MORTGAGE MARKET OVERVIEW: LOW COST HOUSING - THE KEY
GROWTH DRIVER –

Home loan is one of the most important products in the retail consumer segment. It
has a huge bearing on the customer acquisition/ retention strategy. Housing Finance
Industry is one of the fastest growing Industry in India with roughly Rs.10 trillion
Mortgage Market, and has immense untapped potential with more than 90% of
shortage in Low Cost Housing segment. Penetration from formal lending source is
less than 10% of total Mortgage Finance, which is far below as compared to the other
Countries in the World.

While several Housing Finance entities like Public and Private Sector Banks, Housing
Finance Companies, Co-operative Societies, and other informal Loan bodies exist in
current economy, retail level financing of affordable Low cost housing largely remains
untapped and unaddressed. This happens typically due to the lending systems which
is based on formal evidences of customer’s Financials for lending, and the unserved
and Under-served segment continues to remain unattended.

                                                                             5|Page

Significant increase is expected in households in LIG and MIG income bracket of The
Next Billion, primarily due to large scale urbanisation.

In addition, with Government’s relentless focus on providing housing to all and
thereby stimulating economic development and growth along with Social well-being,
the Housing Finance sector in India is looking at exciting times ahead.

Another interesting development is that around one third of new Home Loans market
in terms of units, has started flowing in the low-cost housing segment. According to
Bankers trust, there’s an estimated housing shortage of 39.3 million in rural India, the
reason why financial intermediaries still have huge scope to serve this Industry.

PRODUCT MIX AND PRICING MATRIX -

PRODUCT MIX CONCEPT FOR STAR HFC - Housing finance companies are facing
tough competition due to the inclination of mainstream HFCs and banks towards the
affordable housing segment and funding at a lower rate by taking business calls on

focus on the affordable housing segment due to high returns. We at STAR want to
create a quality portfolio at a weighted ROI of 16 % and also to have a presence in the
builder's and high income net worth segments and thus we need to have product mix
with multiple lines with pricing mix concepts.

Product mix, also known as product assortment, refers to the total number of product
lines a company offers to its customers. We being HFC, Pricing is a critical element for
us and we must need to have a pricing mix as well.

Being HFC , our product mix is the most important part of developing our marketing
strategy. In the current competitive scenario of the housing finance market it is
essential for us to have multiple products for the targeted affordable housing segment.
Selling a variety of financial products helps us increase our sales and profit potential
and would reduce our dependency on a conservative housing product and policy.

DIFFERENTIATING BRAND - In addition to factors like multiple options for selling
home loans products, enhancing staff productivity, one stop home loans products,
product mix is essentially for mass marketing and our brand identity. It is, after all,
why customers shop with us. In classic marketing theory, a key business success is
having a unique selling point or proposition (USP). What’s different about our brand
that customers can’t find elsewhere – a product, service and experience that makes
them choose our products y over our competitors and keeps them to refer to others.

PRICING MATRIX - Suggested pricing mix is ranging between 14 % to 24 % and
weighted average ROI to be maintained minimum 16 percent.

LOWER ROI RANGING 14-15 % suggested only for builder's tie up and documented
income customers.

HIGH ROI RANGING 16-17.50 % suggested for semi urban and urban properties-
currently we are doing it

HIGH ROI RANGING 18-24 % (to be offered basis on documented and
undocumented income profiles and consideration of agriculture income) suggested
for rural housing properties. Rajasthan, MP, Gujarat, and TL are potential markets for
rural housing finance at higher ROIs.

HOW TO MAINTAIN WEIGHTED AVERAGE ROI OF 16 % - Branches need to
funding at least 30 % of monthly disbursement portfolio at higher ROI 18-24 % and
30 % at 16-17.50 % and 40 % at 14-15 % as to maintain average weighted ROI of 16 %.
However branches are having free hands to maintain weighted average of ROI above
16 percent if they want to be focused more on rural housing finance.

                                                                             34 | P a g e
