Poonawalla Fincorp (NSE:POON) Limited (PFL), a prominent NBFC backed by the Cyrus Poonawalla Group, has announced its entry into the fast-growing consumer durables loan segment, marking a pivotal move in its journey to scale its retail lending operations and deepen customer engagement.

The newly launched offering includes instant consumer durable loans and a digital EMI card with pre-approved limits, enabling customers to finance electronics, appliances, and other high-demand goods with ease. Backed by a tech-first model, PFL promises real-time loan sanctions—within just 5 minutes—at point-of-sale dealer locations. This strategic launch is designed not just to boost disbursements but also to unlock a robust cross-sell engine for other financial products like personal loans and insurance.

“This is not just a product launch—it’s a strategic lever to scale our retail business faster, deeper, and more profitably,” said Arvind (NSE:ARVN) Kapil, MD & CEO of PFL. “It unlocks access to millions of new customers and enables us to serve them across their financial lifecycle.”

With financing penetration in India’s consumer durables segment at just 30%, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the opportunity is immense. PFL aims to tap into this growing demand by collaborating with 5,000 dealers and entering 70 key locations in the initial phase. The company is also enabling real-time disbursement systems to enhance dealer satisfaction and streamline operations.

This launch marks PFL’s sixth business line as part of its aggressive expansion strategy and continues its commitment to customer-centric innovation in lending.
