards Gondia will start from Gavasi near Nagpur and terminate at the Balaghat highway, passing through Tiroda. A road connecting Bhandara and Gadchiroli will diverge from this leg. An existing road ahead will be widened by National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI), which will ultimately connect to Durg in Chhattisgarh, a source said. The joint measurement for the extension towards Chandrapur, beginning from Seldoh in Wardha, will be done after the new alignment is approved.

How Dubai residents with Dh15k-20k salary can now buy a Dh1 million house with 'first home' Initiative
Backed by 13 developers and 5 banks, the initiative helps Dubai residents earning Dh15,000 to Dh20,000 buy a home with up to 10% discounts and affordable mortgages (Representative image) For many Dubai residents earning between Dh15,000 and Dh20,000 per month, owning a home has long seemed out of reach, especially with property prices frequently surpassing Dh1 million. However, Dubai's new First-Time Homeownership Initiative, aimed at making homeownership accessible to first-time buyers, offers support for properties priced up to Dh5 million. Backed by 13 developers and 5 major banks, the program provides significant benefits, including priority access to new off-plan units, preferential pricing, and direct discounts of up to 10% on property prices. Additionally, the initiative offers flexible mortgage payment plans with better rates from participating banks, making homeownership more affordable. DLD registration fees can also be paid in interest-free instalments, easing the upfront financial burden. So, if you're eyeing that Dh1 million home, here's how you can plan your strategy, estimate your costs, and make the most of these benefits to bring your dream of homeownership closer to reality. With this initiative, even moderate-income earners can turn the goal of owning a home into a viable possibility. Step 1: Determine Affordability and Choose the Right Property Let's say you're earning Dh18,000 per month, placing you comfortably within the program's targeted salary range. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo The First-Time Homeownership Initiative aims to make homeownership a reality for people like you, with homes priced up to Dh1 million eligible under the program. According to the common mortgage lending rule, banks typically recommend that no more than 30% of your monthly income should go towards housing costs (including both the mortgage repayment and associated property costs like maintenance and insurance). Here's how we calculate this: 30% of Dh18,000 = Dh5,400 This means that, ideally, your monthly mortgage payment should not exceed Dh5,400. Now, let's consider the mortgage options available through this program. With 18-year loan tenures on offer, the total amount you can borrow will depend on the interest rate, which is among the lowest available to first-time buyers under this initiative. Now, let's see how the First-Time Homeownership Initiative supports this. Step 2: Mortgage Breakdown and Affordability The program offers competitive interest rates, making homeownership more accessible for residents earning Dh15,000 to Dh20,000 per month. While typical mortgage rates in Dubai range from 3.5% to 4.5%, this initiative, backed by major banks and developers, provides below-market financing options. A 3.5% interest rate is realistic and competitive, ensuring affordable monthly payments for first-time buyers in the mid-income range. Assuming an interest rate of 3.5%, which is reasonable given the program's supportive nature, here's how the numbers break down for a Dh1,000,000 home: Loan Amount: Dh900,000 (after taking the full 10% discount for estimate on the original property price of Dh1,000,000). Interest Rate: 3.5% per annum Loan Tenure: 18 years Using the standard mortgage calculation formula, the estimated monthly payment comes out to be around Dh5,544 (precise), which is just slightly above the 30% salary rule. With Dh18,000 per month in salary, the monthly payment of Dh5,544 still remains manageable, offering a solid financial foundation for first-time buyers. Step 3: Plan for Upfront Costs and Financing While the program offers numerous benefits, it's important to keep in mind the upfront costs, including the down payment and closing costs. As is typical in Dubai's property market, you will generally need to make a 20% down payment on the purchase price. In case this requirement remains 20%, even with the initiative's benefits, we've used this figure for a safe estimate. For a Dh1,000,000 property, this means a Dh200,000 down payment. Initial Investment: Dh200,000 Discounted Property Price: Dh900,000 (after 10% discount) Loan Amount: Dh700,000 Monthly original Payment: Dh5,544 If you're able to make the upfront payment of Dh200,000, your loan amount will reduce to Dh700,000, bringing the monthly payment down to approximately Dh4,314 per month. Though the down payment may seem steep, there are several ways to manage this: Savings: If you've been saving for a while, now is the time to use those funds for your home purchase. Employer Assistance: Some companies offer home loan assistance or partnerships with financial institutions that may help with the down payment. Personal Loans or Support: If necessary, you might consider a personal loan to cover part of the down payment, though this should be done carefully to avoid over-leveraging. Step 4: Maximize Program Benefits and Get Expert Support To make the most of the First-Time Homeownership Initiative, consider these tips: Choose the Right Property: Stay within the Dh1 million price range to keep your mortgage payments manageable (under 30% of your salary). Leverage Discounts: Use up to 10% discounts on property prices. For instance, if a home is priced at Dh900,000, you'll only finance Dh810,000, reducing monthly payments. Use Flexible Payment Plans: Opt for flexible payment plans on off-plan units that let you pay part of the cost upfront and spread the rest over time. DLD Fee Benefits: Take advantage of the option to pay Dubai Land Department (DLD) registration fees in interest-free instalments, easing your upfront costs. Work With the Right Broker: Partner with a licensed broker to find properties that match your budget and eligibility criteria. Get Pre-Approved for Financing: Secure pre-approval from a participating bank to understand what you can afford and streamline the home-buying process.

Land allotted for Katol APMC expansion, Rs1.66cr sanctioned for Kuhi Shetkari Bhavan
Nagpur: The state govt has approved expansion of the Katol Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) and allotted nearly eight hectares of land, and sanctioned Rs1.66 crore for a new Shetkari Bhavan at the Kuhi APMC.

Katol MLA Charansingh Thakur, also chairman of the APMC committee and director at the Maharashtra Agricultural Marketing Board, spearheaded the proposal. He highlighted the cold storage facility as a game-changer for the region's orange growers, who often suffer heavy post-harvest losses due to inadequate storage space.
