Piramal Finance, a subsidiary of Piramal Enterprises Limited, has partnered with the Central Bank of India to expand co-lending operations aimed at supporting underserved markets. This collaboration merges the Central Bank of India’s extensive branch network with Piramal Finance’s technological approach to lending, focusing on digital efficiency and personalized service.
The partnership leverages Piramal Finance’s network of over 500 branches across 600 districts in 26 states to offer competitive interest rates and tailored credit solutions. The focus is on providing loans to middle and low-income borrowers, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas, who are often new to credit or underserved by traditional institutions. This initiative is designed to enhance access to formal credit in regions that typically face barriers due to limited income documentation.
The collaboration also targets the credit needs of individuals in the unorganized sector, including self-employed and salaried workers. By combining their expertise, Piramal Finance and the Central Bank of India aim to bridge the credit gap for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) as well as home loan borrowers, thus supporting broader financial inclusion.
India’s digital payment landscape has seen significant growth due to regulatory initiatives, UPI adoption, and e-wallet platforms. This expansion, coupled with efforts towards a cashless society, has integrated underserved communities into the economy and provided new opportunities for women and SMEs. The increased focus on digital payments supports financial inclusion and helps bring more people into the formal financial system.
