Star Housing Finance Limited (Star HFL), a BSE-listed housing finance company focusing on affordable housing in semi-urban and rural regions, has announced plans to list its equity shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). The move is part of the company's broader strategy to increase visibility, enhance shareholder liquidity, and attract a wider investor base. The proposed listing is subject to regulatory approvals and the fulfilment of eligibility criteria. Star HFL, which has consistently delivered strong performance in the low-cost housing finance sector, remains committed to serving economically weaker and low-income groups while aiming to expand its market footprint.

A BSE-listed company that operates in several states' low-cost retail housing finance market, Star Housing Finance Limited (Star HFL), has announced that it intends to start the process of listing its equity shares on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). This strategic move is aimed at enhancing the company's market presence, increasing liquidity for existing shareholders, and expanding its investor base. The proposed listing is contingent upon meeting the eligibility criteria and securing all necessary regulatory approvals.


Presently listed on the BSE under the scrip code BOM: 539017, Star HFL has consistently demonstrated a robust operational framework, underpinned by prudent risk management and a firm commitment to financial inclusion. The company primarily provides housing finance to low- and middle-income families in semi-urban and rural areas, focusing on economically weaker sections (EWS) and low-income groups (LIG).

Kalpesh Dave, the CEO of Star HFL, conveyed that the decision to seek listing on the NSE aligns with the company's long-term objective of building a more inclusive housing finance platform while reinforcing its market position. According to him, the dual listing is expected to not only improve liquidity for shareholders but also deepen the company's investor base, thus strengthening its access to capital markets.

Star HFL has committed to maintaining transparency by keeping its stakeholders informed as it progresses through the regulatory processes and milestones associated with the proposed NSE listing.

Founded as a retail housing finance company, Star Housing Finance Limited has been actively engaged in providing long-term housing finance to low- and middle-income families for the purchase or construction of affordable housing units. With a strong operational footprint in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, NCR, and Tamil Nadu, the company is registered as a Primary Lending Institution (PLI) under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY). Its corporate headquarters is situated in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

The initiative aligns with the company's objective of expanding its investor base while maintaining its focus on affordable housing finance for economically disadvantaged families. As Star HFL advances through the listing process, it continues to prioritise financial inclusion, leveraging its extensive presence across multiple states to solidify its market position and drive sustainable growth.
