About SK Finance Limited Limited

Established in 1994 by Rajendra Kumar Setia, the company is a non-deposit-taking non-banking finance company (NBFC) operating in two primary verticals: vehicle financing and financing for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Recognised as the fastest-growing player in these sectors by the CRISIL, it has demonstrated significant growth in assets under management (AUM), particularly between Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2023.

The company's vehicle financing vertical primarily focuses on secured, granular retail loans for used and new commercial vehicles (excluding medium and heavy commercial vehicles), cars, tractors, and new two-wheelers. As of December 2023, it was noted for having the highest used vehicle finance share among its peers.

In the MSME sector, it began lending in late 2016, targeting businesses primarily for their working capital needs. These loans are fully backed by assets and are mainly directed towards income generation for customers who are often self-employed, unbanked, predominantly in rural and semi-urban areas of India.

The company's extensive distribution network has enabled it to provide last-mile financial support in rural regions, which are significantly underserved by traditional banking channels. As of December 31, 2023, the company operated through 535 branches across 11 states and one union territory, employing over 10,725 individuals.

Industry Outlook:

The vehicle finance segment in India is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated increase from ₹11.85 trillion in Fiscal 2023 to approximately ₹21 trillion by Fiscal 2027, driven by a CAGR of 16-18%. This growth is supported by the recovery in demand and easing semiconductor shortages, particularly in the passenger vehicle sector.
NBFCs are anticipated to continue dominating the vehicle finance market, maintaining a significant share of 39.97% in Fiscal 2023, with expected growth at a CAGR of approximately 17% from Fiscal 2023-2026. This is bolstered by their ability to cater to a wide range of customers, including those in underbanked rural and semi-urban areas.
