To fund its expansion plans, the company intends to raise Rs 500 crore through non-convertible debentures (NCDs) and explore external commercial borrowing to diversify its funding sources. Aadhar Housing Finance, which went public in May 2024, is also focused on expanding its distribution network. The company has added 22 new branches this financial year and plans to open 50 more branches in the coming months, bringing its total to 545 branches across 21 states.
