this equals merger
HDFC Ltd Chairman Deepak Parekh said that this is a merger of equals. We believe that due to the implementation of RERA, the infrastructure status of the housing sector, and government initiatives on affordable housing, among other things, there will be a big boost in the housing finance business.
Deepak Parekh further said that in the last few years many regulations of banks and NBFCs have been improved. This created the possibility of a merger. This allowed the large balance sheet to arrange large infrastructure loans. At the same time, the credit growth of the economy increased. Affordable housing got a boost and all priority sectors including agriculture were given more credit than before.
