L&T Finance to expand microfinance biz in Guj, Orissa
Press Trust of India / Ahmedabad Feb 09, 2010, 18:36 IST

L&T Finance, the financial services arm of the engineering giant Larsen & Toubro, today said it is planning to extend its micro-finance business to Gujarat and Orissa soon.

"In the microfinance sector we have been working for over one-and-half-years now in four states--Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Maharashtra--where we have over 5 lakh clients," L&T Finance vice-president Dinanath Dubhashi, who was here to announce the launch of the ompany's non-convertible debentures, told PTI today.

"In a couple of months time we also plan to provide microfinance to the people of Gujarat and Orissa," he added.

Dubhashi said the company had five branches in major cities of these state to operate from and approach the rural populace and provide microfinance, mainly for income generating activities.

"Our experience in the past 18 months has been very good and we have recovered almost 99 per cent of our loan amount from the four states where we are working," he said.

Explaining their lending model, Dubhashi said while giving loans the company make the villagers form joint liability groups consisting of four-five persons. Such groups help as the liability of loan remittance lies on the entire group, he said.
