The MSME sector is a key driver of India’s economy, offering high industrialisation potential. MSMEs employ a large workforce, benefit from government support, and have adopted digital solutions, driving business recovery. Aiming for a USD 5 trillion economy by 2025, India expects MSMEs to contribute over 40% of nominal GDP, necessitating strong backing from government, institutions, and banks.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd. is a non-deposit-taking NBFC catering to underserved customers in India’s lending market. As of September 30, 2024, it operates 139 branches across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. With the highest branch network in Rajasthan among peers (CARE Report, FY24), the company offers MSME loans, vehicle loans, construction loans, and other financial solutions. Over 80% of its MSME loans qualify as Priority Sector Lending under RBI guidelines, driving economic growth and financial inclusion.
Focus on MSME financing
Over the last three fiscals (2022–2024) and the period ended June 30, 2024, MSME financing contributed 75.37% to 86.64% of Laxmi India Finance Ltd.'s revenue and represented 73.94% to 80.47% of its overall AUM. The company supports diverse business needs by offering secured MSME loans ranging from ₹0.05 lakhs to ₹2.5 lakhs, backed by residential or commercial property. With an average LTV ratio of 43.60%, the smaller ticket size and asset-backed structure help mitigate default risk. As of June 30, 2024, the company served 15,732 MSME customers.
Broader reach in semi-urban and rural areas through direct and indirect sourcing channels.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd. is expanding its sales network across rural and semi-urban India. Between March 2020 and March 2024, rural credit grew 17.5% YoY to ₹12.52 trillion, while semi-urban credit surged 22.3% to ₹22.57 trillion (Source: CARE Report). With traditional banks underserving mid-sized and lower-rated companies, NBFCs have a significant opportunity to bridge the financing gap through innovative and flexible solutions.
The Hub and Branch model optimises operations, cuts costs, boosts accessibility, and drives growth.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd. operates on a hub-and-branch model to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and expand its reach. Hub branches serve as central points for loan disbursement, supporting surrounding branches and streamlining operations. Equipped with key decision-makers, including credit managers and operations teams, these hubs improve resource optimisation and customer service. Strategically located in rural and semi-urban areas, the model enables greater accessibility, doorstep services, and deeper penetration into underserved markets.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd. relies on substantial capital for its operations. Any disruption in funding sources or inability to secure capital on favourable terms could impact liquidity, cash flows, business operations, and financial stability.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd. primarily serves mid to low-income customers in rural and semi-urban areas, who are more vulnerable to economic downturns. Any defaults from these customers could impact the company's business, cash flows, financial condition, and operational performance.
Laxmi India Finance Ltd.'s AUM is primarily concentrated in the north-western region of India. Any adverse developments in this region could negatively impact the company's business, cash flows, and operational performance.
