Mr. R.R.Nair, Director and Chief Executive, LIC Housing Finance Limited said “The Company achieved a robust business growth in the second quarter, continuing on the strong Q1 performance. We are confident of delivering full year business growth numbers much in excess of industry averages. NPAs have also shown signs of easing in the second quarter and here too the Company is well in sight of its year–end targets of achieving gross NPA level of below 1%. Income growth has been lower than loan portfolio growth primarily because of lower margins on account of the Company passing on the lower cost benefits to the existing customers to an extent of 200 basis points in the past nine months. As far as margins are concerned, they are likely to improve in due course.”
