Arcil Pursues Collection Services, MFI Growth Ahead of IPO
Arcil is a company that helps lenders deal with loans that may not be repaid.
It is planning to sell shares to the public in an IPO worth ₹733 crore.
The IPO will run from September 9 to September 11, but Arcil itself will not get the money from the share sale.
The company is starting a service that collects loan payments for banks and other lenders.
Arcil says lenders are showing encouraging early interest in this service.
It is also studying the microfinance business, but wants to gain more experience first.
The company manages many different kinds of loans, including housing, vehicle and personal loans.
Its retail and small-business operations have grown significantly over the past five years.
Arcil plans to launch a ₹733-crore IPO from September 9 to 11, with shares priced at ₹132-139.
The IPO is entirely an offer for sale, and Arcil will not receive proceeds from the issue.
The company is developing a Collection-as-a-Service business and reports encouraging early interest from banks and NBFCs.
Arcil is exploring microfinance institution assets while building expertise before expanding substantially in the segment.
Arcil manages ₹20,150 crore in assets and says retail and SME operations have nearly quadrupled in five years.
