Kirloskar's NBFC turns focus to MSME loans to reduce risks

Arka Fincap, a Kirloskar Group-owned NBFC, is shifting its focus towards MSME loans to reduce wholesale credit risk. They aim for MSME loans to constitute 70% of their total portfolio, up from the current 50%, with a target to increase this to 75%. The NBFC, which has doubled its total loan book to ₹5,300 crore, plans to grow it further to ₹7,500 crore by FY25, with a significant portion from MSME lending.
