Magma to reduce exposure in tractor loans

Magma Fincorp was looking at reducing exposure in tractor loans in overall portfolio, an official said here today.
"We are looking to reduce our exposure to tractor loans in our overall portfolio. We want to focus more on the used assets segment and the affordable housing space going ahead," Magma CEO (Housing Finance and Small and Medium Enterprise) Manish Jaiswal said.
Tractor portfolio already reduced to 18 per cent in the last one year from 28 per cent, officials said.
Under the housing finance portfolio, Jaiswal said the company would like to focus more on the home loans segment as against the loan against property category.
