We are focusing on financing solar power needs aggressively as there is a growing appetite for solar energy adoption and consummation in the market. Our goal is to increase the share of green financing in the loan book to 40 percent resulting in reduction of carbon emission. We are aiming to grow our total assets under management (AUM) to Rs.1000 crore by FY25 and scale up the share of green financing loan portfolio to Rs.400 crore.
