TAMIL NADU-HEADQUARTERED The Karur Vysya Bank's (KVB) goal is to prioritise retail and MSME loans with an emphasis on yields and granular loan book diversification. It also aims to maintain robust collection and recovery mechanisms to uphold asset quality.
Currently, the bank's commercial portfolio stands at 33%, with standalone MSME at 23% and retail also at 23%. In retail, housing loans and mortgage (loan against property or LAP) loans account for the big segments of the entire retail loan book-at 45% and 21%, respectively.
