Tough calls deliver big payoff at L&T Finance

In an industry where it is tough to trim business verticals, L&T Finance Holdings is as an example of having taken the bold decisions. Until a year or so back, the company was reckoned as an 'all-in-one' financier. From there, it has axed more than half of its verticals, thus reducing its operations from 22 business verticals to just three major segments, thereby letting go of lending to commercial vehicles, construction equipment, cars, leases, small and medium enterprises and so on.
